The Clone Wars - S5E8 - "Bound for Rescue"

6:34 - One of the clone pilots suddenly lowers his speed so that the two Vulture droids that were pursuing him overtake him, similar to what Luke does with scout troopers on speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi [59:47].

12:47 - In the cockpit of the travelling carnival ship, there's yet an-other use of the hexagonal pattern seen in the homestead garage in Attack of the Clones and A New Hope:



15:10 - The framing of the shot of Obi-Wan's escape pod launching is very similar to that of C-3PO and R2-D2's escape pod launching in A New Hope, with the camera looking straight on [7:02]:



16:30 - Petro (to Katooni):  "Patience."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda and Obi-Wan also counsel Luke with, "Patience!" [Yoda at 54:36 and 55:03; Obi-Wan at 1:24:18], and in Return of the Jedi, the Emperor advises Vader:  "Patience, my friend" [38:57].  It's also part of Obi-Wan's advice to Anakin in Attack of the Clones:  "Patience.  Use the Force.  Think." [21:49].  Also in Attack of the Clones, Dooku, referring to Padmé, tells Gunray, "Patience, Viceroy, patience; she will die" [1:49:27].

20:32 - Ahsoka (to Gungi):  "Get us out of here."  In A New Hope, Han Solo also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].
