4:49 - Jar Jar: "Meesa on a diplomatic mission." 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].

The Clone Wars - S3E2 - "ARC Troopers"
2:43 - Lama Su (after Obi-Wan explains that there may be a Separatist attack on Kamino): "But the Republic blockade is far too strong. They would not dare." In The Phantom Menace, Sio Bibble says the same thing after Qui-Gon tells Amidala that the Trade Federation will kill her if she stays on Naboo: "They wouldn't dare!" [23:36].
4:10 - General Grievous: "Commence attack!" Admiral Ackbar has a similar line in Return of the Jedi: "Commence attack on the Death Star's main reactor!" [1:54:46]
7:49 - Screenshots don't really do this justice, so I won't include them, but this shot of Obi-Wan riding an aiwha and emerging from beneath the ocean is very similar to a shot of a Kaminoan doing the same thing in Attack of the Clones [50:18].
14:31 - Battle droid (knocking on a door): "Open up!" This is similar to a situation in A New Hope where a stormtrooper knocks on the door of the room where C-3PO and R2-D2 are hiding and says, "Open up in there! Open up in there!" [1:17:57], just from the opposite perspective.

The Clone Wars - S3E1 - "Clone Cadets"
3:00 - El-Les: "CT-782 seems to follow his own path. He can't do it all alone." Leia uses this same phrase to describe Han in A New Hope: "He's got to follow his own path; no one can choose it for him" [1:42:47].
5:05 - Bric: "If you two would focus on fighting droids as much as you do fighting each other, you might stand a chance out there." Perhaps coincidentally, this bears some similarity to Obi-Wan's comment to Anakin in Attack of the Clones: "If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you do your wit, you would rival Master Yoda as a swordsman" [16:30].
8:29 - Commander Colt: "Start the citadel challenge, version THX, variable 1138." This is a nod to the title of an-other George Lucas movie, THX 1138. The number 1138 occurs a number of times in Star Wars.

Bric's armor is similar to that of General Veers, Dengar, and the snowtroopers in The Empire Strikes Back (as is Moralo Eval's armor in S4E16 - "Friends and Enemies"):

The Clone Wars - S2E22 - "Lethal Trackdown"
1:48 - Anakin stands at a window in the Jedi temple in the same pose that he stands in on Naboo in Attack of the Clones [59:17] and that Vader stands in on the bridge of his Star Destroyer in The Empire Strikes Back [20:27]:
20:04 - This quick shot of Aurra Sing's boot adjusting a control on her speeder bike is similar to that of a scout trooper doing the same thing in Return of the Jedi [1:00:14], just horizontally flipped and at a slightly different angle:
