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."  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].

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].

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].
