Rebels - S2E14 - "Legends of the Lasat"

4:42 - Chava:  "Everything is happening as it was meant to."  The Emperor says something similar near the beginning of Return of the Jedi:  "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen" [39:19].

4:54 - Agent Kallus (to stormtrooper, about the rebels):  "Move in.  I'll be there soon, and, commander, I want them alive."  Vader gives the same command to the stormtroopers in A New Hope ("Bring me the passengers; I want them alive!" [6:08]) and to the bounty hunters in The Empire Strikes Back ("You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive, no disintegrations" [1:06:14]).

6:23 - Ezra:  "Thanks, Hondo.  We owe you one."  In Return of the Jedi, Han also tells Luke, "I owe you one" [37:21].

17:13 - Zeb:  "Trust me, Hera."   Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

20:54 - Ezra (after Zeb says the two Lasat aren't alone):  "What are you talkin' 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].

Rebels - S2E13 - "The Protector of Concord Dawn"

1:05 - Commander Sato:  "So we go in with strength, scout the system for defenses to see what we're up against."  Luke uses the same expression shortly before the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope when he tells Han, "You know what's about to happen, what they're up against" [1:41:48].

1:29 - Hera:  "To grow the rebellion, we need friends like these Mandalorians; we could have our route and a powerful ally as well."  While speaking with the Emperor, Vader describes Luke the same way in The Empire Strikes Back:  "If he could be turned, he could become a powerful ally" [53:56].

2:19 - Sabine (to Phoenix Squadron):  "Everybody, stay sharp."  Han says, "Stay sharp" twice in A New Hope, once to Chewbacca before making the jump to hyperspace away from Tatooine [56:08] and once to Luke shortly before the Death Star's sentry ships attack [1:34:15].

3:05 - Phoenix pilot:  "I'm hit!"  Obi-Wan says this in Revenge of the Sith after buzz droids land on his starfighter [5:23].  In A New Hope, this is said by a Rebel pilot ("I'm hit!" [1:48:06]), Luke ("I'm hit, but not bad" [1:48:48]), and Wedge ("I'm hit!" [1:54:32]).  A rebel pilot also says, "I'm hit!" in Return of the Jedi [1:44:16].

3:20 - Hera:  "Phoenix Squadron, take evasive action!"  In The Empire Strikes Back, an Imperial officer also says, "Take evasive action!" [37:19]

6:17 - Kanan (to Sabine):  "There's nothing you could have done."  In A New Hope, Obi-Wan tells Luke this after he finds his aunt and uncle dead:  "There's nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there" [42:02].  After the duel between Vader and Obi-Wan in A New Hope, Leia tells Luke nearly the same thing:  "There wasn't anything you could have done" [1:33:52].

6:40 - Sabine:  "Fen Rau, the Protector of Concord Dawn.  That's who did this.  That's who we're up against."  See above, 1:05.

6:59 - Commander Sato (about the Battle of Mygeeto):  "That was a long time ago."  Han uses the same expression in The Empire Strikes Back, after Chewbacca makes a comment that's evidently about something Han did to Lando in the past:  "Well, that was a long time ago; I'm sure he's forgotten about that" [1:18:44].  The phrase "A long time ago" is also shown at the beginning of each of the movies.

10:01 - Kanan (to Sabine, surveying the Mandalorian base):  "Well, what are we up against?"  See above, 1:05.

10:15 - Kanan (to Sabine):  "Now get down; they got company."  Han uses a similar expression in A New Hope:  "Luke, we're gonna have company!" [1:15:46].

12:39 - Fen Rau (about the Battle of Mygeeto):  "That was a long time ago."  See above, 6:59.

15:44 - Sabine:  "I call out you, Fen Rau.  You're gonna pay for what you did to Hera."  In Attack of the Clones, Anakin says almost the same thing:  "You're gonna pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku" [2:04:51].

17:03 - Sabine:  "There are alternatives to killing."  Obi-Wan makes a similar comment in A New Hope when he tells Han, "You can't win, but there are alternatives to fighting" [1:05:06].

20:01 - Mandalorian (to Fen Rau):  "Sir, are you alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Anakin asks Qui-Gon, "Are you alright?" [1:17:31] and Padmé asks Anakin, "You alright?" [1:19:06].  In Attack of the Clones, Padmé asks Anakin, "Ani, are you alright?" [50:02], and later a clone trooper asks Padmé, "Are you alright?" [2:05:54].  In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin asks the Chancellor, "Are you alright?"[11:49], and a bit later, Mace Windu asks him, "Chancellor Palpatine, are you alright?" [24:53].  In A New Hope, Luke asks Obi-Wan this [59:16] and Biggs asks Luke [1:46:44], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke asks, "Rogue Two, are you alright?" [30:31].  Twice in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this with a shortened "You alright?" once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].

20:21 - Mandalorian (acquiesing to Rau's orders):  "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].

Rebels - S2E12 - "A Princess on Lothal"

1:37 - Lieutenant Lyste (referring to the incoming delegation from Alderaan):  "I'll handle this personally."  Vader has a similar line in A New Hope, albeit as a command:  "See to it personally, commander" [8:42].

4:21 - Leia (to Kanan and Ezra):  "Follow my lead and try and keep up."  In Attack of the Clones, Padmé says the same thing to Anakin after they land on Geonosis:  "Look, whatever happens out there, follow my lead" [1:35:51].

4:51 - Lyste (to Leia):  "From what I hear, your ships have an unfortunate habit of falling into rebel hands.  I assure you:  that won't happen on my watch."  Qui-Gon uses the same 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].  Palpatine uses it while 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 while talking to Luke in Return of the Jedi ("I assure you we are quite safe from your friends here" [1:32:08]).

7:07 - Kanan (to Leia):  "This time, you follow my lead."  See above, 4:21.

7:39 - Stormtrooper (to Kanan in disguise as a stormtrooper, referring to Ryder):  "We have orders to terminate one of them immediately."  Referring to Leia, Tarkin gives the same command in A New Hope:  "Terminate her immediately" [1:03:05].  In Return of the Jedi, C-3PO, translating for Jabba the Hutt, also uses this expression:  "His high exaltedness, the great Jabba the Hutt has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately" [28:48].

13:50 - Lyste (to stormtroopers, referring to The Phantom):  "This is the rebel ship we've been looking for!  Set weapons for stun!"  The first part of this may reference Obi-Wan's "These aren't the droids you're looking for" in A New Hope [43:39].  "Set for stun" is also said by one of the stormtroopers aboard the Tantive IV in A New Hope [6:24], and in The Empire Strikes Back, it's part of Vader's instructions to Admiral Piett:  "Prepare the boarding party, and set your weapons for stun" [1:57:09].

Rebels - S2E11 - "Legacy"

5:17 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "Stay in the moment.  Be in this place, at this time."  Although the specific words don't match, this is basically the same advice that Qui-Gon gives in Obi-Wan at the beginning of The Phantom Menace:  "Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs" [3:16].

9:47 - Kanan (to Ezra and Zeb):  "We'll take the long way around."  Padmé says almost the same thing in The Phantom Menace, after Darth Maul arrives and blocks the way:  "We'll take the long way" [1:50:30].

10:07 - Commander Sato:  "We are employing escape plan delta, Captain Syndulla."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke announces the similarly named "Attack pattern delta" [26:44].

12:56 - Sabine (as The Ghost is closing on the tractor beam emitter):  "Almost got it, almost got it."  In A New Hope, Red Leader says something similar as he approaches the target on the Death Star:  "Almost there" [once at 1:52:17 and again at 1:52:29].

13:28 - Commander Sato (once the command ship is free from the tractor beam):  "Get us out of here, now!"  Han also says this in A New Hope:  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

16:08 - Ezra (referring to the lothcat he's chasing): "Fast little fuzzball."  Han uses the same moniker in The Empire Strikes Back when he tells Chewbacca, "Laugh it up, fuzzball" [17:26].

17:16 - Ezra:  "Something familiar about this."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke makes a similar comment about Dagobah:  "There's something familiar about this place" [47:12].

17:33 - Ezra:  "X-10?  Hold your fire; we're friends."  The context is quite different, but Obi-Wan also says this to Anakin when he tries to shoot the buzz droids off Obi-Wan's starfighter in Revenge of the Sith:  "Hold your fire!  You're not helping here!" [6:03]

Rebels - S2E10 - "The Future of the Force"

1:50 - Ahsoka (to Kanan):  "What I have to say is Jedi business."  Anakin also uses this phrase in Attack of the Clones, trying to calm the club patrons after Obi-Wan cuts off Zam Wesell's arm:  "Easy.  Jedi business.  Go back to your drinks." [23:53].

6:10 - At the end of the hallway in the apartment building, there's an-other use of the hexagonal design seen in the homestead garage in Attack of the Clones and A New Hope:

10:33 - Kanan:  "How's the baby?"

Zeb:  "Quiet, for the moment."

C-3PO uses the same expression in A New Hope when Luke asks him if he and R2 are safe:  "For the moment" [1:27:03].

17:02 - This archway is based on a Ralph McQuarrie concept for Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi (the pattern on it is also seen elsewhere in the city; see the side walls in the apartment hallway in the screenshot above):

19:24 - Ahsoka (to Seventh Sister):  "You are beaten."  Vader says this to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back [1:50:02], and the framing a few seconds later in the episode is also somewhat similar to that in The Empire Strikes Back:

20:28 - Ahsoka:  "They're Force sensitive.  I've seen this before.  A Sith lord attempted the same thing back in the Clone Wars, but the Jedi order stopped him."  She's referring to the events of The Clone Wars episode "Children of the Force" (S2E3).

Rebels - S2E9 - "Stealth Strike"

0:11 - Ezra:  "Well, we're coming up on the last known position of our missing patrol."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27].

1:09 - Commander Sato:  "Send a distress signal, now!"  Vader gives the same command in A New Hope:  "Send a distress signal, and then inform the Senate that all aboard were killed!" [8:24].

2:00 - Sabine:  "If they follow Imperial procedure, the testing zone for this type of ship wouldn't be that large."  Han also mentions Imperial procedure in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Well, if they follow standard Imperial procedure, they'll dump their garbage before they go to lightspeed, and then we just float away" [1:14:53].

5:09 - Kanan (to Rex):  "We're comin' up on Ezra's last known position."  See above, 0:11.

5:15 - The basic composition of this shot is the same as one in Return of the Jedi [54:27]:

5:24 - Rex (to Imperial officer):  "Boy, are we glad to see you."  Luke says the same thing in A New Hope:  "Ben Kenobi?  Boy, am I glad to see you!" [30:35]

6:00 - Rex (to Kanan):  "Trust me; the codes are good."   Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

6:34 - Admiral Brom Titus:  "Agent Kallus, our new gravity weapon reeled in a catch of rebels whom I believe you're familiar with:  Commander Jun Sato and a young one who calls himself Jabba."  In The Empire Strikes Back, an Imperial officer also uses a fishing metaphor when he refers to some incoming rebel ships as "Our first catch of the day" [25:00].

6:53 - Kallus:  "I warn you:  do not underestimate that boy."  Warnings against underestimation occur twice in Return of the Jedi.  Luke tells Jabba, "It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers" [24:26], and later Yoda tells Luke, "Luke, do not, do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor" [43:31].  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray advises a battle droid, "These Jedi are not to be underestimated" [10:43], and in A New Hope, Vader tells Tarkin, "Don't underestimate the Force" [1:16:33].

7:48 - Kanan:  "Chopper, plug in and find Ezra and the crew."  Obi-Wan gives the same command to R2-D2 in A New Hope:  "Plug in; you should be able to interpret the entire Imperial network" [1:09:06].

8:43 - Stormtrooper (to Ezra):  "Move along, rebel."  In A New Hope, a sandtrooper says the same thing when, prompted by Obi-Wan's influence through the Force, he directs Luke into Mos Eisley:  "Move along.  Move along." [43:51].

10:26 - Rex (to Ezra):  "So what's your plan?"  In A New Hope, Han asks Luke the same thing:  "What's your plan?" [1:11:56].

12:16 - Ezra (as Chopper explains his plan):  "I'm the bait?"  As Lando explains the Imperial's trap in The Empire Strikes Back, Leia says, "And we're the bait" [1:32:58].

14:03 - Rex (after Kanan criticizes his shooting):  "Ah, this helmet!  I can't see!"  In A New Hope, Luke also complains about the visibility in stormtrooper helmets:  "I can't see a thing in this helmet!" [1:13:17].

14:10 - Still dressed as a stormtrooper, Kanan enters the cell where Commander Sato and the rest of the crew are held in order to rescue them, and although he takes his helmet off as he enters, the situation is still similar to A New Hope, where Luke, also in disguise as a stormtrooper, enters Leia's cell [1:15:57].

14:23 - Kanan (to Rex, who is still exchanging fire with stormtroopers):  "We don't have time for this.  I'll pull; you fire.

Rex:  "Ha, ha, ha, just like old times."

There are two similarities here.  In The Phantom Menace, Padmé also says, "We don't have time for this, Captain" to Panaka while exchanging fire with battle droids [1:52:54], and Biggs says almost the same thing as Rex in A New Hope:  "It'll be like old times, Luke" [1:43:34].

14:51 - Kanan (referring to stormtroopers):  "There's too many of them!"

Rex:  "Ah, I'm too old for all this running."

A rebel pilot says the same thing in Return of the Jedi (referring to TIE fighters):  "There's too many of them" [1:35:13].

In A New Hope, Obi-Wan tells Luke, "I'm getting too old for this sort of thing" [36:06].

15:23 - Imperial officer:  "Cell block AA24 is compromised."  In A New Hope, C-3PO announces that Princess Leia is in "Level 5, detention block AA23" [1:10:50].

Rebels - S2E8 - "Blood Sisters"

3:34 - Sabine (to Ketsu):  "I saw your mark, old friend."  The phrase "old friend" is also used in Attack of the Clones (where Palpatine suggests "an old friend, like Master Kenobi" to protect Padmé [6:34] and Count Dooku calls Mace Windu "my old Jedi friend" [1:50:24] and just "old friend" [1:56:05]), in Revenge of the Sith (where Obi-Wan says, "Goodbye, old friend" to Anakin as he leaves for Utapau [51:13] and Yoda refers to Qui-Gon as "an old friend" [2:09:56]), in A New Hope (where Leia sarcastically says, "We, uh, ran into some old friends" when Han asks her and Luke where they've been [1:31:33]), in The Empire Strikes Back (where Yoda says that through the Force, Luke will see "Old friends long gone" [1:17:05]), and in Return of the Jedi (where Luke says, "I have a promise to keep to an old friend" [37:37] and Han calls C-3PO "an old friend of mine" [1:11:53]).

4:08 - Sabine (about breaking out of the Imperial academy):  "That was a long time ago."  Han uses the same expression in The Empire Strikes Back, after Chewbacca makes a comment that's evidently about something Han did to Lando in the past:  "Well, that was a long time ago; I'm sure he's forgotten about that" [1:18:44].  The phrase "A long time ago" is also shown at the beginning of each of the movies.

6:49 - Stormtrooper (as a fight breaks out with Ketsu):  "What the?"  In Attack of the Clones, an alien on Coruscant makes this same exclamation as he sees Obi-Wan flying through traffic while hanging from a droid [15:08]; Han Solo says it in A New Hope after emerging from hyperspace into a meteor shower [1:03:15]; and in Return of the Jedi, a scout trooper says this after being hit by Wicket [1:05:38].

7:20 - Stormtrooper (as Ketsu flies away):  "Bounty hunting scum."  Insults involving scum also appear in Revenge of the Sith (General Grievous calls Anakin "Jedi scum" [19:12]), The Empire Strikes Back (Admiral Piett remarks, "Bounty hunters!?  We don't need their scum." [1:05:52]), and Return of the Jedi (an Imperial officer says, "You rebel scum" [1:33:51]).

8:20 - Sabine (as Ketsu fires on the ship):  "Too late!"  In Return of the Jedi, an Imperial officer also shouts, "Too late!" [1:59:03] after Admiral Piett orders, "Intensify forward firepower!" to destroy an A-wing on a collision course with the Super Star Destroyer.

9:53 - Sabine (as Chopper lands on Ketsu's ship):  "I don't believe it."  Luke also says, "I don't, I don't believe it" in The Empire Strikes Back, after Yoda uses the Force to get his X-wing out of the swamp [1:13:10].

10:46 - Ketsu (as she's about to fire on Sabine):  "I really wish it hadn't come to this, old friend."  See above, 3:34.

11:01 - Sabine (to Ketsu):  "So long, old friend."  See above, 3:34.

13:00 - Ketsu (to Sabine, referring to Chopper):  "And this astromech, not very smart sticking your neck out for it."  C-3PO uses the same expression, also referring to an astromech, in A New Hope; he tells R2-D2, "Now don't you forget this.  Why I should stick my neck out for you is quite beyond my capacity." [19:30]

16:16 - Sabine (to the Imperial officer):  "It is looking pretty bad over here.  I'd keep my distance if I were you."  Han gives Chewbacca a similar suggestion in Return of the Jedi:  "Keep your distance, though, Chewie, but don't look like you're tryin' to keep your distance" [55:12].

17:50 - Ketsu (to Chopper):  "Get us out of here."  In A New Hope, Han also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

Rebels - S2E7 - "Wings of the Master"

4:41 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "Now strap in; we gotta pick up the last of the supplies."  Han Solo uses this same expression in A New Hope:  "Go strap yourselves in; I'm gonna make the jump to lightspeed" [56:46].

6:01 - Hera (to Zeb, after he points out a ship that crashed into a rock):  "That was your imagination!"  Han says similar things to Luke in A New Hope ("That's your imagination" [1:19:49]) and Return of the Jedi ("It's your imagination, kid." [55:51]).

9:35 - Imperial commander (to Kallus):  "What of the rebel fleet?"  There are similarly constructed questions in Revenge of the Sith (Obi-Wan asks Yoda, "And what of the boy?" [2:09:21]), A New Hope (General Tagge asks Tarkin, "And what of the rebellion?" [37:42]) and Return of the Jedi (Vader asks Palpatine, "What of the reports of the rebel fleet massing near Sullust?" [53:57]).

12:07 - Quarrie:  "Oh, I don't fly; too dangerous."  Obi-Wan makes a similar comment as Luke rushes back to the farm in A New Hope:  "It's too dangerous!" [39:52].

19:00 - Hera:  "Steady, steady."  In The Phantom Menace, Jar Jar also says this to the Gungan soldiers [1:48:30].

19:16 - Kallus (after Hera destroys the Imperial cruiser):  "That's impossible."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke also says, "That's impossible" [1:51:21].

19:34 - Zeb (about the B-wing):  "Maybe it's not such a hunk of junk after all."  Luke similarly describes the Millennium Falcon when he first sees it in A New Hope: "What a piece of junk!" [54:37].

Rebels - S2E6 - "Brothers of the Broken Horn"

4:54 - Hondo (to Ezra):  "Well, hello there!"  "Hello, there" is also Obi-Wan's greeting to General Grievous in Revenge of the Sith [57:30] and to R2-D2 in A New Hope [30:07].

6:31 - An Imperial light cruiser passes overhead, similar to the Star Destroyer at the beginning of A New Hope:

12:21 - Azmorigan:  "Die, you pirate scum!"  C-3PO (with his head on the body of a battle droid) has a similar line in Attack of the Clones:  "Die, Jedi dogs!" [1:53:27].  Insults involving scum also appear in Revenge of the Sith (General Grievous calls Anakin "Jedi scum" [19:12]), The Empire Strikes Back (Admiral Piett remarks, "Bounty hunters!?  We don't need their scum." [1:05:52]), and Return of the Jedi (an Imperial officer says, "You rebel scum" [1:33:51]).

12:28 - Hondo (to Ezra):  "What's the plan?"   In A New Hope, Han asks Luke almost the same thing:  "What's your plan?" [1:11:56]

Rebels - S2E5 - "Always Two There Are"

The title is taken from Yoda's comment in The Phantom Menace (talking to Mace Windu, referring to the Sith):  "Always two there are, no more, no less, a master and an apprentice" [2:07:59].

0:31 - Zeb (to Rex, about their Dejarik game):  "Maybe I let you win, old guy."  This may be intended as a reference to what C-3PO tells R2-D2 while he's playing Dejarik with Chewbacca in A New Hope:  "I suggest a new strategy, R2:  let the Wookiee win" [1:00:28].

5:27 - Imperial officer:  "Agent Kallus, I may have something.  A power surge at a decomissioned medical station in sector eleven.  Could be rebels."

Kallus:  "Could be anything, a malfunction or even scavengers."

Fifth Brother:  "No, I sense those we seek."

This conversation is similar to one in The Empire Strikes Back [20:29]:

Captain Piett:  "Admiral?"

Admiral Ozzel:  "Yes, Captain?"

Piett:  "I think we've got something, sir.  The report is only a fragment from a probe droid in the Hoth system, but it's the best lead we've had."

Ozzel:  "We have thousands of probe droids searching the galaxy.  I want proof, not leads!"

Piett:  "The visuals indicate life readings."

Ozzel:  "It could mean anything.  If we followed up every lead, we could-"

Piett:  "But, sir, the Hoth system is supposed to be devoid of human lifeforms."

Darth Vader:  "You found something?"

Piett:  "Yes, my lord."

Vader (upon seeing the rebels' shield generator):  "That's it; the rebels are there."

Ozzel:  "My lord, there are so many uncharted settlements.  It could be smugglers; it could be-"

Vader:  "That is the system, and I'm sure Skywalker is with them.  Set your course for the Hoth system."

6:59 - Zeb (after Ezra asserts that he'll find the medical supplies first):  "Cocky kid!"  This seems meant to resemble Han's comment to Luke in A New Hope, after he destroys one of the Empire's sentry ships:  "Great, kid!  Don't get cocky." [1:35:27].

10:21 - Ezra (upon running into the Fifth Brother):  "Not who we're looking for."  Obi-Wan, influencing a stormtrooper through the Force, uses the same expression in A New Hope:  "These aren't the droids you're looking for" [43:40]

11:13 - Seventh Sister (to the Fifth Brother):  "We will use the boy as bait to draw in the others."  Obi-Wan uses the same expression in Attack of the Clones (speaking to Anakin, referring to Padmé):  "You're using her as bait" [11:22].

16:01 & 16:05 - Zeb (to Chopper):  "I need your help."  Queen Amidala says the same thing to Jar Jar in The Phantom Menace ("I need your help" [1:37:55]); Obi-Wan to Padmé in Revenge of the Sith ("Padmé, I need your help" [1:38:44]); and Obi-Wan to Luke in A New Hope ("I need your help, Luke.  She [Leia] needs your help." [36:03]).

21:14 - Kanan:  "We really have no idea what we're up against."  Luke uses the same expression shortly before the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope when he tells Han, "You know what's about to happen, what they're up against" [1:41:48].

Rebels - S2E4 - "Relics of the Old Republic"

0:41 - Zeb (to Rex, after Ezra asks if he's sure he won't go with them):  "Yeah, you're not bad in a fight."  Han similarly describes Luke in A New Hope:  "Pretty good in a fight" [1:41:43].

1:18 - The framing of this shot is similar to one near the beginning of A New Hope [2:14], although The Ghost is just idling and facing the opposite direction as the Tantive IV:

1:36 - Hera (to the rebels):  "Good luck down there."  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].

4:19 - Sabine (after Gregor says the clones haven't been shot at in years):  "Yeah?  Well, it happens to us every day."  There's some similarity here to what Indiana Jones says in The Last Crusade after his father tells him that someone trying to kill him is a new experience for him:  "Happens to me all the time" [1:18:43].

5:18 - Agent Kallus (to Admiral Konstatine):  "Prepare for ground assault."  General Rieekan also says this in The Empire Strikes Back [22:42].

6:48 - Gregor (about the AT-ATs):  "Would you look at the size of those things!"  Wedge makes almost the same comment about the Death Star in A New Hope:  "Look at the size of that thing!" [1:45:53]

7:10 - Rex (after Kanan criticizes him for running from the AT-ATs):  "Well, if you've got a better idea, sir, now's the time."  Obi-Wan says something similar while speaking to Tion Medon in Revenge of the Sith:  "If you have warriors, now is the time" [55:19].

7:41 - Kallus (to the AT-AT pilot):  "Fire at will."  Palpatine gives the same command in Return of the Jedi:  "Fire at will, commander" [1:14:37].

9:12 - Sabine (referring to the AT-ATs):  "Those things are practically impervious to blasters, but they have one weak point in their armor:  the neck."

Gregor:  "One well-placed shot from the main gun should destroy it."

There are two similarities here.  In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke says of the AT-ATs, "That armor's too strong for blasters" [27:20].

In A New Hope, General Dodonna says of the Death Star, "A small, one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense" [1:39:43].

9:50 - Zeb:  "I don't know how we're supposed to shoot something we can't see."  There's some connection here to Luke's comment in A New Hope:  "With the blast shield down, I can't even see; how'm I supposed to fight?" [1:01:41]

14:49 - Rex (to Ezra):  "Great shot, kid!"  Han says the same thing to Luke at the end of A New Hope:  "Great shot, kid!  That was one in a million!"  [1:57:20].

16:48 - Kallus:  "Intensify forward firepower!"  Admiral Piett says the same thing in Return of the Jedi [1:59:00].

Rebels - S2E3 - "The Lost Commanders"

1:13 - Chopper makes a noise that seems to be "I've got a bad feeling about this."

5:26 - Rex (to the rebels):  "Sorry about the, um, weapons malfunction."  This is the same excuse Han gives to an Imperial officer in A New Hope:  "Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction" [1:15:21].

11:16 - Zeb (after Gregor says they're coming up on a hot spot):  "Your hot spot looks like everywhere else on this desolate rock."  Luke uses a similar expression in A New Hope; after C-3PO asks if there's anything he can do to help, he replies, "Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock" [19:58].

12:35 - The joopa makes the same sound as the sarlacc in Return of the Jedi.

17:03 - Hera (to Kanan):  "Ahsoka's always full of surprises."  Luke uses the same expression during his duel with Vader in The Empire Strikes Back:  "You'll find I'm full of surprises" [1:43:49].
