The Clone Wars - S5E17 - "Sabotage"

2:41 - Ahsoka (referring to Anakin):  "Somebody has to save his skin."  Leia uses the same expression in A New Hope ("Somebody has to save our skins" [1:18:22]), and Anakin uses it in Revenge of the Sith (when he tells Obi-Wan, "Alright, but you owe me one, and not for saving your skin for the tenth time" [24:38]).

3:22 - Ahsoka (after R2-D2 apparently slides off the cliff with Anakin's starfighter):  "R2!"  As a quote this isn't very unique, but combined with the situation, there's some resemblance to a scene in The Empire Strikes Back where R2 falls off Luke's X-wing into the swamp waters of Dagobah and Luke also yells, "R2!" [42:14]

15:59 - Above the door and in the kitchen of Jackar and Letta's apartment, there are panels that feature more uses of the hexagonal pattern seen in the homestead garage in Attack of the Clones and A New Hope.
