The Clone Wars - S6E6 - "The Rise of Clovis"

1:11 - Nix Card (acquiesing to Clu Lesser's declaration that "any future disruptions will be placed upon your shoulders):  "As you wish."  The phrase "As you wish" occurs a number of times in the original trilogy:  in A New Hope, Vader says it after Tarkin asks him to release General Motti from his Force choke [38:45]; in The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett says it after Vader warns the bounty hunters against disintegrations [1:06:22]; in Return of the Jedi, Vader says it twice more in conversations with the Emperor [39:16 and 1:07:38], and Admiral Piett says it to Vader ("As you wish, my lord") [56:13].  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray says, "As you wish" at the end of a conversation with Darth Sidious [5:04], and in Revenge of the Sith, Captain Typho says, "As you wish, my lady," to Padmé [1:41:23].

2:26 - Darth Sidious (to Nix Card):  "You will be protected; I can assure you."  As Palpatine, he uses similar expressions talking to Mace Windu and addressing the senate in Revenge of the Sith ("And I assure you, the senate will vote to continue the war as long as Grievous is alive" [25:12] and "But I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger!" [1:35:16]) and talking to Luke in Return of the Jedi ("I assure you we are quite safe from your friends here" [1:32:08]).  Qui-Gon also uses the expression in The Phantom Menace; after Queen Amidala says that Senator Palpatine fears the Trade Federation wants to destroy her, he replies, "I assure you I will not allow that to happen" [1:36:33].

6:56 - Darth Tyrannus (to Darth Sidious):  "Of course, my lord, as you wish."  An-other "as you wish."

7:05 - In his room, Anakin has a model of a Jedi starfighter, and it has a tripod stand that's similar to that of Luke's skyhopper model in A New Hope:



16:21 - Clovis (to the medical droid after it says someone wants to speak to him):  "What are you talking about?"  This line appears three times in A New Hope:  twice, C-3PO asks R2-D2, "What are you talking about?" [6:51 and 9:47], and later, in response to Luke's urge to rescue Leia, Han Solo asks, "What are you talkin' about?" [1:11:03].  In Attack of the Clones, Anakin also asks Padmé, "What are you talking about?" [1:43:07].

18:17 - Clovis (after a Muun says, "We are indebted to Rush Clovis for his service to our people"):  "Well, I have done only what I thought was right."  This is similar to what Obi-Wan counsels Luke in A New Hope:  "You must do what you feel is right, of course" [36:48].

18:46 - Padmé (to Clovis):  "Good luck."  In The Empire Strikes Back, an unidentified Rebel pilot wishes Luke good luck [36:02] and Luke wishes Lando good luck [2:00:09], and in Return of the Jedi, Han and Lando wish each other good luck [Han to Lando at 50:33 and Lando to Han at 52:21].
