Rebels - S1E14 - "Fire Across the Galaxy"

8:47 - Stormtrooper (to the rebels):  "Drop your weapons!  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].

9:07 - Ezra (after he uses his lightsaber to melt the blast doors together):  "Kanan is down that hall; I just cut off our only way to get to him."  Leia makes a similar comment to Han in A New Hope:  "Looks like you managed to cut off our only escape route" [1:17:32].

14:51 - The framing is different, but Kanan holds his and Ezra's lightsabers to the Inquisitor in the same way that Anakin does to Dooku in Revenge of the Sith [14:08]:



17:02 - Zeb (referring to Chopper):  "I can't believe that bucket of bolts abandoned us."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Leia also uses this phrase, although she's referring to the Millennium Falcon:  "This bucket of bolts is never gonna get us past that blockade" [35:09].
