Rebels - S4E10 - "Jedi Night"
19:40 - Hera (to Kanan): "I love you." Padmé says this to Anakin in Revenge of the Sith [1:46:02]; Leia says it to Han in The Empire Strikes Back [1:35:54]; and Han says it to Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:03].

S4E10 Jedi Night
Tuesday, July 15, 2025
Rebels - S4E9 - "Rebel Assault"
0:24 - The general composition of this shot matches a shot near the end of A New Hope [1:45:14]:
8:13 - Ruhk (after Thrawn tells him to capture the Rebel pilots alive if possible): "It will be done, Grand Admiral." The similar line "It will be done, my lord" appears three times in Revenge of the Sith, all directed to Sidious/Palpatine: General Grievous agrees to move the Separatist leaders to Mustafar [28:43] and a clone pilot and Commander Gree acknowledge Order 66 [1:22:18 and 1:23:01, respectively].
0:45 - Hera: "Lock S-foils in attack position." Red Leader gives the same instruction in A New Hope ("Lock S-foils in attack position" [1:45:38]), and so does Wedge in Return of the Jedi ("Lock S-foils in attack positions" [1:34:20]).
6:32 - Once again, Thrawn is standing in the same position and in the same posture as Vader in The Empire Strikes Back [20:27]:
8:35 - Ezra (referring to Hera): "We will find her, Kanan; 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].
11:13 - Governor Pryce (referring to one of the Rebel pilots): "Take him away for interrogation." 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].
11:19 - Stormtrooper: "Governor Pryce, found the flight leader's ship in the eastern district, but there's no sign of the pilot or astromech." Luke also uses this expression during the Battle of Yavin at the end of A New Hope; after Red Ten asks Luke if he sees any fighters, Luke replies, "No sign of any- wait, comin' in point three five" [1:51:59].
16:31 - Kanan (to the Lothwolf): "I don't have time for this!" In The Phantom Menace, Padmé says, "We don't have time for this, Captain" to Panaka while exchanging fire with battle droids [1:52:54].
21:02 - Kanan: "It's alright, Mart. There's nothing you could have done." In A New Hope, Obi-Wan tells Luke the same thing after he finds his aunt and uncle dead: "There's nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there" [42:02].

S4E9 Rebel Assault
Tuesday, July 8, 2025
Rebels - S4E8 - "Crawler Commandeers"
1:59 - General Dodonna: "Based upon data provided by Captain Syndulla, the TIE Defender Elite possesses speed, weapons, and shields superior to any fighter in our fleet." There's some similarity between this and what he says about the Death Star during the briefing in A New Hope: "An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station" [1:40:01].
4:44 - Ezra: "Hello there!"
Captain Seevor: "Pirate scum!"
"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], and 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]).
6:13 - Mining Guild HQ: "Is this operator 94-34?" The number 94 also appears in A New Hope; after making an agreement with Obi-Wan, Han tells him, "We'll leave as soon as you're ready. Docking bay 94." [49:17].
12:46 - Ezra (upon finding Vizago): "Vizago? 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].
14:14 - Vizago (posing as the captain of the crawler): "This is the captain, uh, 93-94." See above, 6:13.
14:25 - Vizago: "Eh, we're having a maintenance issue and, uh, lost our security codes, uh, but everything is under control." In Revenge of the Sith, a clone trooper tells Senator Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control" [1:24:35], and in A New Hope, Han makes the same claim twice, once to an Imperial officer ("Uh, everything's under control, situation normal" [1:15:18]) and once to Leia ("I had everything under control till you led us down here" [1:19:37]).
15:10 - Vizago (to a stormtrooper): "I told you everything was under control." See above, 14:25.
17:12 - Captain Seevor (to the Rebels): "Patch me through to the Empire, or I will destroy this crawler, you pirate scum." See above, 4:44.
17:55 - Kanan (to the comlink to Sabine): "Ugh, I can't cut through [the refinery doors] either; they're magnetically sealed." In A New Hope, Luke makes nearly the same comment about the egress in the trash compactor: "It's magnetically sealed" [1:19:31].
21:02 - Sabine: "We're receiving a transmission." In The Phantom Menace, a Naboo crewman tells Captain Panaka nearly the same thing via comlink, "Receiving a message from home" [37:23], and in Revenge of the Sith, Captain Colton tells Senator Organa, "We're receiving a message from the Chancellor's office, sir" [1:31:44].

Rebels - S4E7 - "Kindred"
4:17 - Ezra (referring to Ruhk): "Blast it!"
Jai Kell: "I'm trying! I'm trying!"
There are two similarities to the original trilogy here. First, Luke also yells "Blast it!" to Han in A New Hope (referring to the dianoga in the trash compactor): "Blast it, will you!?" [1:20:38]. Second, Leia gives the same response to Han in the trash compactor in A New Hope [1:23:41]; Han says, "Get on top of it," and Leia replies, "I'm trying!" In Return of the Jedi, Han also says, "I'm trying" in exasperation while trying to lower a spear for Lando to grab [34:21].
7:09 - Hera (to Kanan): "Getting this TIE Defender data to the Rebellion is vital." Leia says something similar about the Death Star plans in her message to Obi-Wan in A New Hope: "I have placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit" [35:21].
9:40 - Jai (to Ezra): "Good luck."
and
9:49 - Sabine (to Hera): "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].
10:56 - Zeb: "We won't stand long against those tanks." In Return of the Jedi, Admiral Ackbar uses nearly the same expression after Lando says to engage the Star Destroyers point blank: "At that close range, we won't last long against those Star Destroyers" [1:43:58].
17:22 - Zeb: "Where in blazes are we?" Obi-Wan uses the same expression in Attack of the Clones: "What in the blazes is he [Anakin] doing there [on Tatooine]?" [1:22:27].

Rebels - S4E6 - "Flight of the Defender"
0:55 - Ezra (to Hera, via comlink): "No sign of the ship, yet." In Revenge of the Sith, a clone trooper, speaking to the Emperor and referring to Yoda, says, "There's no sign of the body, sir" [1:55:11], and Luke also uses the expression during the Battle of Yavin at the end of A New Hope; after Red Ten asks Luke if he sees any fighters, Luke replies, "No sign of any- wait, comin' in point three five" [1:51:59].
7:22 - Sabine: "I don't believe it; this thing has a navi-computer." 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].
8:51 - Sabine (to Ezra): "Don't just stand there; jump!" 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]
9:38 - Sabine flies the TIE Defender close to the tower at the Imperial landing pad, and the framing and movement match a shot in The Empire Strikes Back where Han flies the Millennium Falcon past the bridge of a Star Destroyer [1:07:39]:
11:49 - Ezra suddenly decreases the speed of the TIE Defender so that the TIE Interceptor pursuing it flies past it. Luke does the same thing with speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi [59:47].
12:24 - Ezra (to Sabine, referring to the last TIE Interceptor): "Don't worry; I'll get him." "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]).
16:35 - Governor Pryce (to Thrawn): "We've located the crash, Admiral, but there's no sign of the Rebels. I'm initiating a search. They won't escape." An Imperial officer's comment to Vader in A New Hope has the same basic structure: "We count thirty rebel ships, Lord Vader, but they're so small they're evading our turbolasers" [1:46:53]. For "no sign," see above, 0:55.
18:33 - Ezra (about the lothwolf): "I don't believe it." See above, 7:22.
20:55 - Zeb (after Sabine explains that the hyperdrive stolen from the Defender will work in the U-Wing: "Then we can come and go off this 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].

S4E6 Flight of the Defender
Tuesday, June 17, 2025
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].

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].

Tuesday, June 3, 2025
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].

[50:02], and later a clone trooper asks Padmé, "Are you alright?" [2:05:54].

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].

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].

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].

S4E2 Heroes of Mandalore Part II

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].

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].

S3E22 Zero Hour Part II
Tuesday, May 6, 2025
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].
