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

In "The Rise of Clovis," after Clovis repeatedly asks about the relationship between Padmé and Anakin, Padmé asserts that "there is nothing romantic between he and I."  The pronouns "he" and "I" are in the wrong grammatical case here; they should be "him" and "me."  Presumably, as a senator, Padmé has a quality education and wouldn't normally make such a mistake, but her misuse of these pronouns indicates that she's flustered because of Clovis's suspicion - or perhaps even discernment - of the romantic relationship that does indeed exist between the two.  It's also significant that Padmé separates herself from Anakin here; she says, "he and I" and not "us."

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].
