I dont know if its considerd a phrase but in the Xbox game
Jedi Academy i was board and saw the "blue" sign in the Courscant level with the alien head next to it with the Aurebesh words. Anyways i translated the Aurebesh with the Insider issue with Obi, Anakin and Padme on the cover on the reek and it says

"Caution on all Walkways" I thought it was pretty cool but the blue sign and red signs say diffrent things on the coruscant level i didnt translate the red though.

To a lesser degree, the terms spacer and slicer are also commonly used, even though I think neither of them were ever mentioned on-screen in the OT.

Spacer isn't a uniquely SW phrase, but slicer is (to the best of my knowledge). I think the first we hear of it is HttE. Actually... it would HAVE to be HttE, one of the characters IS a slicer.

Well, I've never heard Spacer being used anywhere else, but I think you're right about slicer.

Spacer = Asimov.

Comandant was never an actual rank in the Wehrmacht, it was (as you said) simply used to refer to the commanding officer of a garrison or base. Does the Empire have an actual rank of Commander?

Vader addressed the officer who delivered Luke to him in ROTJ as Commander ("Good work, Commander.")

Whether that was his real rank or not, I have no idea.

Who?

The use of words like "Punch it, Hit It," followed by chewie, to depict a transition to FTL speeds.

And my favourite joke:"Arnnnnghhh!" means turn left by that big asteroid, raise shields and allevuial boosters by ten percent

"Macro" tends to get used a lot, such as macrobinoculars and macroscopes.

It does. Its the rank above Captain. Captain Convarian of the VSD Corrupter was a commander until he displeased Ysanne Isard and was bumped down a rank. Of course Rogue Squadron bumbed him down to dead when they blew up his ship but thats neither here nor there.
