Rebels - S4E5 - "The Occupation"

0:08 - Hera:  "We're coming up on Yavin IV.  Sabine, transmit the clearance codes."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27], and in Return of the Jedi, an Imperial officer gives the same command:  "Shuttle Tydirium, transmit the clearance code for shield passage" [54:50].

2:46 - Ezra (mostly to Hera):  "Trust me; Vizago'll get us through the Empire's blockade."  Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

5:18 - Imperial offcer to the Broken Horn:  "Transmit clearance codes."  See above, 0:08.

6:53 - Stormtrooper (to Vizago):  "Hands up!"  A stormtrooper also says, "Hands up!" to Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:07].  In The Phantom Menace, a battle droid says, "Hands up!" to Jar Jar and Captain Tarpals [2:00:19], and in Revenge of the Sith, one says "Hands up, Jedi!" to Anakin [10:22].

8:25 - Stormtrooper (to some Lothal citizens):  "You're out past curfew.  Let's see some identification."  A sandtrooper makes nearly the same request of Luke in A New Hope:  "Let me see your identification" [43:32].

8:38 - Sabine (to Ezra, before the enter Old Jho's):  "You sure about this?"  Padmé asks Qui-Gon the same question in The Phantom Menace, referring to betting on Anakin in the podrace:  "Are you sure about this?" [44:21].

9:47 - Baron Valen Rudor (to Ezra, after he identifies a hologram of him):  "Your eyes do not deceive you, young man."  Obi-Wan uses this same expression in A New Hope when he tells Luke, "Your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them" [1:01:45].

11:51 - Hera (to Kanan):  "We better get moving."  After escaping the Death Star trash compactor in A New Hope, Luke says nearly the same thing:  "Well, let's get movin'" [1:25:44].

13:47 - Sabine: "We've been cut off!"  Speaking to C-3PO via comlink, Luke also says, "We've been cut off!" in A New Hope [1:17:42].

15:53 - Zeb:  "It's a probe.  Blast it!"  Luke also yells this to Han in A New Hope (referring to the dianoga in the trash compactor):  "Blast it, will you!?" [1:20:38]

---&---

In multiple shots in Old Jho's, there's yet an-other instance of the hexagonal pattern seen in the homestead garage in Attack of the Clones and A New Hope:

Rebels - S4E4 - "In the Name of the Rebellion, Part II"

5:37 - Stormtrooper (to Chopper):  "Move along, droid!"  In A New Hope, a sandtrooper says nearly 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].

14:36 - Captain Slavin (to an Imperial officer):  "Prepare a boarding party."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Vader gives the same instruction to Admiral Piett:  "Prepare the boarding party, and set your weapons for stun" [1:57:09].

15:59 - Stormtrooper (to the Rebels):  "Hands up!"  A stormtrooper also says, "Hands up!" to Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:07].  In The Phantom Menace, a battle droid says, "Hands up!" to Jar Jar and Captain Tarpals [2:00:19], and in Revenge of the Sith, one says "Hands up, Jedi!" to Anakin [10:22].

17:21 - Ezra (to Chopper):  "Don't worry about the guards; just meet us there."  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

17:55 - Stormtrooper (to Chopper):  "Hey, where do you think you're going?"  In A New Hope, Luke also asks R2 this after he goes off to find Obi-Wan:  "Hey, whoa, just where do you think you're going?" [28:12]

19:31 - As the Imperial shuttle that the Rebels stole flies past the bridge, Slavin is standing in the same pose as Vader is on his Star Destroyer in The Empire Strikes Back [20:27]:

Rebels - S4E3 - "In the Name of the Rebellion, Part I"

0:06 - Sabine (to Kanan and Ezra):  "We're coming up on Yavin IV."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27].

0:12 - Kanan (about the Rebel cell on Yavin IV):  "According to Hera, it's more well-equipped than we were."  General Tagge uses the same description in A New Hope:  "The rebel alliance is too well-equipped" [37:02].

2:31 - Wedge (to Hera):  "Captain, are you alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Anakin asks Qui-Gon, "Are you alright?" [1:17:31].  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].  Padmé also asks Anakin, "Are you alright?" [1:27:59].  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].  Luke also asks Han, "Are you alright?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:31].

4:18 - General Dodonna (in a briefing):  "Well, the question is:  what course of action do we take?"  Queen Amidala uses the phrase "course of action" in The Phantom Menace:  "I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war" [9:51].

10:22 - Kanan (to Hera):  "You alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Padmé asks Anakin this [1:19:06], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this twice, once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].

10:42 - Kanan (to Hera):  "That's Gerrera talking, not you."  Obi-Wan makes a similar distinction in A New Hope, when he tells Luke, "That's your uncle talking" [36:26].

10:55 - Hera:  "Coming up on Jalindi."  See above, 0:06.

11:47 - Zeb (about Sabine, Ezra, and Chopper):  "I don't like this; they're dropping too fast."  This is also Leia's reaction after the Millennium Falcon lands in Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back:  "I don't like this" [1:19:58].

14:38 - Commander Titus (to Ezra, impersonating him):  "Who is this?"  An Imperial officer also asks Han, "Who is this?" in A New Hope, while Han is trying to impersonate an Imperial officer [1:15:40].

21:08 - Saw (to Edrio Two Tubes):  "Get us out of here."  In A New Hope, Han also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

Rebels - S4E2 - "Heroes of Mandalore, Part II"

0:30 - Sabine (about the Empire's weapon that targets Mandalorian armor):  "This is all my fault."  C-3PO similarly blames himself in A New Hope, when he thinks that Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca are dying in the trash compactor:  "It's all my fault!" [1:24:42]  Later, when he's tangled in wires in the Millennium Falcon, he also blames R2-D2 with "This is all your fault" [1:36:11].

2:19 - Ursa Wren (to Ezra, after they're thrown by an explosion):  "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].  Padmé also asks Anakin, "Are you alright?" [1:27:59].  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].  Luke also asks Han, "Are you alright?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:31].

5:03 - Tiber Saxon (to Thrawn):  "The weapon is fully operational, as promised, Grand Admiral."  In Return of the Jedi, Palpatine uses the same words to describe the Death Star when he tells Luke, "Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!" [1:41:27]

10:37 - Ursa (accepting a less combative role in Sabine's plan):  "So be it."  Palpatine uses this same expression in Return of the Jedi, after Luke refuses to turn to the dark side:  "So be it, Jedi" [1:54:26].

14:09 - Tiber (dismissing Captain Hark's arguments):  "I am the Empire!"  Palpatine makes a similar claim to Mace Windu in Revenge of the Sith:  "I am the Senate!" [1:11:13]

15:00 - Ezra (to Kanan, about Sabine):  "She's in trouble."  Han says the similar "We're in trouble" after the Millennium Falcon fails to jump to hyperspace in The Empire Strikes Back [37:54].

17:49 - Stormtrooper (to Kanan):  "Hands up!"  A stormtrooper also says, "Hands up!" to Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:07].  In The Phantom Menace, a battle droid says, "Hands up!" to Jar Jar and Captain Tarpals [2:00:19], and in Revenge of the Sith, one says "Hands up, Jedi!" to Anakin [10:22].

20:02 - Bo-Katan:  "This is only the beginning."  During his duel with Yoda in Attack of the Clones, Dooku says nearly the same thing:  "This is just the beginning" [2:09:49].

Rebels - S4E1 - "Heroes of Mandalore, Part I"

1:44 - Chopper says something that sounds like "Here we go again," which is what C-3PO says as the stolen Imperial shuttle launches in Return of the Jedi [53:10].

3:09 - Gar Saxon (referring to Sabine):  "You may do away with her allies, Commander, but I want her alive."  This is also part of Vader's orders 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]).

4:34 - Bo-Katan (to Ezra, referring to Sabine):  "Don't just stand there; protect her!"  While in the trash compactor in A New Hope, Leia gives the same command:  "Don't just stand there; try and brace it with something!" [1:21:37]

10:04 - Ursa Wren:  "Sabine, we've engaged Tiber Saxon's Imperial dogs."  C-3PO (with his head on the body of a battle droid) uses a similar insult in Attack of the Clones:  "Die, Jedi dogs!" [1:53:27].

14:21 - Kanan (to Sabine in the midst of the rescue attempt):  "How we doin'?"  Han also asks Luke, "How we doin'?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:35].

Rebels - S3E22 - "Zero Hour, Part II"

1:09 - Thrawn's posture (hands behind his back) and position (on the bridge of a Star Destroyer) mirror Vader's in The Empire Strikes Back [20:27]:

1:28 - Thrawn (to an officer):  "Commence the attack."  Admiral Ackbar has a similar line in Return of the Jedi:  "Commence attack on the Death Star's main reactor!" [1:54:46]

15:17 - Thrawn (to his forces):  "Concentrate fire on the center of the storm!"  In Attack of the Clones, Yoda directs the clone troopers to "Concentrate all your fire on the nearest starship" [2:02:03], and in Return of the Jedi, Admiral Ackbar gives a similar command:  "Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer" [1:58:43].

16:29 - Ezra:  "Chopper, get us outta here."  In A New Hope, Han also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

Rebels - S3E21 - "Zero Hour, Part I"

1:35 - Tarkin (after Thrawn explains that the Rebels "are about to launch a major military strike against the Empire"):  "They wouldn't dare!"  In The Phantom Menace, Sio Bibble says the same thing after Qui-Gon tells Amidala that the Trade Federation will kill her if she stays on Naboo [23:36].

2:35 - Tarkin:  "If we are to crush this rebellion, we must make examples of its leaders."

Thrawn:  "As you wish, Governor Tarkin."

There are two echoes here.  Tarkin also uses this phrase in A New Hope when he says, "Now, Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the rebel fortress by the time this station is operational.  We will then crush the rebellion with one swift strike" [38:52], and 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].

9:37 - Thrawn (to the Rebels):  "There is no escape."  Vader says this to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back [1:50:25], and Palpatine says this to Luke in Return of the Jedi [1:44:31].

11:10 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "Good luck, kid."  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].

12:38 - Konstantine (to Thrawn):  "As you wish."  See above, 2:35.

13:35 - Green squadron 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].

14:11 - Kanan:  "Bendu, we need your help."  The same phrase appears in The Phantom Menace (Queen Amidala tells Jar Jar, "I need your help" [1:37:55]), Revenge of the Sith (Obi-Wan says, "Padmé, I need your help" [1:38:44]); and A New Hope (Obi-Wan says, "I need your help, Luke.  She [Leia] needs your help." [36:03]).

16:48 - Hera:  "Stay sharp, Ezra; we'll find you that opening."  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].

18:28 - Konstantine:  "Take evasive action!"  In The Empire Strikes Back, an Imperial officer also says, "Take evasive action!" [37:19]

18:53 - Imperial officer (to Thrawn):  "Sir, one Rebel ship escaped the blockade."  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray's confession to Darth Sidious has the same basic structure:  "One Naboo cruiser got past the blockade" [27:22].

20:45 - Mon Mothma:  "I wish I could help you, Commander Bridger, but I can't.  Doing so would play into Thrawn's hands; he'd wipe out all we've worked to build."  Queen Amidala uses nearly the same expression in The Phantom Menace when she tells Boss Nass that "the Trade Federation has destroyed all that we have worked so hard to build" [1:41:02].

21:03 - Mon Mothma (to Ezra):  "I promise you we will do our best to negotiate fair treatment for the prisoners."  In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan tells Anakin, "You will be a Jedi; I promise" [2:07:43], and in Revenge of the Sith, Padmé tells Anakin, "I'm not gonna die in childbirth, Ani; I promise you," and he replies, "No, I promise you" [53:46].  Later, Anakin also tells her, "Things will be different; I promise" [1:29:13].

Rebels - S3E20 - "Twin Suns"

3:02 - Obi-Wan (in holocron recording):  "A new hope will emerge.  A new hope-"  I noted this previously (at the end of the second part of "Spark of Rebellion"), and it's pretty obvious, but I'll note it again:  "A new hope" is the subtitle of Episode IV.

8:52 - Ezra:  "Chop, this is a trap!"  Admiral Ackbar says, "It's a trap!" in Return of the Jedi [1:35:03], and Leia says it twice in The Empire Strikes Back [1:39:50].

11:39 - Chopper deliberates between going to find a settlement or following Ezra across the desert, during which his dome rotates between his two options, which is similar to what R2-D2 does in A New Hope, evidently trying to decide whether to go his own way or stay with C-3PO [10:07].

12:09 - Ezra (walking through a sandstorm):  "Don't worry, Chop!  It can't be much farther!"  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

Rebels - S3E19 - "Double Agent Droid"

0:05 - Wedge:  "Don't worry, Phoenix Leader; we'll be back with those codes before you know it."  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

0:17 - Hera (mostly to Zeb):  "Let's cut the chatter; we've got a job to do."  Red Leader uses this same expression in A New Hope:  "Cut the chatter, Red Two" [1:45:55].

2:50 - AP-5 (arguing with Chopper):  "No, you follow my lead" and 3:10 "I told you to follow my lead."  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].

7:40 - Imperial Technician (to the Controller, after explaining that AP-5 stole clearance codes for Lothal):  "There is a danger."  An Imperial officer also says this to Tarkin in A New Hope:  "We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger" [1:51:03].

14:46 - Hera:  "Next time, AP, we'll listen to you; I promise."  In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan tells Anakin, "You will be a Jedi; I promise" [2:07:43], and in Revenge of the Sith, Padmé tells Anakin, "I'm not gonna die in childbirth, Ani; I promise you," and he replies, "No, I promise you" [53:46].  Later, Anakin also tells her, "Things will be different; I promise" [1:29:13].

19:05 - Hera:  "Hey, you, Imperial sleemo, keep your hands off my droid!"  Anakin also uses the Huttese insult sleemo in The Phantom Menace; according to the subtitles, after Sebulba tells him, "You won't walk away from this one, you slave scum," he replies, "Don't count on it, slime ball" [57:26].

Rebels - S3E18 - "Secret Cargo"

4:01 - Hera (after Ezra's distracted by ships exiting hyperspace):  "Nevermind, stay on target!"  One of the Gold Squadron pilot also says, "Stay on target" in A New Hope [1:50:43].

4:37 - Erskin Semaj:  "Captain Syndulla, I presume?"  Perhaps just coincidentally, this has the same structure as Henry Stanley's famous greeting "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"

11:06 - Thrawn (to Governor Pryce):  "Take Admiral Konstantine to the far side of the nebula and wait there.  When our fighters flush the Rebels out into the open, you'll be in position to capture Senator Mon Mothma alive.  She could be our key to locating the true Rebel fleet."

Pryce:  "As you wish, Grand Admiral."

There are two echoes to note here:  Palpatine's instructions to Vader in Return of the Jedi begin in a similar way:  "Send the fleet to the far side of Endor; there it will stay until called for" [53:44], and 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].

14:24 - Hera (to Gold Leader):  "Put all power in your deflector screens."  Gold Leader himself says something similar as the Y-wings begin their run on the Death Star in A New Hope:  "Switch all power to front deflector screen.  Switch all power to front deflector screen." [1:49:42]

17:58 - Zeb:  "Hera, what's the plan!?"

Hera:  "We're not gonna be able to break free.  I'm sorry, Senator; I'm going to have to shut her down."

There are two echoes, here, too.  In A New Hope, Han asks Luke almost the same thing:  "What's your plan?" [1:11:56].  Earlier, when the Millennium Falcon is caught in a tractor beam, Han has the same response:  "There's nothing I can do about it, kid; I'm full power.  I'm gonna have to shut down." [1:04:57]

18:34 - Hera (to Ezra):  "We're caught in a tractor beam.  Can you break us free?"  Han gives the same explanation in A New Hope:  "We're caught in a tractor beam; it's pullin' us in" [1:04:53].

19:52 - Erskin:  "We're coming up on the rendezvous point."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27].

Rebels - S3E17 - "Through Imperial Eyes"

1:25 - Ezra (in disguise, to Kallus):  "What are you looking at, Imperial scum?"  Insults involving scum also appear in The Phantom Menace (before the podrace, Sebulba tells Anakin in Huttese, "You won't walk away from this one, you slave scum" [57:20]), 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]).

2:06 - Kallus (to a pair of stormtroopers):  "Leave us.  I'll interrogate him myself."  Palpatine says this twice in the movies:  "Leave us" to his entourage at the opera in Revenge of the Sith [43:44] and "Guards, leave us" to the Imperial guards in Return of the Jedi [1:30:55].

5:04 - Rex (after Chopper says he's on Thrawn's Star Destroyer):  "What in blazes are you doing there!?"  Obi-Wan says nearly the same thing in Attack of the Clones:  "What in the blazes is he [Anakin] doing there [on Tatooine]?" [1:22:27].

7:43 - Thrawn:  "A traitor in our ranks is feeding the Rebels information.  That is the only logical explanation for their success and our failure."  Leia uses nearly the same expression in A New Hope, after telling Han that the Imperials let them go:  "It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape" [1:36:44].

16:30 - Rex (as he and Kanan drop out of hyperspace to land on Thrawn's Star Destroyer):  "Well, here goes nothin'."  Lando also says, "Here's goes nothing" as he pilots the Millennium Falcon into the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi [1:57:45].

16:34 - The framing here is roughly the same as that in a shot in Return of the Jedi [54:27], just with the Star Destroyer facing the opposite direction:

(The same is also done with Kanan and Rex in S2E9 "Stealth Strike.")

18:46 - Lyste (after Kallus accuses him of being the Rebel spy):  "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 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].

18:48 - Yularen (to stormtroopers, referring to Lyste):  "Take him away!"  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray commands, "Take him away," to a pair of battle droids, referring to Sio Bibble [1:18:19], and in Attack of the Clone, Jango Fett says, "Take him away" to battle droids, referring to Anakin [1:42:30].

19:59 - Thrawn (after Yularen says that "things have fallen into place a little too perfectly"):  "I agree."  In Revenge of the Sith, Yoda also says, "I agree" (once to Ki-Adi-Mundi's suggestion that it's Obi-Wan who should confront Grievous [49:09] and once to Obi-Wan's suggestion to turn off the retreat message coming from the Jedi temple [1:30:50]), and Anakin says it after Palpatine explains that the Jedi would kill the two of them and the senators [1:17:36].

Rebels - S3E16 - "Legacy of Mandalore"

3:54 - Sabine (to Tristan):  "I'll explain everything; I promise."  In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan tells Anakin, "You will be a Jedi; I promise" [2:07:43], and in Revenge of the Sith, Padmé tells Anakin, "I'm not gonna die in childbirth, Ani; I promise you," and he replies, "No, I promise you" [53:46].  Later, Anakin also tells her, "Things will be different; I promise" [1:29:13].

4:30 - Tristan:  "You shouldn't have come back, Sabine."  Vader also says this to Obi-Wan in A New Hope:  "You should not have come back" [1:31:00].

10:15 - Sabine (to her mother):  "Look, the Rebels are planning something, and we need your help."  The same phrase appears in The Phantom Menace (Queen Amidala tells Jar Jar, "I need your help" [1:37:55]), Revenge of the Sith (Obi-Wan says, "Padmé, I need your help" [1:38:44]); and A New Hope (Obi-Wan says, "I need your help, Luke.  She [Leia] needs your help." [36:03]).

14:55 - Ursa (after Gar Saxon says she "consorted with known traitors"):  "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 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].
