Rebels - S4E8 - "Crawler Commandeers"

1:59 - General Dodonna:  "Based upon data provided by Captain Syndulla, the TIE Defender Elite possesses speed, weapons, and shields superior to any fighter in our fleet."  There's some similarity between this and what he says about the Death Star during the briefing in A New Hope:  "An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station" [1:40:01].

4:44 - Ezra:  "Hello there!"

Captain Seevor:  "Pirate scum!"

"Hello, there" is also Obi-Wan's greeting to General Grievous in Revenge of the Sith [57:30] and to R2-D2 in A New Hope [30:07], and insults involving scum also appear in The Phantom Menace (before the podrace, Sebulba tells Anakin in Huttese, "You won't walk away from this one, you slave scum" [57:20]), 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]).

6:13 - Mining Guild HQ:  "Is this operator 94-34?"  The number 94 also appears in A New Hope; after making an agreement with Obi-Wan, Han tells him, "We'll leave as soon as you're ready.  Docking bay 94." [49:17].

12:46 - Ezra (upon finding Vizago):  "Vizago?  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].

14:14 - Vizago (posing as the captain of the crawler):  "This is the captain, uh, 93-94."  See above, 6:13.

14:25 - Vizago:  "Eh, we're having a maintenance issue and, uh, lost our security codes, uh, but everything is under control."  In Revenge of the Sith, a clone trooper tells Senator Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control" [1:24:35], and in A New Hope, Han makes the same claim twice, once to an Imperial officer ("Uh, everything's under control, situation normal" [1:15:18]) and once to Leia ("I had everything under control till you led us down here" [1:19:37]).

15:10 - Vizago (to a stormtrooper):  "I told you everything was under control."  See above, 14:25.

17:12 - Captain Seevor (to the Rebels):  "Patch me through to the Empire, or I will destroy this crawler, you pirate scum."  See above, 4:44.

17:55 - Kanan (to the comlink to Sabine):  "Ugh, I can't cut through [the refinery doors] either; they're magnetically sealed."  In A New Hope, Luke makes nearly the same comment about the egress in the trash compactor:  "It's magnetically sealed" [1:19:31].

21:02 - Sabine:  "We're receiving a transmission."  In The Phantom Menace, a Naboo crewman tells Captain Panaka nearly the same thing via comlink, "Receiving a message from home" [37:23], and in Revenge of the Sith, Captain Colton tells Senator Organa, "We're receiving a message from the Chancellor's office, sir" [1:31:44].

Rebels - S4E7 - "Kindred"

4:17 - Ezra (referring to Ruhk):  "Blast it!"

Jai Kell:  "I'm trying!  I'm trying!"

There are two similarities to the original trilogy here.  First, Luke also yells "Blast it!" to Han in A New Hope (referring to the dianoga in the trash compactor):  "Blast it, will you!?" [1:20:38].  Second, Leia gives the same response to Han in the trash compactor in A New Hope [1:23:41]; Han says, "Get on top of it," and Leia replies, "I'm trying!"  In Return of the Jedi, Han also says, "I'm trying" in exasperation while trying to lower a spear for Lando to grab [34:21].

7:09 - Hera (to Kanan):  "Getting this TIE Defender data to the Rebellion is vital."  Leia says something similar about the Death Star plans in her message to Obi-Wan in A New Hope:  "I have placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit" [35:21].

9:40 - Jai (to Ezra):  "Good luck."

and

9:49 - Sabine (to Hera):  "Good luck."

In The Empire Strikes Back, an unidentified Rebel pilot wishes Luke good luck [36:02] and Luke wishes Lando good luck [2:00:09], and in Return of the Jedi, Han and Lando wish each other good luck [Han to Lando at 50:33 and Lando to Han at 52:21].

10:56 - Zeb:  "We won't stand long against those tanks."  In Return of the Jedi, Admiral Ackbar uses nearly the same expression after Lando says to engage the Star Destroyers point blank:  "At that close range, we won't last long against those Star Destroyers" [1:43:58].

17:22 - Zeb:  "Where in blazes are we?"  Obi-Wan uses the same expression in Attack of the Clones:  "What in the blazes is he [Anakin] doing there [on Tatooine]?" [1:22:27].

Rebels - S4E6 - "Flight of the Defender"

0:55 - Ezra (to Hera, via comlink):  "No sign of the ship, yet."  In Revenge of the Sith, a clone trooper, speaking to the Emperor and referring to Yoda, says, "There's no sign of the body, sir" [1:55:11], and Luke also uses the expression during the Battle of Yavin at the end of A New Hope; after Red Ten asks Luke if he sees any fighters, Luke replies, "No sign of any- wait, comin' in point three five" [1:51:59].

7:22 - Sabine:  "I don't believe it; this thing has a navi-computer."  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].

8:51 - Sabine (to Ezra):  "Don't just stand there; jump!"  While in the trash compactor in A New Hope, Leia gives the same command:  "Don't just stand there; try and brace it with something!" [1:21:37]

9:38 - Sabine flies the TIE Defender close to the tower at the Imperial landing pad, and the framing and movement match a shot in The Empire Strikes Back where Han flies the Millennium Falcon past the bridge of a Star Destroyer [1:07:39]:

11:49 - Ezra suddenly decreases the speed of the TIE Defender so that the TIE Interceptor pursuing it flies past it.  Luke does the same thing with speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi [59:47].

12:24 - Ezra (to Sabine, referring to the last TIE Interceptor):  "Don't worry; I'll get him."  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

16:35 - Governor Pryce (to Thrawn):  "We've located the crash, Admiral, but there's no sign of the Rebels.  I'm initiating a search.  They won't escape."  An Imperial officer's comment to Vader in A New Hope has the same basic structure:  "We count thirty rebel ships, Lord Vader, but they're so small they're evading our turbolasers" [1:46:53].  For "no sign," see above, 0:55.

18:33 - Ezra (about the lothwolf):  "I don't believe it."  See above, 7:22.

20:55 - Zeb (after Sabine explains that the hyperdrive stolen from the Defender will work in the U-Wing:  "Then we can come and go off this rock."  Luke uses a similar expression in A New Hope; after C-3PO asks if there's anything he can do to help, he replies, "Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock" [19:58].

Rebels - S4E5 - "The Occupation"

0:08 - Hera:  "We're coming up on Yavin IV.  Sabine, transmit the clearance codes."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27], and in Return of the Jedi, an Imperial officer gives the same command:  "Shuttle Tydirium, transmit the clearance code for shield passage" [54:50].

2:46 - Ezra (mostly to Hera):  "Trust me; Vizago'll get us through the Empire's blockade."  Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

5:18 - Imperial offcer to the Broken Horn:  "Transmit clearance codes."  See above, 0:08.

6:53 - Stormtrooper (to Vizago):  "Hands up!"  A stormtrooper also says, "Hands up!" to Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:07].  In The Phantom Menace, a battle droid says, "Hands up!" to Jar Jar and Captain Tarpals [2:00:19], and in Revenge of the Sith, one says "Hands up, Jedi!" to Anakin [10:22].

8:25 - Stormtrooper (to some Lothal citizens):  "You're out past curfew.  Let's see some identification."  A sandtrooper makes nearly the same request of Luke in A New Hope:  "Let me see your identification" [43:32].

8:38 - Sabine (to Ezra, before the enter Old Jho's):  "You sure about this?"  Padmé asks Qui-Gon the same question in The Phantom Menace, referring to betting on Anakin in the podrace:  "Are you sure about this?" [44:21].

9:47 - Baron Valen Rudor (to Ezra, after he identifies a hologram of him):  "Your eyes do not deceive you, young man."  Obi-Wan uses this same expression in A New Hope when he tells Luke, "Your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them" [1:01:45].

11:51 - Hera (to Kanan):  "We better get moving."  After escaping the Death Star trash compactor in A New Hope, Luke says nearly the same thing:  "Well, let's get movin'" [1:25:44].

13:47 - Sabine: "We've been cut off!"  Speaking to C-3PO via comlink, Luke also says, "We've been cut off!" in A New Hope [1:17:42].

15:53 - Zeb:  "It's a probe.  Blast it!"  Luke also yells this to Han in A New Hope (referring to the dianoga in the trash compactor):  "Blast it, will you!?" [1:20:38]

---&---

In multiple shots in Old Jho's, there's yet an-other instance of the hexagonal pattern seen in the homestead garage in Attack of the Clones and A New Hope:

Rebels - S4E4 - "In the Name of the Rebellion, Part II"

5:37 - Stormtrooper (to Chopper):  "Move along, droid!"  In A New Hope, a sandtrooper says nearly 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].

14:36 - Captain Slavin (to an Imperial officer):  "Prepare a boarding party."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Vader gives the same instruction to Admiral Piett:  "Prepare the boarding party, and set your weapons for stun" [1:57:09].

15:59 - Stormtrooper (to the Rebels):  "Hands up!"  A stormtrooper also says, "Hands up!" to Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:07].  In The Phantom Menace, a battle droid says, "Hands up!" to Jar Jar and Captain Tarpals [2:00:19], and in Revenge of the Sith, one says "Hands up, Jedi!" to Anakin [10:22].

17:21 - Ezra (to Chopper):  "Don't worry about the guards; just meet us there."  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

17:55 - Stormtrooper (to Chopper):  "Hey, where do you think you're going?"  In A New Hope, Luke also asks R2 this after he goes off to find Obi-Wan:  "Hey, whoa, just where do you think you're going?" [28:12]

19:31 - As the Imperial shuttle that the Rebels stole flies past the bridge, Slavin is standing in the same pose as Vader is on his Star Destroyer in The Empire Strikes Back [20:27]:

Rebels - S4E3 - "In the Name of the Rebellion, Part I"

0:06 - Sabine (to Kanan and Ezra):  "We're coming up on Yavin IV."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27].

0:12 - Kanan (about the Rebel cell on Yavin IV):  "According to Hera, it's more well-equipped than we were."  General Tagge uses the same description in A New Hope:  "The rebel alliance is too well-equipped" [37:02].

2:31 - Wedge (to Hera):  "Captain, are you alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Anakin asks Qui-Gon, "Are you alright?" [1:17:31].  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].  Padmé also asks Anakin, "Are you alright?" [1:27:59].  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].  Luke also asks Han, "Are you alright?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:31].

4:18 - General Dodonna (in a briefing):  "Well, the question is:  what course of action do we take?"  Queen Amidala uses the phrase "course of action" in The Phantom Menace:  "I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war" [9:51].

10:22 - Kanan (to Hera):  "You alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Padmé asks Anakin this [1:19:06], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this twice, once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].

10:42 - Kanan (to Hera):  "That's Gerrera talking, not you."  Obi-Wan makes a similar distinction in A New Hope, when he tells Luke, "That's your uncle talking" [36:26].

10:55 - Hera:  "Coming up on Jalindi."  See above, 0:06.

11:47 - Zeb (about Sabine, Ezra, and Chopper):  "I don't like this; they're dropping too fast."  This is also Leia's reaction after the Millennium Falcon lands in Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back:  "I don't like this" [1:19:58].

14:38 - Commander Titus (to Ezra, impersonating him):  "Who is this?"  An Imperial officer also asks Han, "Who is this?" in A New Hope, while Han is trying to impersonate an Imperial officer [1:15:40].

21:08 - Saw (to Edrio Two Tubes):  "Get us out of here."  In A New Hope, Han also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

Rebels - S4E2 - "Heroes of Mandalore, Part II"

0:30 - Sabine (about the Empire's weapon that targets Mandalorian armor):  "This is all my fault."  C-3PO similarly blames himself in A New Hope, when he thinks that Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca are dying in the trash compactor:  "It's all my fault!" [1:24:42].  Later, when he's tangled in wires in the Millennium Falcon, he also blames R2-D2 with "This is all your fault" [1:36:11].

2:19 - Ursa Wren (to Ezra, after they're thrown by an explosion):  "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].  Padmé also asks Anakin, "Are you alright?" [1:27:59].  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].  Luke also asks Han, "Are you alright?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:31].

5:03 - Tiber Saxon (to Thrawn):  "The weapon is fully operational, as promised, Grand Admiral."  In Return of the Jedi, Palpatine uses the same words to describe the Death Star when he tells Luke, "Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!" [1:41:27]

10:37 - Ursa (accepting a less combative role in Sabine's plan):  "So be it."  Palpatine uses this same expression in Return of the Jedi, after Luke refuses to turn to the dark side:  "So be it, Jedi" [1:54:26].

14:09 - Tiber (dismissing Captain Hark's arguments):  "I am the Empire!"  Palpatine makes a similar claim to Mace Windu in Revenge of the Sith:  "I am the Senate!" [1:11:13]

15:00 - Ezra (to Kanan, about Sabine):  "She's in trouble."  Han says the similar "We're in trouble" after the Millennium Falcon fails to jump to hyperspace in The Empire Strikes Back [37:54].

17:49 - Stormtrooper (to Kanan):  "Hands up!"  A stormtrooper also says, "Hands up!" to Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:07].  In The Phantom Menace, a battle droid says, "Hands up!" to Jar Jar and Captain Tarpals [2:00:19], and in Revenge of the Sith, one says "Hands up, Jedi!" to Anakin [10:22].

20:02 - Bo-Katan:  "This is only the beginning."  During his duel with Yoda in Attack of the Clones, Dooku says nearly the same thing:  "This is just the beginning" [2:09:49].

Rebels - S4E1 - "Heroes of Mandalore, Part I"

1:44 - Chopper says something that sounds like "Here we go again," which is what C-3PO says as the stolen Imperial shuttle launches in Return of the Jedi [53:10].

3:09 - Gar Saxon (referring to Sabine):  "You may do away with her allies, Commander, but I want her alive."  This is also part of Vader's orders to the stormtroopers in A New Hope ("Bring me the passengers; I want them alive!" [6:08]) and to the bounty hunters in The Empire Strikes Back ("You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive, no disintegrations" [1:06:14]).

4:34 - Bo-Katan (to Ezra, referring to Sabine):  "Don't just stand there; protect her!"  While in the trash compactor in A New Hope, Leia gives the same command:  "Don't just stand there; try and brace it with something!" [1:21:37]

10:04 - Ursa Wren:  "Sabine, we've engaged Tiber Saxon's Imperial dogs."  C-3PO (with his head on the body of a battle droid) uses a similar insult in Attack of the Clones:  "Die, Jedi dogs!" [1:53:27].

14:21 - Kanan (to Sabine in the midst of the rescue attempt):  "How we doin'?"  Han also asks Luke, "How we doin'?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:35].

Rebels - S3E22 - "Zero Hour, Part II"

1:09 - Thrawn's posture (hands behind his back) and position (on the bridge of a Star Destroyer) mirror Vader's in The Empire Strikes Back [20:27]:

1:28 - Thrawn (to an officer):  "Commence the attack."  Admiral Ackbar has a similar line in Return of the Jedi:  "Commence attack on the Death Star's main reactor!" [1:54:46]

15:17 - Thrawn (to his forces):  "Concentrate fire on the center of the storm!"  In Attack of the Clones, Yoda directs the clone troopers to "Concentrate all your fire on the nearest starship" [2:02:03], and in Return of the Jedi, Admiral Ackbar gives a similar command:  "Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer" [1:58:43].

16:29 - Ezra:  "Chopper, get us outta here."  In A New Hope, Han also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].

Rebels - S3E21 - "Zero Hour, Part I"

1:35 - Tarkin (after Thrawn explains that the Rebels "are about to launch a major military strike against the Empire"):  "They wouldn't dare!"  In The Phantom Menace, Sio Bibble says the same thing after Qui-Gon tells Amidala that the Trade Federation will kill her if she stays on Naboo [23:36].

2:35 - Tarkin:  "If we are to crush this rebellion, we must make examples of its leaders."

Thrawn:  "As you wish, Governor Tarkin."

There are two echoes here.  Tarkin also uses this phrase in A New Hope when he says, "Now, Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the rebel fortress by the time this station is operational.  We will then crush the rebellion with one swift strike" [38:52], and 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].

9:37 - Thrawn (to the Rebels):  "There is no escape."  Vader says this to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back [1:50:25], and Palpatine says this to Luke in Return of the Jedi [1:44:31].

11:10 - Kanan (to Ezra):  "Good luck, kid."  In The Empire Strikes Back, an unidentified Rebel pilot wishes Luke good luck [36:02] and Luke wishes Lando good luck [2:00:09], and in Return of the Jedi, Han and Lando wish each other good luck [Han to Lando at 50:33 and Lando to Han at 52:21].

12:38 - Konstantine (to Thrawn):  "As you wish."  See above, 2:35.

13:35 - Green squadron 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].

14:11 - Kanan:  "Bendu, we need your help."  The same phrase appears in The Phantom Menace (Queen Amidala tells Jar Jar, "I need your help" [1:37:55]), Revenge of the Sith (Obi-Wan says, "Padmé, I need your help" [1:38:44]); and A New Hope (Obi-Wan says, "I need your help, Luke.  She [Leia] needs your help." [36:03]).

16:48 - Hera:  "Stay sharp, Ezra; we'll find you that opening."  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].

18:28 - Konstantine:  "Take evasive action!"  In The Empire Strikes Back, an Imperial officer also says, "Take evasive action!" [37:19]

18:53 - Imperial officer (to Thrawn):  "Sir, one Rebel ship escaped the blockade."  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray's confession to Darth Sidious has the same basic structure:  "One Naboo cruiser got past the blockade" [27:22].

20:45 - Mon Mothma:  "I wish I could help you, Commander Bridger, but I can't.  Doing so would play into Thrawn's hands; he'd wipe out all we've worked to build."  Queen Amidala uses nearly the same expression in The Phantom Menace when she tells Boss Nass that "the Trade Federation has destroyed all that we have worked so hard to build" [1:41:02].

21:03 - Mon Mothma (to Ezra):  "I promise you we will do our best to negotiate fair treatment for the prisoners."  In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan tells Anakin, "You will be a Jedi; I promise" [2:07:43], and in Revenge of the Sith, Padmé tells Anakin, "I'm not gonna die in childbirth, Ani; I promise you," and he replies, "No, I promise you" [53:46].  Later, Anakin also tells her, "Things will be different; I promise" [1:29:13].

Rebels - S3E20 - "Twin Suns"

3:02 - Obi-Wan (in holocron recording):  "A new hope will emerge.  A new hope-"  I noted this previously (at the end of the second part of "Spark of Rebellion"), and it's pretty obvious, but I'll note it again:  "A new hope" is the subtitle of Episode IV.

8:52 - Ezra:  "Chop, this is 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].

11:39 - Chopper deliberates between going to find a settlement or following Ezra across the desert, during which his dome rotates between his two options, which is similar to what R2-D2 does in A New Hope, evidently trying to decide whether to go his own way or stay with C-3PO [10:07].

12:09 - Ezra (walking through a sandstorm):  "Don't worry, Chop!  It can't be much farther!"  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

Rebels - S3E19 - "Double Agent Droid"

0:05 - Wedge:  "Don't worry, Phoenix Leader; we'll be back with those codes before you know it."  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

0:17 - Hera (mostly to Zeb):  "Let's cut the chatter; we've got a job to do."  Red Leader uses this same expression in A New Hope:  "Cut the chatter, Red Two" [1:45:55].

2:50 - AP-5 (arguing with Chopper):  "No, you follow my lead" and 3:10 "I told you to follow my lead."  In Attack of the Clones, Padmé says the same thing to Anakin after they land on Geonosis:  "Look, whatever happens out there, follow my lead" [1:35:51].

7:40 - Imperial Technician (to the Controller, after explaining that AP-5 stole clearance codes for Lothal):  "There is a danger."  An Imperial officer also says this to Tarkin in A New Hope:  "We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger" [1:51:03].

14:46 - Hera:  "Next time, AP, we'll listen to you; I promise."  In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan tells Anakin, "You will be a Jedi; I promise" [2:07:43], and in Revenge of the Sith, Padmé tells Anakin, "I'm not gonna die in childbirth, Ani; I promise you," and he replies, "No, I promise you" [53:46].  Later, Anakin also tells her, "Things will be different; I promise" [1:29:13].

19:05 - Hera:  "Hey, you, Imperial sleemo, keep your hands off my droid!"  Anakin also uses the Huttese insult sleemo in The Phantom Menace; according to the subtitles, after Sebulba tells him, "You won't walk away from this one, you slave scum," he replies, "Don't count on it, slime ball" [57:26].

Rebels - S3E18 - "Secret Cargo"

4:01 - Hera (after Ezra's distracted by ships exiting hyperspace):  "Nevermind, stay on target!"  One of the Gold Squadron pilot also says, "Stay on target" in A New Hope [1:50:43].

4:37 - Erskin Semaj:  "Captain Syndulla, I presume?"  Perhaps just coincidentally, this has the same structure as Henry Stanley's famous greeting "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"

11:06 - Thrawn (to Governor Pryce):  "Take Admiral Konstantine to the far side of the nebula and wait there.  When our fighters flush the Rebels out into the open, you'll be in position to capture Senator Mon Mothma alive.  She could be our key to locating the true Rebel fleet."

Pryce:  "As you wish, Grand Admiral."

There are two echoes to note here:  Palpatine's instructions to Vader in Return of the Jedi begin in a similar way:  "Send the fleet to the far side of Endor; there it will stay until called for" [53:44], and 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].

14:24 - Hera (to Gold Leader):  "Put all power in your deflector screens."  Gold Leader himself says something similar as the Y-wings begin their run on the Death Star in A New Hope:  "Switch all power to front deflector screen.  Switch all power to front deflector screen." [1:49:42]

17:58 - Zeb:  "Hera, what's the plan!?"

Hera:  "We're not gonna be able to break free.  I'm sorry, Senator; I'm going to have to shut her down."

There are two echoes, here, too.  In A New Hope, Han asks Luke almost the same thing:  "What's your plan?" [1:11:56].  Earlier, when the Millennium Falcon is caught in a tractor beam, Han has the same response:  "There's nothing I can do about it, kid; I'm full power.  I'm gonna have to shut down." [1:04:57]

18:34 - Hera (to Ezra):  "We're caught in a tractor beam.  Can you break us free?"  Han gives the same explanation in A New Hope:  "We're caught in a tractor beam; it's pullin' us in" [1:04:53].

19:52 - Erskin:  "We're coming up on the rendezvous point."  In A New Hope, Han uses the same expression when he says, "Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan" [1:02:27].

Rebels - S3E17 - "Through Imperial Eyes"

1:25 - Ezra (in disguise, to Kallus):  "What are you looking at, Imperial scum?"  Insults involving scum also appear in The Phantom Menace (before the podrace, Sebulba tells Anakin in Huttese, "You won't walk away from this one, you slave scum" [57:20]), 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]).

2:06 - Kallus (to a pair of stormtroopers):  "Leave us.  I'll interrogate him myself."  Palpatine says this twice in the movies:  "Leave us" to his entourage at the opera in Revenge of the Sith [43:44] and "Guards, leave us" to the Imperial guards in Return of the Jedi [1:30:55].

5:04 - Rex (after Chopper says he's on Thrawn's Star Destroyer):  "What in blazes are you doing there!?"  Obi-Wan says nearly the same thing in Attack of the Clones:  "What in the blazes is he [Anakin] doing there [on Tatooine]?" [1:22:27].

7:43 - Thrawn:  "A traitor in our ranks is feeding the Rebels information.  That is the only logical explanation for their success and our failure."  Leia uses nearly the same expression in A New Hope, after telling Han that the Imperials let them go:  "It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape" [1:36:44].

16:30 - Rex (as he and Kanan drop out of hyperspace to land on Thrawn's Star Destroyer):  "Well, here goes nothin'."  Lando also says, "Here's goes nothing" as he pilots the Millennium Falcon into the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi [1:57:45].

16:34 - The framing here is roughly the same as that in a shot in Return of the Jedi [54:27], just with the Star Destroyer facing the opposite direction:

(The same is also done with Kanan and Rex in S2E9 "Stealth Strike.")

18:46 - Lyste (after Kallus accuses him of being the Rebel spy):  "What are you talking about?"  This line appears three times in A New Hope:  twice, C-3PO asks R2-D2, "What are you talking about?" [6:51 and 9:47], and later, in response to Luke's urge to rescue Leia, Han asks, "What are you talkin' about?" [1:11:03].  In Attack of the Clones, Anakin also asks Padmé, "What are you talking about?" [1:43:07].

18:48 - Yularen (to stormtroopers, referring to Lyste):  "Take him away!"  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray commands, "Take him away," to a pair of battle droids, referring to Sio Bibble [1:18:19], and in Attack of the Clone, Jango Fett says, "Take him away" to battle droids, referring to Anakin [1:42:30].

19:59 - Thrawn (after Yularen says that "things have fallen into place a little too perfectly"):  "I agree."  In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin says, "I agree" twice (once after Obi-Wan says that Anakin is not helping by firing at the buzz droids on his fighter:  "I agree, bad idea" [6:04] and once after Palpatine explains that the Jedi would kill the two of them and the senators [1:17:36]).  Yoda also says it twice (once to Ki-Adi-Mundi's suggestion that it's Obi-Wan who should confront Grievous [49:09] and once to Obi-Wan's suggestion to turn off the retreat message coming from the Jedi temple [1:30:50]).

Rebels - S3E16 - "Legacy of Mandalore"

3:54 - Sabine (to Tristan):  "I'll explain everything; I promise."  In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan tells Anakin, "You will be a Jedi; I promise" [2:07:43], and in Revenge of the Sith, Padmé tells Anakin, "I'm not gonna die in childbirth, Ani; I promise you," and he replies, "No, I promise you" [53:46].  Later, Anakin also tells her, "Things will be different; I promise" [1:29:13].

4:30 - Tristan:  "You shouldn't have come back, Sabine."  Vader also says this to Obi-Wan in A New Hope:  "You should not have come back" [1:31:00].

10:15 - Sabine (to her mother):  "Look, the Rebels are planning something, and we need your help."  The same phrase appears in The Phantom Menace (Queen Amidala tells Jar Jar, "I need your help" [1:37:55]), Revenge of the Sith (Obi-Wan says, "Padmé, I need your help" [1:38:44]); and A New Hope (Obi-Wan says, "I need your help, Luke.  She [Leia] needs your help." [36:03]).

14:55 - Ursa (after Gar Saxon says she "consorted with known traitors"):  "What are you talking about?"  This line appears three times in A New Hope:  twice, C-3PO asks R2-D2, "What are you talking about?" [6:51 and 9:47], and later, in response to Luke's urge to rescue Leia, Han asks, "What are you talkin' about?" [1:11:03].  In Attack of the Clones, Anakin also asks Padmé, "What are you talking about?" [1:43:07].

Rebels - S3E15 - "Trials of the Darksaber"

12:13 - Ezra (after Sabine says she's a disgrace and a traitor to her family):  "But 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].

Rebels - S3E14 - "Warhead"

0:04 - This shot of pods coming out of the bottom of a Star Destroyer is similar to a shot of probe droids being launched from a Star Destroyer at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back:

2:49 - Zeb (annoyed by AP-5):  "I don't have to stay here and listen to this."  Put off by Han, Luke says nearly the same thing in A New Hope:  "We don't have to sit here and listen-" [49:01]

7:06 - Zeb (to Chopper, about the infiltrator droid):  "He doesn't like you."  Referring to Ponda Baba, Dr. Evazan also tells Luke this in A New Hope [46:34].

14:11 - Zeb (to AP-5, about the infiltrator droid):  "If you're right, then this droid could vaporize the entire base and us along with it."  One of Tarkin's comments to Vader about Obi-Wan in A New Hope has the same protasis:  "If you're right, he must not be allowed to escape" [1:16:56].

15:47 - Zeb (outlining his plan to AP-5):  "We let it go back to its base, but it blows before it can upload its data, maybe even take some more of these droids with it."  Lando makes a similar comment in an exchange with Admiral Ackbar in Return of the Jedi [1:43:53]:

Lando:  "Yes, I said, 'closer'!  Move as close as you can, and engage those Star Destroyers at point blank range!"

Ackbar:  "At that close range, we won't last long against those Star Destroyers."

Lando:  "We'll last longer than we will against that Death Star, and we might just take a few of them with us!"

19:35 - Zeb (starting to explain to Hera what happened):  "We, uh, we think we got it all under control."  In Revenge of the Sith, a clone trooper tells Senator Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control" [1:24:35], and in A New Hope, Han makes the same claim twice, once to an Imperial officer ("Uh, everything's under control, situation normal" [1:15:18]) and once to Leia ("I had everything under control till you led us down here" [1:19:37]).

Rebels - S3E13 - "Ghosts of Geonosis Part II"

2:46 - An Imperial light cruiser flies overhead, with framing somewhat similar to the shot with a Star Destroyer at the beginning of A New Hope:

2:58 - Captain Brunson:  "I don't want to waste any more time on this desolate rock than I have to."  Luke uses a similar expression in A New Hope; after C-3PO asks if there's anything he can do to help, he replies, "Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock" [19:58].

6:01 - Ezra (about Klik-Klak's egg):  "If it is a queen, then it's vital to the survival of his whole race."  Leia uses this expression in her message to Obi-Wan in A New Hope:  "I have placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit" [35:21].

7:03 - Hera (as TIE bombers approach):  "We're in trouble!"  Han also says, "We're in trouble" after the Millennium Falcon fails to jump to hyperspace in The Empire Strikes Back [37:54].

7:18 - Once again, the framing of the light cruiser is similar to the framing of the Star Destroyer at the beginning of A New Hope:

8:11 - Sabine:  "Stupid sand, gets everywhere."  Anakin also complains about sand in Attack of the Clones:  "I don't like sand.  It's course and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere." [44:37]

8:32 - Hera (to Sabine and Zeb):  "Strap yourselves in!"  Han also says this in A New Hope:  "Go strap yourselves in; I'm gonna make the jump to lightspeed" [56:46].

10:25 - Zeb (to Ezra, about Klik-Klak):  "You found a local?"  After Obi-Wan asks, "What's this?" about Jar Jar in The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon describes him the same way:  "A local" [11:51].

13:30 - Hera:  "Hey, if we all get captured, that'll end this debate real quick.  Let's go!"  Han uses the same phrase in A New Hope as he explains hyperspace travel to Luke:  "Without precise calculations, we'd fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova, and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?" [56:37]

18:48 - Imperial officer:  "We're in position over the opening, but there's no sign of the enemy ship."  In Revenge of the Sith, a clone trooper, speaking to the Emperor and referring to Yoda, says, "There's no sign of the body, sir" [1:55:11], and Luke also uses the expression during the Battle of Yavin at the end of A New Hope; after Red Ten asks Luke if he sees any fighters, Luke replies, "No sign of any- wait, comin' in point three five" [1:51:59].

20:02 - Captain Brunson:  "Take evasive action!"  In The Empire Strikes Back, an Imperial officer also says, "Take evasive action!" [37:19]

Rebels - S3E12 - "Ghosts of Geonosis Part I"

4:51 - Kanan:  "Let's go take a look."  Referring to sand people, Luke says nearly the same thing to C-3PO in A New Hope:  "Come on; let's go have a look" [28:39]

9:43 - Rex (to Saw):  "It's good to see you alive, my 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]).

10:36 - Sabine (upon realizing that the energy source is a shield generator):  "Oh, 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].

10:50 - Sabine (about the shield generator):  "Looks like it's fully operational."  In Return of the Jedi, Palpatine uses the same words to describe the Death Star when he tells Luke, "Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!" [1:41:27]

11:23 - Zeb  "You don't just find a fully operational shield generator on a deserted planet for no reason."  See above, 10:50.

14:50 - Hera (about the destroyer droids):  "There's too many, Zeb."  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].

15:40 - Hera (to the team in the catacombs):  "Alright, boys, I'm calling it; get back to the surface before these battle droids or anything else wakes up."  Luke also says, "Alright, boys" as the snowspeeders join the battle in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Alright, boys, keep tight now" [26:38].

15:48 - Saw:  "We're not going anywhere."  Initially refusing to rescue Leia, Han says the same thing in A New Hope:  "I'm not goin' anywhere" [1:11:14].

16:32 - Kanan:  "Sabine and Zeb are in trouble."  Han says, "We're in trouble" after the Millennium Falcon fails to jump to hyperspace in The Empire Strikes Back [37:54].

17:56 - Rex (after Kanan tells him and Saw to blast a bridge loose):  "I think I know what you have in mind."  Han says basically the same thing in A New Hope:  "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Leia uses the same expression when she asks Han, "What'd you have in mind for your next move?" [1:14:52].

Rebels - S3E11 - "Visions and Voices"

0:12 - Hera (giving a briefing):  "There's no need for the full squadron; a small unit should be able handle this."  One of General Dodonna's comments during the briefing at the end of A New Hope has some of the same vocabulary:  "A small, one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense" [1:39:42].

2:47 - Kanan (to Hera):  "I'm thinking whatever Ezra went through with Maul, it's not over yet."  Leia also says, "It's not over yet" in A New Hope [1:37:04].

7:44 - Kanan (to Maul):  "You're not walking off this rock in one piece."  Luke uses a similar expression in A New Hope; after C-3PO asks if there's anything he can do to help, he replies, "Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock" [19:58].

7:49 - Maul (to Kanan and Ezra):  "I have planted a beacon nearby.  Strike me down, and it will activate, revealing your presence to the Empire."  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]

8:30 - Kanan (after Ezra agrees to go with Maul):  "I do not like this."  This is also Leia's reaction after the Millennium Falcon lands in Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back:  "I don't like this" [1:19:58].

10:46 - Maul:  "Trust me, Ezra."  Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

11:13 - Maul (to Ezra):  "Do not touch anything!"  Qui-Gon tells Jar Jar this in Watto's shop in The Phantom Menace:  "Don't touch anything" [32:16].

17:36 - Sabine (possessed by a Nightsister, to Ezra):  "You're unwise to re-enter our sanctum."  Vader makes a similar comment to Luke during their duel in Return of the Jedi:  "You are unwise to lower your defenses" [1:49:24].

Rebels - S3E10 - "An Inside Man"

1:36 - Ezra:  "Uh, Ryder, what's the plan?"  In A New Hope, Han asks Luke almost the same thing:  "What's your plan?" [1:11:56].

2:28 - Ryder:  "Eh, wish I could take credit.  Idea came from an old friend of yours."  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]).

7:55 - Ezra (to Kanan):  "Now's our chance to find out what the Empire's up to."  Han uses this same expression in A New Hope when some stormtroopers are distracted by the duel between Obi-Wan and Vader and leave their posts, giving Han and the rest an opportunity to return to the Millennium Falcon:  "Now's our chance; go!" [1:32:02]

13:05 - Stormtrooper (to Kanan and Ezra, in disguise as troopers):  "What's your operating number?"  In A New Hope, an Imperial officer also asks Han this over the comlink [1:15:41].

14:31 - Chopper makes noises that sound like "Trust him!  Trust him!" which is what C-3PO says in The Empire Strikes Back about Lando [1:42:12].

19:04 - Ryder (after Kanan and Ezra emerge from the Imperial walker):  "I don't believe it.  I thought you were in the smaller one."  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].

21:04 - Thrawn (to Governor Pryce):  "Patience, Governor."  There are a few instances in the movies where characters advise patience, but the closest similarity here is to what Palpatine says to Vader in Return of the Jedi:  "Patience, my friend" [38:57].

Rebels - S3E9 - "The Wynkahthu Job"

0:28 - Hondo (to the Ghost crew):  "I can't tell you how much your welcome warms this old pirate's heart.  You are too gracious."

Zeb:  "I agree."

Yoda makes a similar comment to Padmé near the beginning of Attack of the Clones:  "Seeing you alive brings warm feelings to my heart" [5:33].

In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin says, "I agree" twice (once after Obi-Wan says that Anakin is not helping by firing at the buzz droids on his fighter:  "I agree, bad idea" [6:04] and once after Palpatine explains that the Jedi would kill the two of them and the senators [1:17:36]).  Yoda also says it twice (once to Ki-Adi-Mundi's suggestion that it's Obi-Wan who should confront Grievous [49:09] and once to Obi-Wan's suggestion to turn off the retreat message coming from the Jedi temple [1:30:50]).

1:36 - Azmorigan (about Hera):  "Oh, I remember now, the feisty one."  In Return of the Jedi, EV-9D9 also describes R2-D2 this way:  "You're a feisty little one" [12:04].

3:50 - Hondo (after Sabine asks why he doesn't use his own crew for salvaging):  "Oh, trust me; that is a long, boring story."  Hondo uses it more as an off-handed comment, but Han also says, "Trust me" (to Leia) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:20:06].

6:37 - Sabine (as the salvage operation starts):  "Alright, boys, good luck!"  In The Empire Strikes Back, an unidentified Rebel pilot wishes Luke good luck [36:02] and Luke wishes Lando good luck [2:00:09], and in Return of the Jedi, Han and Lando wish each other good luck [Han to Lando at 50:33 and Lando to Han at 52:21].  Luke also says, "Alright, boys" as the snowspeeders join the battle in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Alright, boys, keep tight now" [26:38].

7:31 - Azmorigan (about a clunk):  "What was that?"

Zeb:  "It's nothing.  It's loose cargo."

Azmorigan:  "I saw something move!  There!"

There's some similarity between this and Luke's discovery of the dianoga in the trash compactor in A New Hope:  "Something just moved past my leg.  Look!  Did you see that!?" [1:19:53]

12:06 - Sabine (after Zeb warns her about the proton bombs):  "I'll be careful."  In the cantina in A New Hope, Luke assures Dr. Evazan that "I'll be careful" [46:46].

14:03 - Hera (to Ezra):  "We're running out of time here!"  Qui-Gon also says this in The Phantom Menace:  "Either way, we're running out of time" [40:07].

14:05 - Ezra:  "Hondo!  Come on, I need your help."  Queen Amidala says the same thing to Jar Jar in The Phantom Menace ("I need your help" [1:37:55]); Obi-Wan to Padmé in Revenge of the Sith ("Padmé, I need your help" [1:38:44]); and Obi-Wan to Luke in A New Hope ("I need your help, Luke.  She [Leia] needs your help." [36:03]).

20:19 - Kanan:  "Punch it, Hera."  Han also says, "Punch it!" to Chewbacca in The Empire Strikes Back [35:35].

Rebels - S3E8 - "Iron Squadron"

4:24 - Jonner:  "Mart's the best pilot in the galaxy."  Obi-Wan gives this credit to Anakin in A New Hope:  "He was the best star pilot in the galaxy" [32:58].

5:33 - Hera (about the Empire):  "They'll be back."  In A New Hope, Obi-Wan also says this, but about the Tusken Raiders:  "The sand people are easily startled, but they'll soon be back and in greater numbers" [31:52].

6:00 - Mart:  "We had everything under control."  In A New Hope, Han makes the same claim twice, once to an Imperial officer ("Uh, everything's under control, situation normal" [1:15:18]) and once to Leia ("I had everything under control till you led us down here" [1:19:37]).

12:30 - Mart (thinking his detached cargo destroyed the Imperial ship):  "I got 'em!  I got 'em!"  Luke also exclaims this after successfully shooting down one of the Imperial sentry ships in A New Hope:  "Got him!  I got him! [1:35:25]

15:31 - Mart (after the rebels return to rescue him):  "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].

Rebels - S3E7 - "Imperial Super Commandos"

4:21 - Fenn Rau (to Sabine):  "This is all your fault!"  C-3PO, tangled in wires in the Millennium Falcon, also blames R2-D2 with "This is all your fault" in A New Hope [1:36:11].

6:57 - Gar Saxon (to his super commandos, about the rebels):  "Stay alert.  They're around here somewhere."  Wedge also gives this advice in Return of the Jedi, as the rebel ships enter the Death Star:  "Stay alert; we could run out of space real fast" [1:58:00].

7:22 - Ezra (surrending to the super commandos):  "Don't shoot!"  C-3PO also says this to Jawas in A New Hope:  "Don't shoot!  Don't shoot!" [16:27].

14:25 - Gar Saxon (to Ezra):  "Sabine never told you about her family?"  One of Vader's comments to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back has a similar structure, albeit as a statement, not a question:  "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father" [1:50:58].

16:00 - Gar Saxon (to his super commandoes):  "I want those rebels alive!"  This is also part of Vader's orders to the stormtroopers in A New Hope ("Bring me the passengers; I want them alive!" [6:08]) and to the bounty hunters in The Empire Strikes Back ("You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive, no disintegrations" [1:06:14]).

Rebels - S3E6 - "The Last Battle"

5:13 - Kalani (Super tactical droid):  "If you will not fight, you will be terminated."  Vader's comment to Luke in Return of the Jedi is essentially the same:  "If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny" [1:50:11].

6:16 - Chopper hits the Separatist shuttle to get it working again, which is the same thing that Han does with the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back [35:07].

10:08 - Kanan (after destroyer droids appear):  "Ezra, get back; they're too dangerous."  Obi-Wan makes the same comment as Luke rushes back to the farm in A New Hope:  "It's too dangerous!" [39:52].

12:14 - Kanan (to Rex):  "You alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Padmé asks Anakin this [1:19:06], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this twice, once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].

19:12 - Ezra:  "Get to the ships!"  Padmé says almost the same thing to the Naboo pilots in The Phantom Menace:  "Get to your ships!" [1:47:08]

Rebels - S3E5 - "Hera's Heroes"

1:57 - Scout trooper (about The Ghost):  "Shoot it down!"  In Attack of the Clones, Anakin says nearly the same thing to a clone pilot, referring to Count Dooku:  "Shoot him down!" [2:02:59]

8:02 - Hera (after Ezra says it was easy to find the Kalikori):  "Eh, we're not out of this yet."  Han also tells Luke, "We're not out of this yet" in A New Hope, shortly before the battle with the Death Star's sentry ships [1:33:54].

9:08 - Hera:  "Chopper!  Am I glad to see you."  Luke says the same thing in A New Hope:  "Ben Kenobi?  Boy, am I glad to see you!" [30:35]

20:41 - Thrawn (after an officer tells him the rebels are in range):  "Hold your fire."  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 - S3E4 - "The Antilles Extraction"

0:13 - Pilot (to a woman in a hologram):  "Don't worry; you'll get your food supply."  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

0:18 - Woman in the hologram:  "We had no idea the rebels were so well equipped."  There's some resemblance between this and what General Tagge says in A New Hope:  "The rebel alliance is too well-equipped" [37:02].

3:58 - Sabine (after the Imperial officer questions her credentials):  "That, um, that happens from time to time."  C-3PO uses this same expression in The Empire Strikes Back when he tells Leia, "Actually, R2 has been known to make mistakes from time to time" [12:31].

4:42 - Kanan (to Ezra, about Sabine):  "Don't worry; she'll be fine." See above, 0:13.

5:56 - Instructor Goran:  "Comscan is tracking rebel ships entering sector two."  General Veers also mentions Comscan in The Empire Strikes Back when he tells Vader, "Comscan has detected an energy field protecting an area of the sixth planet of the Hoth system" [23:01].

6:03 - Sabine:  "Right behind ya, two five."  Jek Porkins says something similar (to Biggs) in A New Hope:  "I'm right with ya, Red Three" [1:47:11].

10:22 - Sabine (to Wedge):  "Look, I want to do my part for the Empire, but firing on unarmed ships wasn't what I had in mind."  Han uses this expression in A New Hope:  "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12].  In The Empire Strikes Back, Leia also asks Han, ""What'd you have in mind for your next move?" [1:14:52].

10:50 - Wedge (after Sabine hints at defection):  "What are you talkin' about?"  This line appears three times in A New Hope:  twice, C-3PO asks R2-D2, "What are you talking about?" [6:51 and 9:47], and later, in response to Luke's urge to rescue Leia, Han asks, "What are you talkin' about?" [1:11:03].  In Attack of the Clones, Anakin also asks Padmé, "What are you talking about?" [1:43:07].

11:08 - Wedge:  "What's your plan?"  In A New Hope, Han asks Luke the same thing [1:11:56].

12:03 - Instructor Goran (to Governor Pryce):  "With all due respect, Governor, I am trying to train pilots here."  In The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's pilot also says, "With all due respect" ("With all due respect, the ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately" [2:06]), and Obi-Wan uses it in Revenge of the Sith while speaking to Mace Windu about Anakin ("With all due respect, Master, is he not the chosen one?" [40:32]).

14:41 - Instructor Goran:  "Four cadets have broken off from the main group toward the rebel ship."  Vader uses the same expression in A New Hope, when he tells two pilots, "Several fighters have broken off from the main group" [1:48:30].

16:39 - Wedge (after he unwittingly gives the Imperials Sabine's name):  "Blast it!"  Obi-Wan also says "Blast!" when Jango Fett ambushes him in Attack of the Clones ("Blast!  This is why I hate flying!" [1:08:22]), and Luke says it twice in A New Hope:  after R2-D2 disappears ("Blast it!" [26:49]) and when a TIE fighter is behind him during the Battle of Yavin ("Blast it, Biggs, where are you?" [1:49:09]).

17:33 - Hobbie (to Wedge):  "So what's your plan?"  See above, 11:08.

17:51 - Governor Pryce (after Sabine compliments her fighting):  "The Empire taught me well."  Vader tells Luke, "Obi-Wan has taught you well" in The Empire Strikes Back [1:44:42] and in Return of the Jedi [1:49:01].

18:40 - Agent Kallus (to Sabine):  "Don't shoot."  C-3PO says this to Jawas in A New Hope:  "Don't shoot!  Don't shoot!" [16:27].
