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]).
