Rebels - S2E11 - "Legacy"

5:17 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "Stay in the moment.  Be in this place, at this time."  Although the specific words don't match, this is basically the same advice that Qui-Gon gives in Obi-Wan at the beginning of The Phantom Menace:  "Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs" [3:16].

9:47 - Kanan (to Ezra and Zeb):  "We'll take the long way around."  Padmé says almost the same thing in The Phantom Menace, after Darth Maul arrives and blocks the way:  "We'll take the long way" [1:50:30].

10:07 - Commander Sato:  "We are employing escape plan delta, Captain Syndulla."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke announces the similarly named "Attack pattern delta" [26:44].

12:56 - Sabine (as The Ghost is closing on the tractor beam emitter):  "Almost got it, almost got it."  In A New Hope, Red Leader says something similar as he approaches the target on the Death Star:  "Almost there" [once at 1:52:17 and again at 1:52:29].

13:28 - Commander Sato (once the command ship is free from the tractor beam):  "Get us out of here, now!"  Han also says this in A New Hope:  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

16:08 - Ezra (referring to the lothcat he's chasing): "Fast little fuzzball."  Han uses the same moniker in The Empire Strikes Back when he tells Chewbacca, "Laugh it up, fuzzball" [17:26].

17:16 - Ezra:  "Something familiar about this."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke makes a similar comment about Dagobah:  "There's something familiar about this place" [47:12].

17:33 - Ezra:  "X-10?  Hold your fire; we're friends."  The context is quite different, but 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]

Rebels - S2E10 - "The Future of the Force"

1:50 - Ahsoka (to Kanan):  "What I have to say is Jedi business."  Anakin also uses this phrase in Attack of the Clones, trying to calm the club patrons after Obi-Wan cuts off Zam Wesell's arm:  "Easy.  Jedi business.  Go back to your drinks." [23:53].

6:10 - At the end of the hallway in the apartment building, there's an-other use of the hexagonal design seen in the homestead garage in Attack of the Clones and A New Hope:

10:33 - Kanan:  "How's the baby?"

Zeb:  "Quiet, for the moment."

C-3PO uses the same expression in A New Hope when Luke asks him if he and R2 are safe:  "For the moment" [1:27:03].

17:02 - This archway is based on a Ralph McQuarrie concept for Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi (the pattern on it is also seen elsewhere in the city; see the side walls in the apartment hallway in the screenshot above):

19:24 - Ahsoka (to Seventh Sister):  "You are beaten."  Vader says this to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back [1:50:02], and the framing a few seconds later in the episode is also somewhat similar to that in The Empire Strikes Back:

20:28 - Ahsoka:  "They're Force sensitive.  I've seen this before.  A Sith lord attempted the same thing back in the Clone Wars, but the Jedi order stopped him."  She's referring to the events of The Clone Wars episode "Children of the Force" (S2E3).

Rebels - S2E9 - "Stealth Strike"

0:11 - Ezra:  "Well, we're coming up on the last known position of our missing patrol."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27].

1:09 - Commander Sato:  "Send a distress signal, now!"  Vader gives the same command in A New Hope:  "Send a distress signal, and then inform the Senate that all aboard were killed!" [8:24].

2:00 - Sabine:  "If they follow Imperial procedure, the testing zone for this type of ship wouldn't be that large."  Han also mentions Imperial procedure in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Well, if they follow standard Imperial procedure, they'll dump their garbage before they go to lightspeed, and then we just float away" [1:14:53].

5:09 - Kanan (to Rex):  "We're comin' up on Ezra's last known position."  See above, 0:11.

5:15 - The basic composition of this shot is the same as one in Return of the Jedi [54:27]:

5:24 - Rex (to Imperial officer):  "Boy, are we glad to see you."  Luke says the same thing in A New Hope:  "Ben Kenobi?  Boy, am I glad to see you!" [30:35]

6:00 - Rex (to Kanan):  "Trust me; the codes are good."   Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

6:34 - Admiral Brom Titus:  "Agent Kallus, our new gravity weapon reeled in a catch of rebels whom I believe you're familiar with:  Commander Jun Sato and a young one who calls himself Jabba."  In The Empire Strikes Back, an Imperial officer also uses a fishing metaphor when he refers to some incoming rebel ships as "Our first catch of the day" [25:00].

6:53 - Kallus:  "I warn you:  do not underestimate that boy."  Warnings against underestimation occur twice in Return of the Jedi.  Luke tells Jabba, "It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers" [24:26], and later Yoda tells Luke, "Luke, do not, do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor" [43:31].  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray advises a battle droid, "These Jedi are not to be underestimated" [10:43], and in A New Hope, Vader tells Tarkin, "Don't underestimate the Force" [1:16:33].

7:48 - Kanan:  "Chopper, plug in and find Ezra and the crew."  Obi-Wan gives the same command to R2-D2 in A New Hope:  "Plug in; you should be able to interpret the entire Imperial network" [1:09:06].

8:43 - Stormtrooper (to Ezra):  "Move along, rebel."  In A New Hope, a sandtrooper says 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].

10:26 - Rex (to Ezra):  "So what's your plan?"  In A New Hope, Han asks Luke the same thing:  "What's your plan?" [1:11:56].

12:16 - Ezra (as Chopper explains his plan):  "I'm the bait?"  As Lando explains the Imperial's trap in The Empire Strikes Back, Leia says, "And we're the bait" [1:32:58].

14:03 - Rex (after Kanan criticizes his shooting):  "Ah, this helmet!  I can't see!"  In A New Hope, Luke also complains about the visibility in stormtrooper helmets:  "I can't see a thing in this helmet!" [1:13:17].

14:10 - Still dressed as a stormtrooper, Kanan enters the cell where Commander Sato and the rest of the crew are held in order to rescue them, and although he takes his helmet off as he enters, the situation is still similar to A New Hope, where Luke, also in disguise as a stormtrooper, enters Leia's cell [1:15:57].

14:23 - Kanan (to Rex, who is still exchanging fire with stormtroopers):  "We don't have time for this.  I'll pull; you fire.

Rex:  "Ha, ha, ha, just like old times."

There are two similarities here.  In The Phantom Menace, Padmé also says, "We don't have time for this, Captain" to Panaka while exchanging fire with battle droids [1:52:54], and Biggs says almost the same thing as Rex in A New Hope:  "It'll be like old times, Luke" [1:43:34].

14:51 - Kanan (referring to stormtroopers):  "There's too many of them!"

Rex:  "Ah, I'm too old for all this running."

A rebel pilot says the same thing in Return of the Jedi (referring to TIE fighters):  "There's too many of them" [1:35:13].

In A New Hope, Obi-Wan tells Luke, "I'm getting too old for this sort of thing" [36:06].

15:23 - Imperial officer:  "Cell block AA24 is compromised."  In A New Hope, C-3PO announces that Princess Leia is in "Level 5, detention block AA23" [1:10:50].

Rebels - S2E8 - "Blood Sisters"

3:34 - Sabine (to Ketsu):  "I saw your mark, old friend."  The phrase "old friend" is also used in Attack of the Clones (where Palpatine suggests "an old friend, like Master Kenobi" to protect Padmé [6:34] and Count Dooku calls Mace Windu "my old Jedi friend" [1:50:24] and just "old friend" [1:56:05]), in Revenge of the Sith (where Obi-Wan says, "Goodbye, old friend" to Anakin as he leaves for Utapau [51:13] and Yoda refers to Qui-Gon as "an old friend" [2:09:56]), in A New Hope (where Leia sarcastically says, "We, uh, ran into some old friends" when Han asks her and Luke where they've been [1:31:33]), in The Empire Strikes Back (where Yoda says that through the Force, Luke will see "Old friends long gone" [1:17:05]), and in Return of the Jedi (where Luke says, "I have a promise to keep to an old friend" [37:37] and Han calls C-3PO "an old friend of mine" [1:11:53]).

4:08 - Sabine (about breaking out of the Imperial academy):  "That was a long time ago."  Han uses the same expression in The Empire Strikes Back, after Chewbacca makes a comment that's evidently about something Han did to Lando in the past:  "Well, that was a long time ago; I'm sure he's forgotten about that" [1:18:44].  The phrase "A long time ago" is also shown at the beginning of each of the movies.

6:49 - Stormtrooper (as a fight breaks out with Ketsu):  "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].

7:20 - Stormtrooper (as Ketsu flies away):  "Bounty hunting scum."  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]).

8:20 - Sabine (as Ketsu fires on the ship):  "Too late!"  In Return of the Jedi, an Imperial officer also shouts, "Too late!" [1:59:03] after Admiral Piett orders, "Intensify forward firepower!" to destroy an A-wing on a collision course with the Super Star Destroyer.

9:53 - Sabine (as Chopper lands on Ketsu's ship):  "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].

10:46 - Ketsu (as she's about to fire on Sabine):  "I really wish it hadn't come to this, old friend."  See above, 3:34.

11:01 - Sabine (to Ketsu):  "So long, old friend."  See above, 3:34.

13:00 - Ketsu (to Sabine, referring to Chopper):  "And this astromech, not very smart sticking your neck out for it."  C-3PO uses the same expression, also referring to an astromech, in A New Hope; he tells R2-D2, "Now don't you forget this.  Why I should stick my neck out for you is quite beyond my capacity." [19:30]

16:16 - Sabine (to the Imperial officer):  "It is looking pretty bad over here.  I'd keep my distance if I were you."  Han gives Chewbacca a similar suggestion in Return of the Jedi:  "Keep your distance, though, Chewie, but don't look like you're tryin' to keep your distance" [55:12].

17:50 - Ketsu (to Chopper):  "Get us out of here."  In A New Hope, Han also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].
