Rebels - S2E3 - "The Lost Commanders"

1:13 - Chopper makes a noise that seems to be "I've got a bad feeling about this."

5:26 - Rex (to the rebels):  "Sorry about the, um, weapons malfunction."  This is the same excuse Han gives to an Imperial officer in A New Hope:  "Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction" [1:15:21].

11:16 - Zeb (after Gregor says they're coming up on a hot spot):  "Your hot spot looks like everywhere else on this desolate rock."  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].

12:35 - The joopa makes the same sound as the sarlacc in Return of the Jedi.

17:03 - Hera (to Kanan):  "Ahsoka's 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].

Revenge of the Sith

The title parallels Return of the Jedi.

3:32 - Clone pilot:  "Set S-foils in attack position."  Red Leader gives a similar instruction in A New Hope ("Lock S-foils in attack position" [1:45:38]), and so does Wedge in Return of the Jedi ("Lock S-foils in attack positions" [1:34:20]).

3:47 - Anakin:  "This is where the fun begins."  Han Solo has a similar line in A New Hope:  "Here's where the fun begins" [56:26].

4:32 - Anakin (after a Vulture droid launches missiles at him and Obi-Wan):  "Pull up!"  Obi-Wan says this to Anakin during the speeder chase in Attack of the Clones ("Pull up, Anakin, pull up!" [17:08]); Biggs gives this instruction to Luke and to Porkins in A New Hope ("Luke, pull up!" [1:46:42] and "Pull up!" [1:47:22]); and Lando says it in Return of the Jedi ("Pull up!  All craft, pull up!" [1:34:48]).

5:23 - Obi-Wan (after buzz droids land on his starfighter):  "I'm hit!"  In A New Hope, this is said by a Rebel pilot ("I'm hit!" [1:48:06]), Luke ("I'm hit, but not bad" [1:48:48]), and Wedge ("I'm hit!" [1:54:32]).  A rebel pilot also says, "I'm hit!" in Return of the Jedi [1:44:16].

6:03 - Obi-Wan (to Anakin, as he tries to shoot the buzz droids):  "Hold your fire!  You're not helping here!" [6:03]  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].

6:13 - Obi-Wan (after his cockpit window fogs over):  "I can't see a thing."  Luke says the same thing in A New Hope about his stormtrooper disguise ("I can't see a thing in this helmet!" [1:13:17]) and in The Empire Strikes Back while entering Dagobah's atmosphere in his X-wing ("All the scopes are dead; I can't see a thing" [41:09]).

6:26 - Obi-Wan (to Anakin):  "You're gonna get us both killed!"  Anakin says something similar to R2-D2 in The Phantom Menace:  "R2, get us off this auto-pilot; it's gonna get us both killed!" [1:53:55], and Leia says something similar to Han in A New Hope, after he tries to shoot his way out of the trash compactor:  "Put that thing away; you're gonna get us all killed!" [1:19:32]

6:30 - Obi-Wan (to Anakin):  "Get out of here; there's nothing more you can do."  Luke says something similar to Wedge in A New Hope:  "Get clear, Wedge; you can't do any more good back there" [1:54:34].

7:24 - Obi-Wan:  "Oh, I have a bad feeling about this."

10:22 - Battle droid (to Anakin):  "Hands up, Jedi."  A battle droid also says, "Hands up!" to Jar Jar and Captain Tarpals in The Phantom Menace [2:00:19], and storm trooper says, "Hands up!" to Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:07].

11:49 - Anakin (to the Chancellor):  "Are you alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Anakin asks Qui-Gon, "Are you alright?" [1:17:31] and Padmé asks Anakin, "You alright?" [1:19:06].  In Attack of the Clones, Padmé asks Anakin, "Ani, are you alright?" [50:02], and later a clone trooper asks Padmé, "Are you alright?" [2:05:54].  In A New Hope, Luke asks Obi-Wan this [59:16] and Biggs asks Luke [1:46:44], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke asks, "Rogue Two, are you alright?" [30:31].  Twice in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this with a shortened "You alright?" once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].  Luke also asks Han, "Are you alright?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:31].

15:42 - Wilehlm scream (clone trooper)

18:43 - General Grievous:  "General Kenobi, we've been waiting for you."  Vader greets him similarly in A New Hope:  "I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan" [1:30:09].

19:12 - Grievous (to Anakin):  "Jedi 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]), 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]).

21:40 - Anakin (to Obi-Wan and Palpatine):  "Strap yourselves in."  Han Solo uses this same expression in A New Hope:  "Go strap yourselves in; I'm gonna make the jump to lightspeed" [56:46].

24:38 - Anakin (to Obi-Wan):  "Alright, but you owe me one, and not for saving your skin for the tenth time."  Leia uses the same expression in A New Hope:  "Somebody has to save our skins" [1:18:22].

24:53 - Mace Windu:  "Chancellor Palpatine, are you alright?"  See above, 11:49.

25:12 - Palpatine (to Windu):  "And I assure you, the senate will vote to continue the war as long as Grievous is alive."  As Emperor, he uses this same expression while talking to Luke in Return of the Jedi:  "I assure you we are quite safe from your friends here" [1:32:08].  Qui-Gon also uses the expression in The Phantom Menace; after Queen Amidala says that Senator Palpatine fears the Trade Federation wants to destroy her, he replies, "I assure you I will not allow that to happen" [1:36:33].

26:12 - Anakin (after Padmé says, "There were whispers that you'd been killed"):  "I'm alright."  The circumstances are quite different, but Luke also says, "I'm alright" in A New Hope, after the scuffle in the cantina [47:21].

40:32 - Obi-Wan (to Mace, referring to Anakin):  "With all due respect, Master, is he not the chosen one?"  In The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's pilot uses the same expression:  "With all due respect, the ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately" [2:06].

41:35 - Anakin (after Padmé asks, "Have you ever considered that we may be on the wrong side [of the war]?"):  "What do you mean?"  Although the context is quite different, Vader also says, "What do you mean?" in A New Hope [51:32], after Tarkin suggests "an alternative form of persuasion."

42:19 - Padmé (to Anakin):  "Hold me."  Leia also says this to Han in Return of the Jedi [1:22:17].

43:44 - Palpatine (to his entourage at the opera):  "Leave us."  As Emperor, he also says this in Return of the Jedi:  "Guards, leave us" [1:30:55].

44:28 - Palpatine (to Anakin):  "Search your feelings.  You know, don't you?"  Vader says the same thing to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Search your feelings.  You know it to be true." [1:51:26].

50:03 - As he jumps onto a Separatist tank, one of the Wookiees gives a Tarzan-like yell, which Chewbacca also does while swinging onto an AT-ST in Return of the Jedi [1:45:39].

51:13 - Obi-Wan (to Anakin, as Obi-Wan leaves for Utapau):  "Goodbye, 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 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]).

53:46 - Padmé:  "I'm not gonna die in childbirth, Ani; I promise you."

Anakin:  "No, I promise you."

In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan also makes a promise to Anakin:  "You will be a Jedi, I promise" [2:07:43]

53:55 - This shot of Obi-Wan's starfighter exiting hyperspace, detaching from the hyperspace ring, and then flying to Utapau has the same basic composition and dynamic as the shot of his starfighter exiting hyperspace, detaching from the hyperspace ring, and then flying to Kamino in Attack of the Clones [40:54]:

57:30 - Obi-Wan (to Grievous):  "Hello there."  He greets R2 the same way in A New Hope [30:07].

1:07:28 - Obi-Wan (referring to the blaster he used to kill Grievous):  "So uncivilized."  It seems like this is meant to contrast with what he says about the lightsaber in A New Hope:  "An elegant weapon for a more civilized age" [33:47].

1:16:32 - Palpatine (to Anakin):  "The Force is strong with you."  In a Jedi counsel meeting in The Phantom Menace, Ki-Adi Mundi says, "The Force is strong with him," referring to Anakin [1:33:06].  In A New Hope, Vader also says this about Luke (although he doesn't know it's Luke specifically, just a rebel pilot):  "The Force is strong with this one" [1:55:41], and while talking to Vader in The Empire Strikes Back, Palpatine says, "The Force is strong with him," referring to Luke [53:46].

1:20:06 - The markings on the back of this battle droid bear a passing resemblance to 1138:

1:20:53 - Commander Cody (to a clone gunner, referring to Obi-Wan):  "Blast him!"  In A New Hope, Luke also yells this to Han, referring to the dianoga in the trash compactor:  "Blast it, will you!?" [1:20:38]

1:23:40 - Jedi youngling (referring to the clones executing Order 66 at the Jedi temple):  "Master Skywalker, there are too many of them."  In The Phantom Menace, Captain Panaka says this about battle droids ("There are too many of them" [23:25]), and in Return of the Jedi, a rebel pilot says this about TIE fighters ("There's too many of them" [1:35:13]).

1:24:00 - C-3PO (to Padmé, about Anakin):  "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright."  This is similar to what Obi-Wan says to R2 about Luke in A New Hope ("Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright" [30:17]) and what C-3PO says to R2 in The Empire Strikes Back ("Of course we'll see Master Luke again, and he'll be quite alright; you'll see!" [10:43] and "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45]).  Additionally, "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), A New Hope (Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12], and he tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (Luke tells R2, "Don't worry, R2.  We're going!  We're going!" [36:07], and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

1:24:35 - Clone trooper (to Bail Organa):  "Don't worry; the situation is under control."  For "don't worry" see above, 1:24:00.  Additionally, Han makes this same claim twice, once to an Imperial officer ("Uh, everything's under control, situation normal" [1:15:18]) and once to Leia ("I had everything under control till you led us down here" [1:19:37]).

1:27:59 - Padmé (to Anakin):  "Are you alright?"  See above, 11:49.

1:29:13 - Anakin (to Padmé):  "Things will be different; I promise."  See above 53:46.

1:31:44 - Captain Colton (to Senator Organa):  "We're receiving a message from the Chancellor's office, sir."  In The Phantom Menace, a Naboo crewman tells Captain Panaka via comlink, "Receiving a message from home" [37:23].

1:35:06 - Palpatine (addressing the senate):  "The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger!"  See above, 25:12.

1:36:59 - Obi-Wan (to Yoda, as they're leaving the Jedi temple):  "Wait, Master, there is something I must know."  Luke says something similar in Return of the Jedi when he asks Yoda about Vader:  "Yoda, I must know" [42:09].

1:38:44 - Obi-Wan (referring to Anakin):  "Padmé, I need your help.  He's in grave danger."  First, Queen Amidala says the same thing to Jar Jar in The Phantom Menace ("I need your help" [1:37:55]), and Obi-Wan says this to Luke in A New Hope ("I need your help, Luke.  She [Leia] needs your help." [36:03]).  Second, Yoda uses the same phrase in The Phantom Menace when he tells Obi-Wan:  "The chosen one the boy may be; nevertheless, grave danger I fear in his training" [2:06:38].

1:41:23 - Captain Typho (to Padmé):  "As you wish, my lady."  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].

1:44:39 - Anakin:  "I'm becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of."  In Attack of the Clones, Count Dooku says something similar:  "I've become more powerful than any Jedi" [2:08:30].

1:45:09 - Anakin (to Padmé):  "And together, you and I can rule the galaxy."  As Vader, he says something similar to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son" [1:51:45].

1:46:02 - Padmé (to Anakin):  "I love you!"  Leia says this to Han in The Empire Strikes Back [1:35:54], and Han says it to Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:03].

1:47:23 - Anakin (to Obi-Wan):  "Don't make me kill you."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Vader says almost the same thing (to Luke):  "Don't make me destroy you" [1:50:27].

1:55:11 - Clone trooper (speaking to the Emperor and referring to Yoda):  "There's no sign of the body, sir."  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].

1:59:23 - Anakin (to Obi-Wan):  "You underestimate my power."  In Return of the Jedi, as Vader, he says almost the same thing to Luke:  "You underestimate the power of the dark side" [1:50:07].

2:07:03 - Padmé (to Obi-Wan, about Anakin):  "There's good in him.  I know.  I know there's still-"  Luke says the same thing about him to Obi-Wan in Return of the Jedi:  "There is still good in him" [46:57].

2:09:21 - Obi-Wan (asking about Luke's future):  "And what of the boy?"  There are similarly constructed questions in A New Hope (General Tagge asks Tarkin, "And what of the rebellion?" [37:42]) and Return of the Jedi (Vader asks Palpatine, "What of the reports of the rebel fleet massing near Sullust?" [53:57]).

2:09:56 - Yoda (to Obi-Wan):  "An old friend has learned the path to immortality."  See above, 51:13.

2:13:33 - This shot of Owen, Beru, and Luke watching the sunset matches the shot of Luke watching the sunset in A New Hope [25:31]:

Attack of the Clones

6:24 - Chancellor Palpatine (to Padmé):  "I realize all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but perhaps someone you're familiar with, an old friend, like Mastor Kenobi."  The phrase "old friend" is also used 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]).

15:08 - Alien in traffic (seeing Obi-Wan hanging from a droid):  "What the?"  Han Solo also says this 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].

15:18 - An-other alien in traffic, also reacting to Obi-Wan:  "Jedi poodoo!"  Sebulba also says, "Poodoo!" in The Phantom Menace after his podracer crashes [1:09:20].

17:08 - Obi-Wan:  "Pull up, Anakin, pull up!"  Biggs gives this instruction to Luke and to Porkins in A New Hope ("Luke, pull up!" [1:46:42] and "Pull up!" [1:47:22]); and Lando says it in Return of the Jedi ("Pull up!  All craft, pull up!" [1:34:48]).

21:49 - Obi-Wan (to Anakin):  "Patience.  Use the Force.  Think."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda and Obi-Wan also counsel Luke with, "Patience!" [Yoda at 54:36 and 55:03; Obi-Wan at 1:24:18], and in Return of the Jedi, the Emperor advises Vader:  "Patience, my friend" [38:57].  Obi-Wan also says, "Use the Force, Luke" in A New Hope [1:55:32].

22:04 - Obi-Wan (to Anakin):  "Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?"  In A New Hope, his feeling proves to be true [1:32:21].

23:44 - Obi-Wan cuts off Zam Wesell's arm at the bar, which, depending on your point of view, either foreshadows or echoes what he does in the cantina in A New Hope [46:58].

34:55 - Cooking droid (to R2-D2):  "Hey, you, no droids!  Get out of here."  While the specific dialogue isn't very similar, this is the same antagonism shown to the droids in the cantina in A New Hope:  "Hey, we don't serve their kind here. ... Your droids, they'll have to wait outside; we don't want them here." [45:36].

36:06 - Yoda (to a group of Jedi younglings training with lightsabers):  "Reach out; sense the Force around you; use your feelings you must."  Obi-Wan gives similar advice to Luke as he's training with a lightsaber in A New Hope:  "Stretch out with your feelings" [1:01:57].

36:55 - Yoda (to the younglings):  "Clear your minds."  He also gives this instruction to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Clear your mind of questions" [1:02:13].

42:07 - Taun We (to Obi-Wan):  "Now, please, this way."  TC-14 gives a similar direction to Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in The Phantom Menace:  "This way, please" [2:45].

50:02 - Padmé:  "Ani, are you alright?"  In The Phantom Menace, Anakin asks Qui-Gon, "Are you alright?" [1:17:31] and Padmé asks Anakin, "You alright?" [1:19:06].  In A New Hope, Luke asks Obi-Wan, "Are you alright?" [59:16] and Biggs asks Luke [1:46:44], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke asks, "Rogue Two, are you alright?" [30:31].  Twice in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this with a shortened "You alright?" once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].  Luke also asks Han, "Are you alright?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:31].

57:35 - Obi-Wan (to Yoda and Mace Windu):  "I have a strong feeling that this bounty hunter is the assassin we're looking for."  This is similar to what he says to the Imperial troops in A New Hope:  "These aren't the droids you're looking for" [43:40].

59:17 - Anakin's pose here is the same as Vader's in The Empire Strikes Back [20:27]:

1:03:23 - Jango Fett hits his head on the door of Slave I as he enters.  In A New Hope, a stormtrooper also hits his head on a door in the Death Star [1:22:18].

1:08:22 - Obi-Wan:  "Blast!  This is why I hate flying!"  Luke says, "Blast!" twice in A New Hope:  after R2-D2 disappears ("Blast it!" [26:49]) and when a TIE fighter is behind him during the Battle of Yavin ("Blast it, Biggs, where are you?" [1:49:09]).

1:13:42 - Owen (to Anakin as he gets up to leave):  "Where are you going?"  In A New Hope, Beru asks Luke this, and they're even in the same location, the dining area of the moisture farm homestead [25:09].

1:21:22 - Yoda (sensing Anakin's slaughter of the Tusken raiders):  "Something terrible has happened."  This is also how Obi-Wan describes the destruction of Alderaan in A New Hope:  "I feel something terrible has happened" [59:27].  In the scene in Attack of the Clones and a bit later when Anakin tells Padmé what he's done, there are also brief quotations of the Imperial march.

1:26:05 - Anakin:  "I'm a Jedi."  The context is different, but Luke also says, "I am a Jedi" in Return of the Jedi [1:54:15].

1:27:54 - C-3PO (referring to R2):  "It seems that he is carrying a message from an Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Master Ani, does that name mean anything to you?"  In Return of the Jedi, Vader uses the same diction when Luke brings up the name Anakin:  "That name no longer has any meaning for me" [1:23:51].

1:31:02 - Count Dooku (upon seeing Obi-Wan imprisoned):  "Oh no, my friend.  This is a mistake, a terrible mistake; they've gone too far; this is madness."  C-3PO also exclaims, "This is madness!" in A New Hope [2:52].

1:33:07 - Dooku:  "You must join me, Obi-Wan, and together we will destroy the Sith!"

Obi-Wan:  "I will never join you, Dooku."

Vader makes a similar entreaty to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son" [1:51:45].  A bit earlier in the conversation, Luke's reply is the same as Obi-Wan's:  "I'll never join you!" [1:50:52]

1:35:40 - Anakin (after Padmé points out exhaust vents where they can land the ship):  "That'll do."  Han makes a similar comment, also about a landing spot, in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Yeah, that'll do nicely" [40:11].

1:36:02 - Anakin (to Padmé):  "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you."  "Don't worry" also appears in A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45]; Luke tells R2, "Don't worry, R2.  We're going!  We're going!" [36:07]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

1:42:30 - Jango (to battle droids, referring to Anakin):  "Take him away."  In The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray also commands, "Take him away," to a pair of battle droids, referring to Sio Bibble [1:18:19].

1:43:07 - Anakin (to Padmé):  "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 Solo asks, "What are you talkin' about?" [1:11:03].

1:45:57 - Anakin:  "I've got a bad feeling about this."

1:46:25 - Obi-Wan (to Anakin):  "Just relax.  Concentrate."  Yoda also advises Luke with "Concentrate" in The Empire Strikes Back [1:08:40 and 1:16:38].

1:49:27 - Dooku (to Gunray, referring to Padmé):  "Patience, Viceroy, patience; she will die."  See above, 21:49.

1:50:21 - Dooku (to Windu):  "Brave but foolish, my old Jedi friend."  See above, 6:24.

1:53:41 - C-3PO:  "I'm terribly sorry about all this!"  He uses the same expression in The Empire Strikes Back, apologizing to Lando about Chewbacca ("I'm terribly sorry about all this, after all, he's only a Wookiee" [1:42:41]) and in Return of the Jedi, when he runs into R2-D2 on Jabba's sail barge ("I'm terribly sorry" [30:49]).

1:56:03 - Dooku (after Windu refuses to surrender):  "Then, I'm sorry, old friend."  See above, 6:24.

2:02:03 - Yoda (to the clones):  "Concentrate all your fire on the nearest starship."  Admiral Ackbar gives a similar command in Return of the Jedi:  "Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer" [1:58:43].

2:05:54 - Clone trooper (to Padmé):  "Are you alright?"  See above, 50:02.

The Phantom Menace

In the opening crawl, the Jedi Knights are described as "the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy," which is taken verbatim from Obi-Wan's dialogue in A New Hope:  "For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic, before the dark times, before the Empire" [33:54].

3:05 - Obi-Wan:  "I have a bad feeling about this."

5:02 - Nute Gunray (after Sidious commands him to kill the Jedi):  "Yes, yes, my lord, uh, as you wish."  The phrase "as you wish" appears 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].

6:27 - Nute Gunray:  "Close the blast doors!"  A stormtrooper also says this in A New Hope [1:29:39].

23:25 - Captain Panaka (referring to the battle droids):  "There are too many of them."  A rebel pilot says basically the same thing in Return of the Jedi (referring to TIE fighters):  "There's too many of them" [1:35:13].

23:48 - Sio Bibble:  "Our only hope is for the senate to side with us."  Leia uses the phrase "only hope" twice in A New Hope ("Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope" [35:35] and "You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the attack; it's our only hope" [1:38:49]); C-3PO uses it once in The Empire Strikes Back ("Your highness, we must take this last transport; it's our only hope" [31:49]); Obi-Wan uses it once, referring to Luke, in Return of the Jedi ("You were our only hope" [47:24]); and Luke uses it once, referring to Leia, in Return of the Jedi ("If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance" [1:19:39]).

31:47 - Qui-Gon:  "I need parts for a J-type 327 Nubian."

35:30 - Qui-Gon:  "I'm sure another solution will present itself."  Perhaps coincidentally, this is somewhat similar to what Dr. Jones, Sr. says in The Last Crusade:  "I find that if I just sit down and think, the solution presents itself" [1:02:16].

39:03 (to Padmé) & 39:26 (to R2-D2) - C-3PO:  "I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations."  He introduces himself the same way to Luke in A New Hope ("And I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations" [20:25]) and to Lando in The Empire Strikes Back ("I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations" [1:21:31]).  He's about to say the same thing in Return of the Jedi, but EV-9D9 interrupts him, so he gets only as far as "I am C-3PO human-cy-" [11:21].

56:08 - Podrace announcer: "And back again it's the mighty Dud Bolt with that incredible racing machine, the Vulptereen 327."

1:17:31 - Anakin (to Qui-Gon):  "Are you alright?"

and

1:19:06 - Padmé (to Anakin):  "You alright?"

In A New Hope, Luke asks Obi-Wan, "Are you alright?" [59:16] and Biggs asks Luke [1:46:44], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke asks, "Rogue Two, are you alright?" [30:31].  Twice in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this with the shortened "You alright?" once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].  Luke also asks Han, "Are you alright?" when they're captured by Jabba in Return of the Jedi [28:31].

1:28:36 - Queen Amidala:  "I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee."  Han Solo uses a similar expression in The Empire Strikes Back:  "No time to discuss this in a committee!" [1:00:16].

1:33:06 - Ki-Adi Mundi (referring to Anakin):  "The Force is strong with him."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Palpatine, speaking to Vader, also says this about Luke [53:46].  Vader has a similar line in A New Hope when he says, "The Force is strong with this one" [1:55:41], also describing Luke, although unknowingly.

1:34:50 - Obi-Wan:  "It's not disrespect, Master; it's the truth."

Qui-Gon:  "From your point of view."

Qui-Gon's line resembles what Obi-Wan says to Luke in Return of the Jedi:  "So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view" [46:21].

1:36:33 - Qui-Gon (to Queen Amidala, after she says that Senator Palpatine fears the Trade Federation wants to destroy her):  "I assure you I will not allow that to happen."  The context is quite different, but Palpatine (as Emperor) also uses this expression while speaking to Luke in Return of the Jedi:  "I assure you we are quite safe from your friends here" [1:32:08].

1:37:55 - Queen Amidala (to Jar Jar):  "I need your help."  Obi-Wan also says this in A New Hope:  "I need your help, Luke.  She [Leia] needs your help." [36:03].

1:47:37 - Wilhelm scream (Naboo guard)

1:59:48 - Obi-Wan screams, "No!" after Darth Maul strikes down Qui-Gon, which is the same sort of situation as in A New Hope when Luke screams, "No!" after Darth Vader strikes down Obi-Wan [1:32:24]

2:00:19 - Battle droid (to Jar Jar and Captain Tarpals):  "Hands up!"  A storm trooper also says this to Han and Leia in Return of the Jedi [1:48:07].

2:03:31 - The battle droid next to Jar Jar has markings that appear to be 1138:

2:06:41 - There's a brief musical cue of the Imperial March as Yoda tells Obi-Wan that he fears "grave danger" in Anakin's training.

Return of the Jedi

2:59 - This shot of an Imperial shuttle entering a landing bay in the second Death Star has the same general framing as the Millennium Falcon entering a landing bay in the first Death Star in A New Hope [1:05:31]:

8:04 - C-3PO:  "R2, I have a bad feeling about this."

11:21 - C-3PO (to EV-9D9):  "I am C-3PO, human-cy-."  That's as far as he gets before being interrupted, but he introduces himself the same way to Luke in A New Hope ("And I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations" [20:25]) and to Lando in The Empire Strikes Back ("I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations" [1:21:31]).

21:55 - Han:  "I'm out of it for a little while, everybody gets delusions of grandeur."  C-3PO also uses this phrase in The Empire Strikes Back when he tells R2-D2:  "I'm standing here in pieces, and you're having delusions of grandeur" [1:59:01].

28:31 - Luke (to Han):  "Are you alright?"  In A New Hope, Luke asks Obi-Wan this [59:16] and Biggs asks Luke [1:46:44], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke asks, "Rogue Two, are you alright?" [30:31].  Twice in The Empire Strikes Back, Han asks this with a shortened "You alright?" once to Luke [22:12] and once to Leia [31:39].

28:48 - C-3PO:  "His high exaltedness, the great Jabba the Hutt has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately."  Referring to Leia, Tarkin gives the same command in A New Hope:  "Terminate her immediately" [1:03:05].

30:49 - C-3PO (after he runs into R2-D2 serving drinks on Jabba's sail barge):  "I'm terribly sorry."  He uses the same expression in The Empire Strikes Back, apologizing to Lando about Chewbacca:  "I'm terribly sorry about all this, after all, he's only a Wookiee" [1:42:41].

32:58 - Wilhelm scream (one of Jabba's guards as he falls into the Sarlacc pit)

34:21 - Han (after Lando says, "Lower it!" referring to a spear Han is holding out to him):  "I'm trying."  Leia gives the same response to Han in the trash compactor in A New Hope [1:23:41]; Han says, "Get on top of it," and Leia replies, "I'm trying!"

37:37 - Luke:  "I have a promise to keep, to an old friend."  The phrase "old friend" is also used in A New Hope (Leia sarcastically says, "We, uh, ran into some old friends" when Han asks her and Luke where they've been [1:31:33]) and in The Empire Strikes Back (Yoda says that through the Force, Luke will see "Old friends long gone" [1:17:05]).

38:57 - Emperor Palpatine (to Vader):  "Patience, my friend."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda and Obi-Wan also counsel Luke with, "Patience!" [Yoda at 54:36 and 55:03; Obi-Wan at 1:24:18].

39:16 - Vader (after Palpatine explains his plan to turn Luke to the dark side):  "As you wish."  In A New Hope, Vader says this after Tarkin asks him to release General Motti from his Force choke [38:45], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett says it after Vader warns the bounty hunters against disintegrations [1:06:22].

43:02 - Yoda (to Luke):  "Remember:  a Jedi's strength flows from the Force."  He also tells him this in The Empire Strikes Back:  "A Jedi's strength flows from the Force" [1:01:18], and it's similar to what Obi-Wan tells him in A New Hope:  "Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him" [1:00:50].

43:21 - Yoda (to Luke):  "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny."  He says nearly the same thing (also to Luke) in The Empire Strikes Back:  "If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny; consume you it will!" [1:01:31].

46:00 - Luke:  "Why didn't you tell me?  You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father."

Obi-Wan:  "Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force."

Some of these phrases exactly echo what Obi-Wan tells Luke in A New Hope:  "A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights.  He betrayed and murdered your father.  Now the Jedi are all but extinct.  Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force." [34:13].

47:24 - Obi-Wan (to Luke):  "You were our only hope."  Leia uses the phrase "only hope" twice in A New Hope ("Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope" [35:35] and "You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the attack; it's our only hope" [1:38:49]), and C-3PO uses it once in The Empire Strikes Back ("Your highness, we must take this last transport; it's our only hope" [31:49]).

53:02 - Han (referring to the stolen Imperial shuttle): "Chewie, let's see what this piece of junk can do." This is also how Luke describes the Millennium Falcon when he first sees it in A New Hope: "What a piece of junk!" [54:37].

53:57 - Vader (to Palpatine):  "What of the reports of the rebel fleet massing near Sullust?"  In A New Hope, General Tagge asks Tarkin a question with the same construction:  "And what of the rebellion?" [37:42].

54:04 - Emperor Palpatine: "Soon the rebellion will be crushed, and young Skywalker will be one of us." Tarkin uses a similar expression in A New Hope: "Now Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the rebel fortress by the time this station is operational; we will then crush the rebellion with one swift stroke" [38:52].

55:51 - Han (after Luke says, "I'm endangering the mission; I shouldn't have come"):  "It's your imagination, kid."  In A New Hope, he says almost the same thing ("That's your imagination" [1:19:49]) after Luke claims that there's something alive in the trash compactor.  He's wrong about both.

56:13 - Admiral Piett (to Vader):  "As you wish, my lord."  See above, 39:16.

1:05:38 - Scout trooper (after Wicket hits him with a stick):  "What the?"  Han Solo says this in A New Hope after emerging from hyperspace into a meteor shower [1:03:15].

1:07:38 - Vader (after Palpatine commands him to bring Luke to him):  "As you wish."  See above, 39:16.

1:11:53 - Han (to the Ewoks, referring to C-3PO):  "He's an old friend of mine."  As noted above, Leia uses the phrase "old friend" in A New Hope and Yoda uses it in The Empire Strikes Back.

1:12:40 - Han:  "I have a really bad feeling about this."

1:27:18 - Lando (to Nien Nunb, referring to Han):  "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time."  "Don't worry" also appears in A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]) and The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45]; Luke tells R2, "Don't worry, R2.  We're going!  We're going!" [36:07]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]).

1:33:51 - Imperial officer:  "You rebel scum."  In The Empire Strikes Back, Admiral Piett gives the same appraisal:  "Bounty hunters!?  We don't need their scum." [1:05:52]

1:34:20 - Wedge:  "Lock S-foils in attack positions."  Red Leader gives the same instruction in A New Hope:  "Lock S-foils in attack position" [1:45:38].

1:34:48 - Lando:  "Pull up!  All craft, pull up!"  Biggs gives this instruction to Luke and to Porkins in A New Hope ("Luke, pull up!" [1:46:42] and "Pull up!" [1:47:22]).

1:35:03 - Admiral Ackbar:  "It's a trap!"  Leia says this twice in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Luke, don't; it's a trap!  It's a trap!" [1:39:49].

1:37:06 - C-3PO (to the Imperial troops):  "Were you looking for me?"  This might be a reference to Obi-Wan's "These aren't the droids you're looking for" in A New Hope [43:40].

1:44:16 - Rebel pilot:  "I'm hit!"  In A New Hope, this is said by a Rebel pilot ("I'm hit!" [1:48:06]), Luke ("I'm hit, but not bad" [1:48:48]), and Wedge ("I'm hit!" [1:54:32]).

1:44:31 -  Palpatine (to Luke):  "There is no escape."   Vader also tells Luke this in The Empire Strikes Back [1:50:25].

1:48:03 - Han:  "I love you."

Leia:  "I know."

With reversed speakers, this exchange also occurs in The Empire Strikes Back [1:35:54].  Both scenes also have similar musical cues.

1:49:01 - Vader (to Luke):  "Obi-Wan has taught you well."  He also says this to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back [1:44:42].

The Empire Strikes Back

12:45 - C-3PO (to R2-D2):  "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright."  Obi-Wan says the same thing to R2 about Luke in A New Hope:  "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright" [30:17].  Additionally, Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12], and he tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]).

18:52 - General Rieekan: "Send Rogues 10 and 11 to Station 38."  This is a somewhat disguised occurrence of 1138.

22:12 - Han (to Luke):  "You alright?"  In A New Hope, Luke asks Obi-Wan, "Are you alright?" [59:16], and Biggs asks Luke [1:46:44].

23:09 - Darth Vader (after General Veers informs him of the Rebels' energy shield):  "The Rebels are alerted to our presence."  C-3PO uses the same expression in A New Hope when he tells Luke, "I said all systems have been alerted to your presence, sir" [1:17:49].

30:31 - Luke:  "Rogue Two, are you alright?" [30:31]

and

31:39 - Han (to Leia):  "You alright?"

See above (22:12)

31:49 - C-3PO (to Leia):  "Your highness, we must take this last transport; it's our only hope."  Leia uses the phrase "only hope" twice in A New Hope: "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope" [35:35] and "You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the attack; it's our only hope" [1:38:49].

36:07 - Luke:  "Don't worry, R2.  We're going!  We're going!"  See above (12:45)

41:09 - Luke (landing his X-wing on Dagobah):  "All the scopes are dead; I can't see a thing."  He makes the same comment in A New Hope about his stormtrooper disguise ("I can't see a thing in this helmet!" [1:13:17].

53:46 - Emperor Palpatine (talking to Vader, referring to Luke):  "The Force is strong with him."  In A New Hope, Vader also says this about Luke, although he doesn't know it's Luke specifically, just a rebel pilot:  "The Force is strong with this one" [1:55:41].

59:08 - Leia:  "I have a bad feeling about this."

1:00:41 - Han:  "This is no cave."  This may be intended as an echo of what Obi-Wan says about the Death Star in A New Hope:  "That's no moon; it's a space station" [1:04:25].

1:01:18 - Yoda:  "A Jedi's strength flows from the Force."  Obi-Wan tells Luke something similar in A New Hope:  "Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him" [1:00:50].

1:06:14 - Vader (addressing the bounty hunters):  "You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive, no disintegrations."

Boba Fett:  "As you wish."

Vader gives the same instruction to the stormtroopers aboard the Tantive IV in A New Hope ("Bring me the passengers; I want them alive!" [6:08]), and in A New Hope, he says, "As you wish" after Tarkin asks him to release General Motti from his Force choke [38:45].

1:07:09 - C-3PO (to Han):  "Sir, we just lost the main rear deflector shield.  One more direct hit on the back quarter, and we're done for."  He uses the same expression in A New Hope:  "You go on, Master Luke.  There's no sense in you risking yourself on my account; I'm done for." [32:20].

1:09:12 - Luke (after Yoda implies that he should use the Force to get his X-wing out of the swamp):  "Master, moving stones around is one thing; this is totally different!" [1:09:12].  Han's comment to Obi-Wan in A New Hope is somewhat similar:  "Look, good against remotes is one thing.  Good against the living?  That's something else."  [1:02:20].

1:10:48 - Yoda (speaking about the Force):  "Its energy surrounds us and binds us."  Obi-Wan similarly describes the Force in A New Hope:  "It's an energy field created by all living things.  It surrounds us and penetrates us.  It binds the galaxy together." [34:41].

1:14:52 - Leia:  "What'd you have in mind for your next move?"

Han:  "Well, if they follow standard Imperial procedure, they'll dump their garbage before they go to lightspeed, and then we just float away."

Leia:  "With the rest of the garbage."

Han also uses this expression in A New Hope when he says, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12].  "The rest of the garbage" might be a reference to Luke's initial reaction to the Millennium Falcon in A New Hope:  "What a piece of junk!" [54:37].

1:16:40 - Yoda (to Luke):  "Feel the Force flow."  An-other similarity to Obi-Wan's "Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him" in A New Hope [1:00:50].

1:16:58 - Yoda (to Luke):  "Through the Force, things you will see, other places.  The future, the past, old friends long gone."  Leia also uses the phrase "old friends," albeit sarcastically, in A New Hope; after Han asks her where she and Luke have been, she replies, "We, uh, ran into some old friends," referring to stormtroopers [1:31:33].

1:18:55 - Cloud City official:  "Permission granted to land on platform 327."

1:20:04 - Han (to Leia):  "Don't worry."  "Don't worry" also appears three times in A New Hope:  Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]).

1:21:31 - C-3PO (to Lando):  "I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations."  He introduces himself (to Luke) the same way in A New Hope:  "And I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations" [20:25].

1:21:41 - Lando (referring to the Millennium Falcon):  "You know that ship saved my life quite a few times.  She's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy."  An-other similarity to Luke's "What a piece of junk!" in A New Hope [54:37].

1:33:38 - Leia and Chewbacca help Han up from the floor, and simultaneously, there's an upward wipe as a transition to the next scene.  The same situation with the same transition occurs in A New Hope when Obi-Wan and Luke help C-3PO up after the Tusken raider attack [32:31].

1:44:03 - Vader:  "Your destiny lies with me, Skywalker.  Obi-Wan knew this to be true."  This may not be specifically what he means, but Obi-Wan does say something similar to Luke in A New Hope:  "Your destiny lies along a different path from mine" [1:09:53].

1:57:09 - Vader (to Admiral Piett):  "Prepare the boarding party, and set your weapons for stun." [1:57:09]  In A New Hope, a stormtrooper aboard the Tantive IV says, "Set for stun" [6:24].

A New Hope

This is the first in a series of posts about the references that the movies make to each other.  I'm going chronologically in terms of release date, and since A New Hope is the first movie, most of my notes are just elements that recur later.

1:04:34 - Luke:  "I have a very bad feeling about this."

1:05:26 - Death Star officer:  "Clear bay 327."

1:14:14 - Luke (trying to fool an Imperial officer after he asks where Luke and Han are taking Chewbacca):  "Prisoner transfer from cell block 1138."

1:15:07 - Han (to Luke):  "We gotta find out which cell this princess of yours is in.  Here it is:  2187."

1:21:27 - Han:  "I got a bad feeling about this."

1:28:33 - Wilhelm scream (stormtrooper)

The Clone Wars - S5E13 - "Point of No Return"

1:12 - WAC-47:  "I have got a bad feeling about this, Colonel."

11:28 - Colonel Gascon:  "It's a trap!"  Admiral Ackbar says, "It's a trap!" in Return of the Jedi [1:35:03], and Leia says it twice in The Empire Strikes Back [1:39:50].

12:44 - Colonel Gascon:  "BZ, magnetize!  Magnetize!"  In Revenge of the Sith, one of the Neimoidians on General Grievous's ship gives this same command to the battle droids:  "Magnetize!  Magnetize!" [16:33]

15:00 - Colonel Gascon:  "Good luck, R2."  In The Empire Strikes Back, an unidentified Rebel pilot wishes Luke good luck [36:02] and Luke wishes Lando good luck [2:00:09], and in Return of the Jedi, Han and Lando wish each other good luck [Han to Lando at 50:33 and Lando to Han at 52:21].

20:56 - Colonel Gascon (accompanied by a group of droids):  "R2-D2, are we glad to see you!"  Luke says something similar in A New Hope:  "Ben Kenobi?  Boy, am I glad to see you!" [30:35]

---

According to the trivia on the Star Wars website, "The display table seen at the strategy conference is an octagonal design inspired by the circular table seen in the Rebel base war room during the Battle of Yavin in Episode IV," but the room itself seems to be modelled on the briefing room seen in Return of the Jedi, with tiered seats surrounding the centrally located table:

The Clone Wars - S4E5 - "Mercy Mission"

The title comes from A New Hope, where Darth Vader says to Leia, "You weren't on any mercy mission this time" [7:47].

6:50 - Sinker:  "Comin' here was a bad idea."

Boost:  "I'm beginnin' to agree with ya."

In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke has the same response to R2's beeps:  "If you're sayin' comin' here was a bad idea, I'm beginnin' to agree with ya" [43:55].

8:38 - C-3PO:  "Impossible clones!"  He similarly describes Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Impossible man" [7:40].

10:00 - C-3PO:  "I have a bad feeling about this."

10:21 - C-3PO - "I suppose that could have been worse" and after rubble traps him and R2, "Now it is."  In A New Hope, there's a similar exchange in the trash compactor.  Leia says to Han, "It could be worse," and after an unsettling noise, he replies, "It's worse" [1:19:41].

12:04 - C-3PO (to R2 as bugs fly around him):  "Did you see that?"  Perhaps coincidentally, he asks a similar question (also to R2) at the beginning of A New Hope:  "Did you hear that?" [2:47].

12:39 - C-3PO (in response to a tree saying he does not belong):  "I heartily agree; being here is a terrible mistake."  He uses the same expression in A New Hope after Luke suggests he wait outside by the speeder and says they want to avoid trouble in the cantina:  "I heartily agree with you, sir" [45:45].

17:01 - C-3PO:  "R2, we're doomed."  He also says "We're doomed" twice (both times to R2) in A New Hope [3:04, 16:02], once (to Han, Leia, and Chewbacca) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:00:38], and once (to R2) in Return of the Jedi [10:03].

17:47 - C-3PO:  "Riddles are my specialty."  He pronounces "specialty" with five syllables, just like Obi-Wan does in Revenge of the Sith when he tells Palpatine, "Sith Lords are our specialty" [12:14].

The Clone Wars - S3E6 - "The Academy"

5:32 - Cadet Lagos:  "I have a bad feeling about this."

17:01 - Satine:  "Ashoka, it's a trap."  Admiral Ackbar says, "It's a trap!" in Return of the Jedi [1:35:03], and Leia says it twice in The Empire Strikes Back [1:39:50].

17:25 - Almec:  "Set for stun."  In A New Hope, one of the stormtroopers aboard the Tantive IV also says this [6:24], and in The Empire Strikes Back, it's part of Vader's instructions to Admiral Piett:  "Prepare the boarding party, and set your weapons for stun" [1:57:09].

The Clone Wars - S2E19 - "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back"

The title of this episode is a nod to that of The Empire Strikes Back.

14:47 - C-3PO:  "We're doomed."  He also says this twice in A New Hope [3:04, 16:02], once in The Empire Strikes Back [1:00:38], and once in Return of the Jedi [10:03].

15:32 - Palpatine:  "I've got a bad feeling about this."

16:31 - Anakin:  "Here's where the fun begins."  Han Solo says this in A New Hope [56:26], and Anakin has a similar line in Revenge of the Sith:  "This is where the fun begins" [3:48].

The Clone Wars - S2E18 - "The Zillo Beast"

1:46 - Chancellor Palpatine:  "This bomb is our only hope for victory now."  Leia uses the phrase "only hope" twice in A New Hope ("Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope" [35:35] and "You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the attack; it's our only hope" [1:38:49]); C-3PO uses it once in The Empire Strikes Back ("Your highness, we must take this last transport; it's our only hope" [31:49]); Obi-Wan uses it once, referring to Luke, in Return of the Jedi ("You were our only hope" [47:24]); and Luke uses it once, referring to Leia, in Return of the Jedi ("If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance" [1:19:39]). Sio Bibble also uses it in The Phantom Menace: "Our only hope is for the senate to side with us" [23:48].

8:47 - Mace Windu:  "I have a bad feeling about this."

9:42 - Wilhelm scream (clone trooper)

10:01 - Mace Windu (to clone troopers as Anakin distracts the Zillo Beast):  "Now's our chance; let's go!"  Han Solo has a similar line in A New Hope, when the lightsaber duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi distracts the stormtroopers on the Death Star:  "Now's our chance; go!" [1:32:02].

The Clone Wars - S2E11 - "Lightsaber Lost"

1:58 - Ahsoka:  "I, I was checking out a suspect.  I had a bad feeling about him."

2:44 - Ahsoka:  "He [Anakin] tells me over and over, 'Your lightsaber is your life; don't lose it.'"  In Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan tells Anakin, "This weapon is your life" [21:59].

2:51 - A file in the Jedi library shows a woman who later appears in the cantina in A New Hope [first in a wide shot at 45:04, then in a closer shot at 45:40].  According to the trivia for this episode on the Star Wars website, this is Brea Tonnika.

21:17 - Master Sinube (to Ahsoka):  "Pass on what you have learned."  Yoda also says this (to Luke) in Return of the Jedi [44:11].

21:45 - Ahsoka (to a group of younglings):  "This weapon is your life, but it is also your responsibility.   Don't let it out of your sight."  An-other reference to Obi-Wan's "This weapon is your life" in Attack of the Clones.

The Clone Wars - S2E8 - "Brain Invaders"

5:12 - Barriss Offee:  "Master Windu has said we are keepers of the peace, not warriors."  Barriss refers to a meeting between Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi (including herself) in Attack of the Clones where Mace Windu says, "We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers" [4:49].

6:06 - Clone pilot (after other clones point blasters at him):  "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].

11:50 - Ahsoka: "I have a bad feeling about this, Master Fisto."

12:42 - Ahsoka (to Rex):  "Boy, am I glad to hear your voice."  Luke says something similar in A New Hope:  "Ben Kenobi?  Boy, am I glad to see you!" [30:35]

14:06 - Anakin (to the clone troopers guarding Poggle the Lesser):  "Leave us."  Palpatine has similar lines 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].

18:28 - Ahsoka directs the exhaust from a hose at Barriss, similar to what Luke does to Vader in The Empire Strikes Back [1:44:37].

---

There are brief cues of the Imperial March at 5:49 when Ahsoka talks about Anakin's future and at 14:02 when Anakin goes to interrogate Poggle.

The Clone Wars - S2E7 - "Legacy of Terror"

11:10 - Anakin (about the Geonosian mind control):  "That can't be true.  That's impossible."  Luke says something similar when Vader tells him about his father in The Empire Strikes Back:  "That's not true.  That's impossible." [1:51:21]

13:45 - Anakin:  "I've got a bad feeling about this."

The Clone Wars - S1E18 - "Mystery of a Thousand Moons"

5:36 - Anakin:  "Obi-Wan and I can handle it."  This has some similarity to Obi-Wan's "Anakin and I can handle this" in Attack of the Clones [2:03:07].

12:34 - Obi-Wan:  "Those are the roots we're looking for."  He uses the same expression in Attack of the Clones ("I have a strong feeling that this bounty hunter is the assassin we're looking for" [57:35] and in A New Hope ("These aren't the droids you're looking for" [43:40]).

12:45 - Obi-Wan:  "I have a bad feeling about this."

The Clone Wars - S1E17 - "Blue Shadow Virus"

1:53 - C-3PO (as a tactical droid's head is being cut open):  "I'm getting a bad feeling about this."

The Clone Wars - S1E10 - "Lair of Grievous"

0:27 - Narrator:  "With the help of Count Dooku's sinister agents, the villainous Viceroy has made a daring getaway."  "Sinister agents" is a phrase from the opening crawl of A New Hope:  "Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...."

4:38 - Battle droid (referring to the Jedi):  "Don't even think about it, Republic dogs!"  In Attack of the Clones, C-3PO (with his head attached to a battle droid's body), uses a similar expression:  "Die, Jedi dogs!"  [1:53:27]

9:20 - Nahdar (to Grievous): "Don't make me destroy you."  Vader also says this (to Luke) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:50:27].

10:41 - A-4D (Grievous' doctor):  "You're a walking scrap pile."  This is something of an exaggerated assessment of Grievous' condition, so the situation isn't the same, but in A New Hope, C-3PO insultingly calls R2-D2 a "nearsighted scrap pile" [9:56].

13:09 - Nahdar: "I have a bad feeling about this."

The Clone Wars - S1E8 - "Bombad Jedi"

1:45 - Jar Jar:  "Looky, looky, this-a swamp planet just like home."  He also uses this expression in Attack of the Clones when he announces Obi-Wan and Anakin's arrival to Padmé:  "Looky, looky, Senator, desa Jedi arrivin'" [8:01].

4:27 - Nute Gunray (to battle droids):  "Take her away!"

Padmé:  "Please, Uncle Ono, don't do this."

In The Phantom Menace, Gunray gives nearly the same command to a pair of battle droids, referring to Sio Bibble:  "Take him away" [1:18:19], and in Attack of the Clone, Jango Fett says, "Take him away" to battle droids, referring to Anakin [1:42:30].

Although the context is different, Padmé also says, "Don't do this" (to Anakin) in Revenge of the Sith:  "Don't do this; don't shut me out; let me help you" [42:12].

4:46 - C-3PO (after a swamp creature makes a flatulance noise):  "How rude!"  Jar Jar also says this after an-other Gungan shocks him when he returns to Otoh Gunga in The Phantom Menace [14:44].

7:18 - C-3PO (thinking Jar Jar died):  "What a horrible way to die, and it's all my fault."  He similarly blames himself in A New Hope, when he thinks that Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca are dying in the trash compactor:  "It's all my fault!" [1:24:42].

8:30 - Jar Jar:  "Meesa doin' nothing."  He also claims this in The Phantom Menace, after getting mixed up with Sebulba:  "But, but, but meesa doin' nothin'" [37:05].

8:39 - C-3PO (to Jar Jar):  "Our only hope is to hide in this closet until Mistress Padmé returns."  Leia uses the phrase "only hope" twice in A New Hope ("Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope" [35:35] and "You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the attack; it's our only hope" [1:38:49]); C-3PO uses it once in The Empire Strikes Back ("Your highness, we must take this last transport; it's our only hope" [31:49]); Obi-Wan uses it once, referring to Luke, in Return of the Jedi ("You were our only hope" [47:24]); and Luke uses it once, referring to Leia, in Return of the Jedi ("If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance" [1:19:39]). Sio Bibble also uses it in The Phantom Menace: "Our only hope is for the senate to side with us" [23:48].

9:43 - C-3PO - "I have a very bad feeling about this."

10:32 - C-3PO (after a battle droid spots him and Jar Jar): "We're doomed." He also says "We're doomed" twice (both times to R2) in A New Hope [3:04, 16:02], once (to Han, Leia, and Chewbacca) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:00:38], and once (to R2) in Return of the Jedi [10:03].

10:41 - C-3PO:  "Don't shoot; we surrender; we surrender!"  He says both of these things in the original trilogy, too:  "Don't shoot!  Don't shoot!" to Jawas in A New Hope [16:27] and "We surrender" to stormtroopers in Return of the Jedi [1:37:27].

11:14 - Nute Gunray (to battle droids, referring to C-3PO):  "And take that Republic droid scum to the dismantling center."  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]).

12:23 - Battle droid:  "Alright, cut the chatter.  I want you troops to go outside and secure the perimeter."  Red Leader uses this same expression in A New Hope:  "Cut the chatter, Red Two" [1:45:55].

13:13 - C-3PO:  "I am a protocol droid, fluent in over six million forms of-"  He's interrupted by a battle droid, just as he is twice in Return of the Jedi ("I am fluent in over six million forms of communication and can readily-" interrupted by EV-9D9 [11:29] and "I am fluent in over six million forms of co-" interrupted by Han [1:11:10]).  He does get to say the whole thing in The Empire Strikes Back:  "I am fluent in six million forms of communication" [18:38]).

13:25 - C-3PO:  "Mistress Padmé, oh, thank the Maker you're safe."  He uses the same expression in A New Hope:  "Thank the Maker!  This oil bath is going to feel so good." [19:41]

15:00 - Senator Farr (after his aide says something in an-other language):  "I know!  I know!"  Luke also exclaims, "I know!  I know!" as he tries to land on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back [41:07].

15:08 - Senator Farr (referring to the supposed Jedi):  "He is our only hope."  See above, 8:39.

17:00 - Battle droid (after Padmé shoots down an-other battle droid):  "What the?"  In Attack of the Clones, an alien on Coruscant also exclaims, "What the?" 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].

17:35 - C-3PO (introducing himself to a clone, who interrupts him):  "I am C-3PO, human-cyborg-"  He uses the same phrase when he introduces himself to Padmé and to R2-D2 in The Phantom Menace ("I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations" [39:03 and 39:26]), to Luke in A New Hope ("And I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations" [20:25]), and to Lando in The Empire Strikes Back ("I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations" [1:21:31]).  He's about to say the same thing in Return of the Jedi, but EV-9D9 also interrupts him, so he gets only as far as "I am C-3PO human-cy-" [11:21].

17:47 - Battle droid (to C-3PO):  "You're under arrest."  A battle droid also says this to Qui-Gon in The Phantom Menace [24:37].

18:29 - Senator Farr (as Gunray is about to execute Padmé):  "Don't do this, Viceroy."  See above, 4:27.

18:40 - C-3PO:  "I am a protocol droid on a diplomatic-."  He's interrupted by Gunray, but it seems that he was about to say "on a diplomatic mission."  This phrase appears at least twice in A New Hope:  Captain Antilles tells Vader that "We're on a diplomatic mission" [5.55], and later Leia tells him, "I'm a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan" [7:58].  Near the beginning of her conversation with Vader, Leia is similarly interrupted when she says, "When they hear you've attacked a diplomatic-" [7:43].

20:16 - Gunray (after Padmé claims that Senator Farr never intended to leave the Republic):  "What is she talking about?"  A similar 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].

20:21 - Senator Farr (to Gunray):  "I am with the Republic, and you are under arrest."  See above, 17:47.

20:53 - Clone trooper (referring to Gunray):  "Take this Separatist scum away."  See above, 11:14.

21:40 - Padmé (to Senator Farr):  "It is the Republic that should be asking your forgiveness, 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]).

The swamp monster (Kwazel Maw, according to the Star Wars website) seems to be based on Ralph McQuarrie concept art for Dagobah:

The Clone Wars - S1E7 - "Duel of the Droids"

8:52 - General Grievous:  "I will deal with the Jedi myself."  Grievous uses "Jedi" generically here (he doesn't yet know what specific Jedi have invaded his station), but in Revenge of the Sith, he says, "I will deal with this Jedi slime myself," referring to Obi-Wan Kenobi.  He also has a similar line in "Destroy Malevolence," again referring to Kenobi.  In Return of the Jedi, Vader says, "I will deal with them myself," referring to the Rebel strike force [56:10].

16:19 - Captain Rex:  "I've got a bad feeling about this, sir."
