Rebels - S2E19 - "The Forgotten Droid"

5:24 - The symbol on the door inside the Imperial ship also appears in Echo Base in The Empire Strikes Back [33:36]:



5:54 - AP-5:  "It is against my programming protocol to allow this Imperial vessel or its cargo to be late for its scheduled deliveries."  C-3PO encounters a similar limit in Return of the Jedi, as he tells Han:  "It's against my programming to impersonate a deity" [1:11:37].

6:18 - Stormtrooper (to Imperial captain):  "Sir, we've begun a search.  If any rebels got on board, we'll find them."  In The Phantom Menace, a battle droid's comment has a similar construction; referring to the Jedi, it tells Nute Gunray and Rune Haako, "If they're down here, sir, we'll find them" [10:39].

8:12 - AP-5 (to Chopper):  "You can run, but there will be no escape."  Vader says nearly the same thing to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back:  "There is no escape" [1:50:25].  Palpatine also tells Luke, "There is no escape" in Return of the Jedi [1:44:31].

11:36 - Imperial captain (after Chopper hits him):  "Ow!  What the?"  In Attack of the Clones, an alien on Coruscant also exclaims, "What the?" as he sees Obi-Wan flying through traffic while hanging from a droid [15:08]; Han 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].

12:05 - AP-5 (to Chopper after he attacks the captain):  "I can't believe what you just did."  Dr. Jones, Sr. also says this in The Last Crusade after Indy shoots down some Nazis:  "I can't believe what you did" [51:29].

16:30 - Ketsu (after Sabine thanks her):  "You owe me one."  Anakin also says this to Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith:  "Alright, but you owe me one, and not for saving your skin for the tenth time" [24:38].  In Return of the Jedi, Han also tells Luke, "I owe you one" [37:21].

16:47 - Screenshots don't do this justice, but this shot of The Ghost sliding to a stop as it approaches the camera is similar to one of the Separatist vessel doing the same near the beginning of Revenge of the Sith [23:23].
