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].

Yoda also says, "I agree" in Revenge of the Sith (to Ki-Adi-Mundi's suggestion that it's Obi-Wan who should confront Grievous) [49:09].

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."  Han makes the same claim (to Leia) in A New Hope:  "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]), 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]), and The Empire Strikes Back (Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]).

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].
