The Clone Wars - S4E16 - "Friends and Enemies"

3:25 - Cad Bane looks at a hat like Indiana Jones':

7:44 - Some of the panels in the background have the same hexagon pattern that's also seen in the homestead garage in Attack of the Clones and A New Hope:



9:02 - Obi-Wan (as Hardeen) reaches up to his bound feet to use the Force to release them.  There's a similar shot in The Empire Strikes Back where Luke reaches up in a vain attempt to free his own bound feet [9:01]:



12:49 - Cad Bane (about Hardeen's suggestion to split Eval's reward fifty-fifty):  "Over my dead corpse."
Hardeen:  "Don't tempt me."

There's a similar exchange in A New Hope.  After Greedo tells Han Solo that Jabba may take his (Han's) ship, Han says, "Over my dead body" to which Greedo replies, "That's the idea" [50:42].

16:31 - Moralo Eval:  "Who sells a ship with only enough fuel to get to this lousy rock?"  In A New Hope, Luke also disdainfully calls a planet a rock; after C-3PO asks if there's anything he can do to help, he replies, "Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock" [19:58].

19:47 - Anakin:  "You're going to pay for what you did."
Hardeen:  "You shouldn't have gotten involved."

There are two similarities here.  In Attack of the Clones, Anakin says almost the same thing:  "You're gonna pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku" [2:04:51], and in A New Hope, Obi-Wan uses the same expression when he tells Luke, "He [Luke's uncle] didn't hold with your father's ideals, thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved" [32:42].

Moralo Eval's armor is similar to that of General Veers, Dengar, and the snowtroopers:

The helmet that Hardeen wears is based on a piece of Ralph McQuarrie concept art for Boba Fett:

It's even mentioned specifically in this video:
