The Clone Wars - S4E7 - "Darkness on Umbara"

0:19 - Narrator:  "As the Separatists tighten their grip over vital but isolated supply routes, the Republic launches a lightning strike into a remote, ghost nebula to control the strategic system of Umbara."  Leia uses this same expression in A New Hope:  "The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers" [57:44].

1:09 - Fives:  "Just like old times, Rex."  Biggs says almost the same thing in A New Hope:  "It'll be like old times, Luke" [1:43:34].

Throughout this episode arc, Umbara is described as dark and shadowy.  The name Umbara seems to be derived from the Latin word umbra, which means shadow.
