Rebels - S3E3 - "The Holocrons of Fate"

0:26 - Rebel officer (to Ezra):  "Coming up on the rendezvous point, commander, but the transport's not responding."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27].

1:29 - Ezra:  "Hera!  Am I glad to see you're alright!"  Luke says something similar in A New Hope:  "Ben Kenobi?  Boy, am I glad to see you!" [30:35]

1:41 - Maul (after Kanan asks who it is):  "Just an old friend, Master Jedi."  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]).

4:21 - Maul (after Hera says she knows nothing about Kanan):  "That's not true."  Luke says the same thing in The Empire Strikes Back when Vader tells him about his father:  "That's not true.  That's impossible." [1:51:21].

6:46 - Ezra (upon seeing Bendu):  "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].

7:21 - Bendu (about bringing the holocrons together):  "Such a vergence carries grave danger."  The phrase "grave danger" also appears in The Phantom Menace (Yoda tells Obi-Wan, "The chosen one the boy may be; nevertheless, grave danger I fear in his training" [2:06:38]) and in Revenge of the Sith (Obi-Wan, referring to Anakin, tells Padmé, "He's in grave danger" [1:38:48]).

10:02 - Sabine:  "Chopper, magnetize!"  In Revenge of the Sith, one of the Neimoidians on General Grievous's ship gives this same command, albeit with a different application, to the battle droids:  "Magnetize!  Magnetize!" [16:33]

10:36 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "Trust me."  Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

14:27 - Ezra (to Kanan):  "What's our plan?"  In A New Hope, Han asks Luke almost the same thing:  "What's your plan?" [1:11:56].

17:01 - Maul (to one of his droids):  "Terminate the prisoners."  Referring to Leia, Tarkin gives the same command in A New Hope:  "Terminate her immediately" [1:03:05].

20:08 - Kana (to Ezra):  "Trust me."  See above, 10:36.
