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].
