Rebels - S4E12 - "Wolves and a Door"

0:59 - Ezra (after Sabine says she might make sense of the symbols if she saw the Jedi temple):  "I agree."  In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin says, "I agree" twice (once after Obi-Wan says that Anakin is not helping by firing at the buzz droids on his fighter:  "I agree, bad idea" [6:04] and once after Palpatine explains that the Jedi would kill the two of them and the senators [1:17:36]).  Yoda also says it twice (once to Ki-Adi-Mundi's suggestion that it's Obi-Wan who should confront Grievous [49:09] and once to Obi-Wan's suggestion to turn off the retreat message coming from the Jedi temple [1:30:50]).

9:44 - Ezra (influencing a dark trooper with the Force):  "You don't need our numbers and clearance."  Obi-Wan's Jedi mind trick on the sandtrooper in A New Hope is similar:  "You don't need to see his identification" [43:34].

11:45 - Hera:  "With the Emperor involved, it's too dangerous."  Obi-Wan makes the same comment as Luke rushes back to the farm in A New Hope:  "It's too dangerous!" [39:52].

13:31 - Ezra (after Sabine asks him if he's "seen anything like this before"):  "Nope, but this temple is always full of surprises."  Luke uses the same expression during his duel with Vader in The Empire Strikes Back:  "You'll find I'm full of surprises" [1:43:49].

17:17 - Sabine (in disguise as a scout trooper, referring to protocol):  "I don't have time for this."  In The Phantom Menace, Padmé says, "We don't have time for this, Captain" to Panaka while exchanging fire with battle droids [1:52:54].

19:39 - Ezra (as the wolves run in a circle):  "This is it."  Red Leader also says this at the beginning of the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope:  "This is it, boys" [1:46:01].
