Rebels - S3E22 - "Zero Hour, Part II"

1:09 - Thrawn's posture (hands behind his back) and position (on the bridge of a Star Destroyer) mirror Vader's in The Empire Strikes Back [20:27]:



1:28 - Thrawn (to an officer):  "Commence the attack."  Admiral Ackbar has a similar line in Return of the Jedi:  "Commence attack on the Death Star's main reactor!" [1:54:46]

15:17 - Thrawn (to his forces):  "Concentrate fire on the center of the storm!"  In Attack of the Clones, Yoda directs the clone troopers to "Concentrate all your fire on the nearest starship" [2:02:03], and in Return of the Jedi, Admiral Ackbar gives a similar command:  "Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer" [1:58:43].

16:29 - Ezra:  "Chopper, get us outta here."  In A New Hope, Han also says this (to Chewbacca):  "Chewie, get us outta here!" [55:26].
