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].
