The Clone Wars - S5E3 - "Front Runners"

5:16 - Obi-Wan:  "But we need to be mindful of public perception."  He uses the same expression in Attack of the Clones ("Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin; they betray you" [12:29]) and in the previous episode.

14:06 - Steela:  "We're running out of time."  Qui-Gon also says this in The Phantom Menace:  "Either way, we're running out of time" [40:07].

14:45 - Steela:  "I'll draw their fire."  Red Leader says something similar near the end of A New Hope, as the assault on the Death Star begins:  "I'm gonna cut across the axis and try and draw their fire" [1:46:08].

16:29 - Steela (to Saw before he fires the tank's cannon into the power generator):  "You're all clear."  Han Solo uses this same expression near the end of A New Hope, before Luke fires his torpedo into the Death Star:  "You're all clear, kid.  Now let's blow this thing and go home." [1:56:54]

20:27 - As Dooku introduces him ("This is Kalani"), Kalani steps into the hologram in the same way that Darth Maul steps into the hologram when Darth Sidious introduces him ("This is my apprentice, Darth Maul") in The Phantom Menace [27:38].  The relative positions of the two characters are also similar:



21:43 - Steela (explaining to Ahsoka why she can't just let Saw leave):  "He's my brother."  Leia also says this in Return of the Jedi [2:04:03].
