Rebels - S2E13 - "The Protector of Concord Dawn"

1:05 - Commander Sato:  "So we go in with strength, scout the system for defenses to see 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].

1:29 - Hera:  "To grow the rebellion, we need friends like these Mandalorians; we could have our route and a powerful ally as well."  While speaking with the Emperor, Vader describes Luke the same way in The Empire Strikes Back:  "If he could be turned, he could become a powerful ally" [53:56].

2:19 - Sabine (to Phoenix Squadron):  "Everybody, stay sharp."  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].

3:05 - Phoenix 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].

3:20 - Hera:  "Phoenix Squadron, take evasive action!"  In The Empire Strikes Back, an Imperial officer also says, "Take evasive action!" [37:19]

6:17 - Kanan (to Sabine):  "There's nothing you could have done."  In A New Hope, Obi-Wan tells Luke this after he finds his aunt and uncle dead:  "There's nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there" [42:02].  After the duel between Vader and Obi-Wan in A New Hope, Leia tells Luke nearly the same thing:  "There wasn't anything you could have done" [1:33:52].

6:40 - Sabine:  "Fen Rau, the Protector of Concord Dawn.  That's who did this.  That's who we're up against."  See above, 1:05.

6:59 - Commander Sato (about the Battle of Mygeeto):  "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.

10:01 - Kanan (to Sabine, surveying the Mandalorian base):  "Well, what are we up against?"  See above, 1:05.

10:15 - Kanan (to Sabine):  "Now get down; they got company."  Han uses a similar expression in A New Hope:  "Luke, we're gonna have company!" [1:15:46].

12:39 - Fen Rau (about the Battle of Mygeeto):  "That was a long time ago."  See above, 6:59.

15:44 - Sabine:  "I call out you, Fen Rau.  You're gonna pay for what you did to Hera."  In Attack of the Clones, Anakin says almost the same thing:  "You're gonna pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku" [2:04:51].

17:03 - Sabine:  "There are alternatives to killing."  Obi-Wan makes a similar comment in A New Hope when he tells Han, "You can't win, but there are alternatives to fighting" [1:05:06].

20:01 - Mandalorian (to Fen Rau):  "Sir, are you alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Anakin asks Qui-Gon, "Are you alright?" [1:17:31] and Padmé asks Anakin, "You alright?" [1:19:06].  In Attack of the Clones, Padmé asks Anakin, "Ani, are you alright?" [50:02], and later a clone trooper asks Padmé, "Are you alright?" [2:05:54].  In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin asks the Chancellor, "Are you alright?"[11:49], and a bit later, Mace Windu asks him, "Chancellor Palpatine, are you alright?" [24:53].  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].  Twice in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this with a shortened "You alright?" once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].

20:21 - Mandalorian (acquiesing to Rau's orders):  "As you wish."  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].
