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."  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].

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."  Luke also uses this 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].
