Rebels - S3E2 - "Steps into Shadow - Part II"

7:06 - Bendu (to Kanan):  "Ah, your thoughts dwell on your apprentice."  In The Phantom Menace, Ki-Adi Mundi makes a similar comment to Anakin:  "Your thoughts dwell on your mother" [1:30:21].

12:08 - Commander Titus (to Governor Pryce):  "I assure you, Governor, we will capture these rebels momentarily."  Qui-Gon uses the same expression in The Phantom Menace; after Queen Amidala says that Senator Palpatine fears the Trade Federation wants to destroy her, he replies, "I assure you I will not allow that to happen" [1:36:33].  Palpatine uses it while talking to Mace Windu and addressing the senate in Revenge of the Sith ("And I assure you, the senate will vote to continue the war as long as Grievous is alive" [25:12] and "But I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger!" [1:35:16]) and while talking to Luke in Return of the Jedi ("I assure you we are quite safe from your friends here" [1:32:08]).

15:18 - Sabine (to Ezra):  "Spector Six, the Empire is here in orbit; we are in big trouble."  Han also says, "We're in trouble" after the Millennium Falcon fails to jump to hyperspace in The Empire Strikes Back [37:54].

16:36 - Sabine (after Hera orders the bombers onto the carrier):  "Copy, Ghost.  We are glad to see you."  Luke says the same thing in A New Hope:  "Ben Kenobi?  Boy, am I glad to see you!" [30:35]

19:36 - Commander Sato (to rebel officer):  "Get us out of here."  In A New Hope, Han also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

Rebels - S3E1 - "Steps into Shadow - Part I"

1:28 - Ezra (to Sabine, referring to Hondo):  "Trust me; we need the information he has."  Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

6:11 - Zeb (about Ezra's influencing the Imperial walker pilot through the Force):  "Pretty wizard, eh?"  Anakin's friend Kitster uses a similar expression in The Phantom Menace:  "This is so wizard, Ani!" [54:25].

7:28 - Sith holocron (to Ezra):  "Your anger gives you strength, gives you focus."  Palpatine makes similar comments to Anakin in Revenge of the Sith:  "I can feel your anger.  It gives you focus, makes you stronger." [1:04:45].

12:14 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "Acting out of anger offers quick results, but it's a trap!"  Admiral Ackbar says, "It's a trap!" in Return of the Jedi [1:35:03], and Leia says it twice in The Empire Strikes Back [1:39:50], although both are speaking more literally.

14:09 - Ezra:  "Sabine, get us out of here."  Han also says this in A New Hope:  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

15:53 - Sabine rapidly decelerates The Phantom so that the Mining Guild TIE fighter chasing it suddenly passes it, which is the same thing that Luke does with two Imperial speederbikes in Return of the Jedi [59:47].

Rebels - S2E22 - "Twilight of the Apprentice - Part II"

1:49 - Kanan:  "Dealing with Inquisitors is one thing; Vader is another."  Han's comment to Obi-Wan in A New Hope is somewhat similar:  "Look, good against remotes is one thing.  Good against the living?  That's something else."  [1:02:20].  Luke also makes the same sort of comparison in The Empire Strikes Back after Yoda implies that he should use the Force to get his X-wing out of the swamp:  "Master, moving stones around is one thing; this is totally different!" [1:09:12].

3:58 - Maul (as Kanan tries to step onto the lift with Maul and Ezra):  "Only two.  No more, no less."  In The Phantom Menace, Yoda also uses this phrase to describe the Sith:  "Always two there are, no more, no less, a master and an apprentice" [2:07:59].

5:47 - Ezra (to Kanan):  "Trust me."  Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

7:33 - Maul (to Ezra):  "Use your anger."  In Return of the Jedi, Palpatine similarly counsels Luke:  "Use your aggressive feelings, boy" [1:48:49].

7:48 - Maul (to Ezra, referring to the Seventh Sister):  "Strike her down!"  Palpatine uses this phrase in Return of the Jedi as he taunts Luke:  "Strike me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!" [1:45:00]

13:13 - Kanan:  "Chopper!  Am I glad to hear you!"  Luke says something similar in A New Hope:  "Ben Kenobi?  Boy, am I glad to see you!" [30:35]

19:56 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "There's nothing we can do now."  In A New Hope, Obi-Wan tells Luke something similar after he finds his aunt and uncle dead:  "There's nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there" [42:02].

Rebels - S2E21 - "Twilight of the Apprentice - Part I"

The title may be a reference to what Yoda says in Return of the Jedi:  "Twilight is upon me, and soon night must fall" [40:48].

0:20 - Rex (to Ahsoka):  "In my book, experience outranks everything."  He says the same thing to her shortly after they meet in The Clone Wars movie [12:11].

5:54 - Maul (to Ezra):  "Please put your weapon away.  I, I mean you no harm."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda says the same thing to Luke when he first meets him:  "Away put your weapon; I mean you no harm" [47:23].

6:36 - Maul (to Ezra):  "Why are you here?"  This continues the parallel with Luke and Yoda's meeting in The Empire Strikes Back; Yoda's next comment is:  "I am wondering:  why are you here?"  [47:27].

11:32 - Maul (explaining to Ezra how to get into the Sith temple):  "Two must lift these stones, no more, no less; that is the way of the Sith."  In The Phantom Menace, Yoda also uses this phrase to describe the Sith:  "Always two there are, no more, no less, a master and an apprentice" [2:07:59].

14:51  Maul (to Ezra):  "Unless you take risks, do what must be done, there will always be limits to your abilities."  In Revenge of the Sith, Sidious says the same thing, albeit as a command:  "Do what must be done, Lord Vader" [1:18:15].

18:26 - Maul (to Ezra as the Sith temple lifts him higher):  "Jump!"  Anakin, from the back of the reek, also calls this to Padmé in Attack of the Clones, while she's perched on top of her pillar in the Geonosian arena [1:48:56].

18:50 - Maul (to Ezra):  "Trust me."  Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

19:55 - Kanan (to Chopper):  "What do you mean we've got company?"  Han uses a similar expression in A New Hope:  "Luke, we're gonna have company!" [1:15:46].
