Rebels - S2E1 - "The Siege of Lothal - Part I"

After a successful rebel mission in "The Siege of Lothal - Part I," there's a meeting on one of the command ships.  Significantly, Kanan is sitting apart from the others:


Shortly after this scene, he complains to Hera about joining a larger rebellion:  "When you and I started together, it was rob from the Empire, give to the needy:  a noble cause.  Now we're gettin' drawn into some kind of military thing, and I don't like it."  The distance between him and the others in this meeting visually indicates his misgivings.

Rebels - S2E1 - "The Siege of Lothal - Part I"

0:15 - Rebel pilot:  "I'll cut across their axis."  Red Leader says nearly the same thing in A New Hope:  "I'm gonna cut across the axis and try and draw their fire" [1:46:08].

2:11 - Zeb (referring to the "liberated" cargo):  "Almost in range."  In A New Hope, Han also says this, referring to a TIE fighter:  "He's almost in range" [1:04:22].

3:38 - Minister Tua:  "Lord Vader, with all due respect, you and Governor Tarkin are asking for miracles."  In The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's pilot also says, "With all due respect" ("With all due respect, the ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately" [2:06]), and Obi-Wan says it in Revenge of the Sith while speaking to Mace Windu about Anakin ("With all due respect, Master, is he not the chosen one?" [40:32]).

5:32 - Old Jho (to the rebels, referring to Minister Tua):  "She says she needs your help."  Queen Amidala says almost 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]).

9:23 - Hera:  "After our stunt on Mustafar, there's a good chance the Empire will be able to track it [The Ghost]."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Han uses almost the same expression shortly after he shoots the Imperial probe droid:  "It's a good bet the Empire knows we're here" [19:39].

9:42 - Kanan:  "So what's the plan?"  In A New Hope, Han asks Luke the same thing:  "What's your plan?" [1:11:56]

12:07 - Hera (after Kanan dresses up as a stormtrooper):  "I don't believe it."  The context is quite different, but 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].

16:29 - Stormtrooper (after Chopper shocks a stormtrooper):  "What the?"  In Attack of the Clones, an alien on Coruscant makes this same exclamation as he sees Obi-Wan flying through traffic while hanging from a droid [15:08]; Han says it in A New Hope after emerging from hyperspace into a meteor shower [1:03:15]; and in Return of the Jedi, a scout trooper says this after being hit by Wicket [1:05:38].

16:35 - Stormtrooper:  "Open up in there!"  A stormtrooper says the same thing in A New Hope (to C-3PO and R2-D2 in the Death Star control room):  "Open up in there!  Open up in there!" [1:17:57]

16:38 - Ezra:  "We're in trouble!"  Han says the same thing after the Millennium Falcon fails to jump to hyperspace in The Empire Strikes Back [37:54].

16:56 - Stormtrooper:  "Hold your fire.  Hold your fire."  Upon seeing that the escape pod jettisoned from the Tantive IV has no life forms, an Imperial officer commands, "Hold your fire" in A New Hope [7:08], and Obi-Wan says it to Anakin when he tries to shoot the buzz droids off Obi-Wan's starfighter in Revenge of the Sith:  "Hold your fire!  You're not helping here!" [6:03]

18:59 - Kanan (after he uses the Force on a stormtrooper, who lets him and Ezra pass):  "Well, then, as you wish, trooper."  The phrase "As you wish" occurs a number of times in the original trilogy:  in A New Hope, Vader says it after Tarkin asks him to release General Motti from his Force choke [38:45]; in The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett says it after Vader warns the bounty hunters against disintegrations [1:06:22]; in Return of the Jedi, Vader says it twice more in conversations with the Emperor [39:16 and 1:07:38], and Admiral Piett says it to Vader ("As you wish, my lord") [56:13].  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray says, "As you wish" at the end of a conversation with Darth Sidious [5:04], and in Revenge of the Sith, Captain Typho says, "As you wish, my lady," to Padmé [1:41:23].
