Throughout the PT, there are so many lines or incidents that act as 'foreshadowing' to the OT that it's not even funny sometimes, so I thought I'd make a thread dedicated to it.
So, just list 'em!
For example, they could be lines spoken by the actors.
"Why do I get the feeling that you'll be the death of me?" - Kenobi, AOTC
"To a dark place will this line of thought lead us."--Yoad in ROTS about Palpatine's removal.
That's true, since Yoda ended up on the very dark Dagobah.

Incidents:
-That part in AOTC while Anakin is flirting with Padme, he tells her something to the effect of that things would be better if there was less debating in the senate and if one person controlled everything, namely him.
-Young Boba Fett picks up his father's helmet (head included).
-The ship Anakin is flying at the beginning of ROTS looks vaguely like a Tie fighter.
Your second one, no. Look closely for the shadow of his head flying off.
Third, that was purposful. In fact, if you look closely enough, you can just make out that the Republic Cruisers look strangely like Star Destroyers.

The meeting in the bar in AoTC where Obi-Wan cuts off Zam Wessels arm. It forshadows his later encounter with Ponda Bobba in the Cantina where he cuts of his arm.
Also kind of a little humor but when Obi-Wan looses them in the Asteroid field in Episdoe 2. He is cloaked in the asteroid. It's kind of funny because Boba doesn't make the same mistake when Han and the other are hiding on the side of the star destroyer and they camoflauge themselves in the garbage and then when they fly off Boba is right on thier tale. It's kind of a small detail.
Let's see here...besides the obvious ones like "Fear is the path to the darkside..." we have:
"Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us." - Vader sacrifices himself and his dreams of taking over with his son, in order to save his son, who oddly requests him to save him.
Anakin blowing up the Death Star-shaped Trade Federation ship/Luke blowing up the Death Star
Follow me on this one. Palpatine in the third film is using Force Lightning on an ally of Anakin when he switches to the dark side, and Mace is thrown to a death. Now in the third film of the OT, Palpatine is using Force Lightning on an ally of Anakin, his son, when he switches to the light side, and throws Palpatine down to his death.
Anakin in Episode 2 grasps the sphere in his hands - Anakin is given control of the Death Star in a way
Owen seems to think that Anakin shouldn't go searching for his mother, and should, yes, "stay on the farm", and you know what the deal is with Luke in ANH.
Padme is wearing an all white outfit when she first says she loves Anakin, meanwhile Leia is wearing an all white outfit when she first says she loves Han
Anakin's mistake in Episode 2 is going through the power coupling, where he gets partially electrocuted - later on, he dies from electrocution.
Anakin, before his transformation, never wields his own red bladed lightsaber, symbolizing that there is still good in him, even in the Mustafar duel.
I'll think of more another time when it isn't 3 in the morning lol

Ouch!!!
And I caught the Obi Wan "why do I get the feeling you'll be the death of me?" immediately when I saw AOTC.
Of course, there's always the scene where Obi Wan picks up Anakin's lightsaber on Mustafar and in ANH tells Luke, "your father wanted you to have this" - hmmm, new siggy coming I think!
