0:18 - Narrator: "A diplomatic mission!" Like I mentioned two episodes ago, the phrase "diplomatic mission" occurs a couple times in A New Hope. Captain Antilles tells Vader that "We're on a diplomatic mission" [5.55], and later Leia tells him, "I'm a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan" [7:58].
3:30 - Deputy Minister Jerec: "The actions by our government have taken us into a period of civil war." (He says this in both the falsified recording and the unaltered one at 18:16.) The phrase "a period of civil war" also appears in the opening crawl of A New Hope: "It is a period of civil war."
4:59 - Satine (to Palpatine): "You will turn our planet into a military target, which will bring the war to us." Tarkin also uses the phrase "a military target" in A New Hope when he's talking to Leia: "You would prefer another target? A military target? Then name the system!" [58:12].

In both the episode trivia and the featurette for this episode on the Star Wars website, it's noted that the Coruscant plaza is based on a Ralph McQuarrie painting.
