The Clone Wars - S5E9 - "A Necessary Bond"

1:34 - Katooni (after Ganodi doesn't answer on the comlink):  "Where could she be?"  Luke has a similar line in A New Hope as he's trying to raise C-3PO on his comlink:  "Where could he be?" [1:22:12 and 1:23:19], and C-3PO himself has a similar line a bit later in A New Hope:  "Where could they be?" [1:29:33].

6:29 - Grievous (to Hondo):  "You can dispense with the pleasantries, pirate."  Vader says almost the same thing (to Moff Jerjerrod) in Return of the Jedi:  "You may dispense with the pleasantries, commander" [3:58].

9:32 - Battle droid (to R2-D2, who's creating a diversion):  "You just watch yourself."  In A New Hope, Doctor Evazan says this to Luke in the cantina [46:40].

11:08 - Huyang:  "I have instructed younglings for over a thousand generations, and these are among the best I have ever seen."  Obi-Wan uses this same phrase in A New Hope when he tells Luke, "For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic" [33:54].

15:57 - Hondo (after Katooni tells him, "They went the wrong way" [the pirate tank with the rest of the Jedi turned down a different tunnel]):  "Don't worry."  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45]; Luke tells R2, "Don't worry, R2.  We're going!  We're going!" [36:07]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).
