Rebels - S1E4 - "Rise of the Old Masters"

0:23 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "Do or do not; there is no try."  Yoda says this to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back [1:09:29].  In this episode, Kanan acknowledges the saying's provinance:  "Actually, that one always confused me, too, but Master Yoda sure used to say it a lot."

2:42 - Ezra (as Kanan pulls him through the air using the Force):  "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].

7:29 - Hera (to the rest of the rebels):  "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].

8:22 - Kanan (to Ezra, after he loudly runs into the door):  "You're lucky every stormtrooper in the prison doesn't know we're here."  Luke makes a similar complaint to Han Solo in A New Hope:  "You know, between his [Chewbacca's] howling and your blasting everything in sight, it's a wonder the whole station doesn't know we're here" [1:08:56].

13:30 - Ezra (on his comlink):  "Spector Three, come in; it's 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].

15:32 - Stormtrooper (to other stormtroopers):  "Hold your fire!"  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]

20:23 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "What're 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].
