* ''Series/{{Andor}}'':
** Luthen predicts that whenever and however Cassian dies, it's going to be while spitting in the Empire's face. The audience already knows from ''Film/RogueOne'' that this is true.
** Jung and Partagaz mention security arrangements for shipments of construction materials headed for Scarif, the location of the climax of ''Film/RogueOne'' and Cassian's eventual final resting place.
** Mon Mothma mentions how some of the guests invited to her and her husband's FancyDinner were responsible for starving the peoples of other worlds, with the Ghormans being one of them. Later on in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', the Imperial attacks against the Ghormans would ultimately be the impetus for Mon Mothma resigning from the Imperial Senate and joining the Rebel Alliance full-time.
** Nemik says that it's easier for the Empire to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident. As it would happen years later, the beginning of the end for the Empire would happen not after two decades of constant degradation into a totalitarian and tyrannical regime, [[Film/ANewHope but when the Empire commits planetary genocide on Alderaan]].
** Nemik's last words are to tell Cassian to "climb"- the same command a dying [[Film/RogueOne K-2SO]] would tell him years later.
** When Mon Mothma figures out Luthen pulled the Aldhani heist as part of a BatmanGambit to get the Empire riled up and start clamping down on everyone's rights to give the Rebels more reason to fight back, she's horrified at such a dubious tactic. Come ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', this will be her same position on Saw Gerrera and his partisans for their more extremist methods in fighting The Empire.
** Admiral Yularen is shown as the head of the ISB, the same position he occupies during ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', which takes place at roughly the same time as this show.
** In "[[Recap/AndorS1E9NobodysListening Nobody's Listening]]" when Dr. Gorst is torturing Bix, there is a shot of the door shutting and an Imperial officer walking away, with the camera focusing on the officer's boots. It is shot to be reminiscent of the similar scene in ''Film/ANewHope'' when Darth Vader tortures Princess Leia.
** In "[[Recap/AndorS1E10OneWayOut One Way Out]]" Cassian tells Kino that he would rather die attempting to take the Empire down than not. He will meet his end helping to deal the Empire their biggest blow prior to their own end in ''Film/RogueOne''.
** A TIE Reaper like the one that deployed the Death Troopers at the [[Film/RogueOne Battle of Scarif]], where both Andor and Melshi will die, is patrolling while the same pair are still on Narkina.
** The last shot of the episode "[[Recap/AndorS1E11DaughterOfFerrix Daughter of Ferrix]]" is Cassian standing on a beach on Niamos alone with the sun gleaming on the horizon before him, shot in such a way that is very similar to [[Film/RogueOneAStarWarsStory the massive explosion caused by the Death Star firing on Scarif, with Cassian and Jyn awaiting their final fate together on a beach there.]]

** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E16CatAndMouse "Cat and Mouse"]]:
--->'''Obi-Wan:''' Anakin, I've got enough problems without you becoming one of them.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E1CloneCadets "Clone Cadets"]]: Fives and Echo go to Shaak Ti and ask to be transferred to a different squad, a request she denies. The later-set [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E5Rookies "Rookies"]] already established that the two of them are the only members of Domino Squad to survive the battle of the Rishi moon and join the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-].
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E4DestroyMalevolence "Destroy Malevolence"]]: In what is indicated to be their first meeting, General Grievous jumps down behind Obi-Wan and says "Hello there", just as Obi-Wan will do to him in their last meeting in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E13JediCrash "Jedi Crash"]]: Anakin is briefly incapacitated by an explosion and placed on life support in a Republic cruiser. While he's hooked up to a respirator, the sound effect is the iconic VaderBreath.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E18MysteryOfAThousandMoons "Mystery of a Thousand Moons"]]: Anakin and Obi-Wan have to contend with a defence system left behind by the Separatists in the moons of Iego that strongly resembles the Death Star's superlaser and is likely a prototype of it.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E19StormOverRyloth "Storm Over Ryloth"]]: The ''Resolute'' is hit in the bridge by a droid fighter, which is similar to how the ''Executor'' will be hit by a Rebel A-Wing in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. Admiral Yularen even reacts in the same way as Admiral Piett. Unlike the ''Executor'', both the ''Resolute'' and Admiral Yularen survive the impact. Coincidentally, both ships happened to be under the command of Anakin/Vader.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E20InnocentsOfRyloth "Innocents of Ryloth"]]: Obi-Wan drops his lightsaber during the run-in with the gutkurrs and Commander Cody returns it to him afterwards, exactly as he will do on Utapau shortly before the execution of [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Order 66]].
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E3ChildrenOfTheForce "Children of the Force"]] has an easily overlooked one: Anakin remarks that they tore apart a ship belonging to a bounty hunter named Cad Bane in search of vital information on board. One of Vader's first lines in ''Film/ANewHope'' is "Commander, tear this ship apart!"
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E19TheZilloBeastStrikesBack "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back"]]: When it turns out that Anakin has improvised a plan to escape the Zillo Beast's clutches by cutting the Chancellor's escape ship in half, sending the front half falling, Captain Rex comments that "A lot of the General's plans involve falling," nodding to a moment in the earlier but later-set episode [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E5LandingAtPointRain "Landing at Point Rain"]] where Anakin and Ahsoka telekinetically drop Rex off a wall they're about to blow up.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E7LegacyOfTerror "Legacy of Terror"]]: Anakin says "That can't be true. That's impossible!" concerning [[OurZombiesAreDifferent undead Geonosians]]. [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Decades later]], Luke says nearly the same thing when Vader tells him that he (Vader) is his father.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E8BrainInvaders "Brain Invaders"]]:
*** The main plot of the episode is that a squad of clone troopers is infected by {{Puppeteer Parasite}}s and wind up attacking the Jedi on their ship, which is just like the execution of [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Order 66]].
---->"If there's one thing we clones know, it's how to stop a Jedi."
*** Ahsoka, talking with Barriss about what might happen when the war ends, mentions that she might find Anakin's views on the future "a bit radical", and that she has no idea how peacetime will even agree with him. When she says that last part, a bar of the Imperial March is heard.
*** Anakin has to interrogate the Geonosian leader Poggle to learn how to get rid of a certain batch of mind-controlling worms. Poggle proves uncooperative, and Anakin starts to ForceChoke him; cue the Imperial March, foreshadowing Anakin's impending transformation into Darth Vader.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E10TheDeserter "The Deserter"]]: While talking with Cut, Rex lays out exactly why he stays in the army by saying this (let's just say he won't have to ''imagine'' it...):
--->"Because I'm part of the most pivotal moment in the history of the Republic. If we fail, then our children and their children could be forced to live under [[TheEmpire an evil]] I can't well imagine."
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E13VoyageOfTemptation "Voyage of Temptation"]]: Traitorous Senator Tal Merrik is threatening to blow up Duchess Satine's ship, and has put TechnicalPacifist Obi-Wan and ActualPacifist Satine in a bind regarding how they'll deal with him, because as Merrik points out, if Obi-Wan kills him he'll be a hero to everyone on the ''Coronet'' except [[BelligerentSexualTension Satine]], and if Satine kills him she'll be considered a {{hypocrite}} who's abandoned all of her pacifist ideals. Then:
--->'''Merrik:''' Who'll strike first and brand themselves a cold-blooded killer?\\
''[Anakin's lightsaber emerges through Merrik's torso, and a few bars of the [[{{Leitmotif}} "Imperial March"]] play]''
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E15Overlords "Overlords"]]: Ahsoka has a vision of a future version of herself warning of the darkness in Anakin and who claims that Ahsoka will "never see [her] future" if she remains Anakin's student.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E16AltarOfMortis "Altar of Mortis"]]: During Anakin's duel with a possessed Ahsoka, he disarms her the same way Vader will do to Luke in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E17GhostsOfMortis "Ghosts of Mortis"]]:
*** The Son, AnthropomorphicPersonification of {{the Dark Side}}, gives Anakin a preview of his future. The highlights include [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith the attack on the Jedi Temple, Force-choking Padmé]], and [[Film/ANewHope the destruction of Alderaan]], ending with Vader's helmet and some of that [[VaderBreath distinctive breathing]]. Anakin is appropriately horrified. The Father later erases Anakin's memory of this.
*** As a result of the above vision, Anakin turns to the Dark Side in an attempt to prevent it. Obi-Wan, trying to save him, confronts him at the Well of the Dark Side — an island in a river of lava that is reminiscent of Mustafar.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E18TheCitadel "The Citadel"]]:
*** Anakin's plan for getting past the titular prison's lifeform detectors is to [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack carbon-freeze the entire infiltration team]]. Fives' apprehensive reaction to the carbon freezer takes it home:
---->'''Fives:''' Are we sure this thing is safe? [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi I don't wanna end up a wall decoration.]]
*** The Nexus Route, which everyone is after the coordinates of, is a secret hyperspace route that the Separatists could potentially use to [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith surprise-attack Coruscant]].
** During [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E18TheCitadel the]] [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E19Counterattack Citadel]] [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E20CitadelRescue arc]], Anakin meets Captain ''Tarkin'' and befriends him. When they shake hands at the end, a few bars of the Imperial March play.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E9PlanOfDissent "Plan of Dissent"]]: The conversation over the comms when Fives tries to bluff Krell that there's nothing going on in the hangar is reminiscent of [[Film/ANewHope Han Solo's attempt at doing the same on the Death Star]], complete with Krell demanding the trooper's operating number.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E10CarnageOfKrell "Carnage of Krell"]]: General Krell is [[EvilAllAlong revealed]] to be a traitor and Rex and the rest of the clone troopers have to try and arrest him in a sequence that is ''strongly'' reminiscent of the execution of Order 66 — albeit with the twist that Krell is genuinely evil and the clone troopers are acting in their right minds and not being brainwashed. In addition, when Rex confronts Krell in the control room, Krell states, "It's treason, then?" before tearing into his would-be captors, much like Palpatine will do in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E13EscapeFromKadavo "Escape from Kadavo"]]: Queen Miraj Scintel's death scene is intentionally reminiscent of Anakin/Vader's death scene in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. She even dies in Anakin's arms, and her last words include "You were right."
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E18CrisisOnNaboo "Crisis on Naboo"]]: Anakin and Palpatine enter a dining room only to find Count Dooku waiting for them, similar to something Anakin himself will pull in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E2AWarOnTwoFronts "A War on Two Fronts"]]: Anakin finds Steela's marksmanship [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack "Impressive. Most impressive."]]
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E18TheJediWhoKnewTooMuch "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much"]]:
*** Tarkin entering Ahsoka's cell is framed the same way as his entering Princess Leia's cell in ''Film/ANewHope''. He also holds Ahsoka's chin in much the same way he will hold Leia's.
*** The ending is very similar to the climax of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'': both involve Anakin/Vader trying to convince someone he cares about to go with him, only for that person to throw themselves into the deep instead.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E11Voices "Voices"]]: Yoda, on the advice of the disembodied Force ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn, visits the planet [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Dagobah]], and enters the same Dark Side cave where he will send Luke in about 22 years. In said cave, Yoda has visions pertaining to Order 66. And R2-D2, who came along with him, is rather creeped out to be left alone while Yoda goes on his quest, nodding to his dislike of the planet in ''TESB''.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E13Sacrifice "Sacrifice"]]:
*** Darth Sidious, in an attempt to break Yoda, makes him have a vision involving him and Anakin, accompanied by clone troopers, attacking the AbandonedWarehouse where Dooku and Sidious meet occasionally on Coruscant. In said vision, Anakin kills Dooku the same way he will in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', by scissoring his and Dooku's lightsabers at the man's neck.
*** When Yoda wakes up on Korriban/Moraband after the vision, and talks to the Serene Priestess, as she fades away the sound of the Skywalker twins' birth and VaderBreath are heard. The priestess' last words? "ThereIsAnother... Skywalker."
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E5GoneWithATrace "Gone With a Trace"]]:
*** Ahsoka rides a Joben T-85 speeder bike, the same model Kanan will regularly use on ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''. And when the bike breaks down, she calls it "{{What a piece|OfJunk}} [[Film/ANewHope of junk!]]"
*** Pintu Son-El, the guy Rafa owes money to, is the same species as [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E13TheCall Boss Yushyn]].
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E6DealNoDeal "Deal No Deal"]]:
*** Admiral Yularen's transmission to the ''Silver Angel'' after Trace accidentally flies into military airspace is, for the second time in the series, reminiscent of Han's bluffing over the comms in the Death Star in ''Film/ANewHope''. Here, Yularen demands the number of Trace's pilot's licence.
*** Anakin sensing Ahsoka aboard the ''Angel'' and allowing it to pass is similar to him, as Vader, sensing Luke aboard a stolen Imperial shuttle in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', complete with him being asked for confirmation on whether to stop the vessel or not. It also serves as a contrast to the scene in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsTheSiegeOfLothal "The Siege of Lothal"]] where Ahsoka and Vader recognize each other.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E7DangerousDebt "Dangerous Debt"]]:
*** Ahsoka's Force-powered jump over the Martez sisters' heads and a retractable bridge is reminiscent of Kanan's epic leap in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E10GhostsOfGeonosis "Ghosts of]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E11GhostsOfGeonosisPartII Geonosis"]].
*** Ahsoka Force-pulling several Pyke guards out from cover so Trace and Rafa can shoot them is reminiscent of Kanan doing the same for Rex in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E07StealthStrike "Stealth Strike"]].
*** Bo-Katan is accompanied by Sabine's mother Ursa Wren.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E1TheBadBatch "The Bad Batch"]]:
*** [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Fyrnocks]] can be seen wandering the woods in the background of the "campfire" scene.
*** Two battle droids who get ambushed by Rex and Jesse have very... [[Film/ANewHope familiar]] dialogue:
---->'''Battle Droid #1:''' Do you know what's going on?\\
'''Battle Droid #2:''' Maybe it's another drill.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E2ADistantEcho "A Distant Echo"]]:
*** During their holo-call, Anakin and Padmé discuss the progress of the Outer Rim Sieges, a campaign that's still going on in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. Also, Anakin looks briefly panicked and angry when Obi-Wan lets him know he knows he was talking to Padmé afterwards.
*** This is [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E07StealthStrike not the last time]] Rex will have reason to comment about someone's lack of stealth on a mission with "SoMuchForStealth".
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E3OnTheWingsOfKeeradaks "On the Wings of Keeradaks"]]: In a FreezeFrameBonus for those who read Aurebesh, Tech's collection of creature recordings that he scrolls through on his visor includes [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E15TheHonorableOnes bonzami]] and [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E13TheCall purrgil]].
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E4UnfinishedBusiness "Unfinished Business"]]:
*** Trench's [[EarthShatteringKaboom planet-busting bomb]] is deactivated just in time, but fans of ''Rebels'' will recall that Fort Anaxes, the main Republic base in this story, was [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E05OutOfDarkness first]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E07GatheringForces introduced]] as a fyrnock-infested ruin on a planetoid in an AsteroidThicket…
*** The entirety of Anakin's confrontation with Trench hints at his upcoming fall to the Dark Side, including claiming that he no longer has "weaknesses" like being noble, all capped off by the Emperor's theme playing in the background.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E16CatAndMouse "Cat and Mouse"]]:
--->'''Obi-Wan:''' Anakin, I've got enough problems without you becoming one of them.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E1CloneCadets "Clone Cadets"]]: Fives and Echo go to Shaak Ti and ask to be transferred to a different squad, a request she denies.

** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E10CarnageOfKrell "Carnage of Krell"]]: General Krell is [[EvilAllAlong revealed]] to be a traitor and Rex and the rest of the clone troopers have to try and arrest him in a sequence that is ''strongly'' reminiscent of the execution of Order 66 — albeit with the twist that Krell is genuinely evil and the clone troopers are acting in their right minds and not being brainwashed. In addition, when Rex confronts Krell in the control room, Krell states, "It's treason, then?" before tearing into his would-be captors, much like Palpatine will do in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E13EscapeFromKadavo "Escape from Kadavo"]]: Queen Miraj Scintel's death scene is intentionally reminiscent of Anakin/Vader's death scene in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. She even dies in Anakin's arms, and her last words include "You were right."
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E18CrisisOnNaboo "Crisis on Naboo"]]: Anakin and Palpatine enter a dining room only to find Count Dooku waiting for them, similar to something Anakin himself will pull in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E2AWarOnTwoFronts "A War on Two Fronts"]]: Anakin finds Steela's marksmanship [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack "Impressive. Most impressive."]]
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E18TheJediWhoKnewTooMuch "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much"]]:
*** Tarkin entering Ahsoka's cell is framed the same way as his entering Princess Leia's cell in ''Film/ANewHope''. He also holds Ahsoka's chin in much the same way he will hold Leia's.
*** The ending is very similar to the climax of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'': both involve Anakin/Vader trying to convince someone he cares about to go with him, only for that person to throw themselves into the deep instead.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E11Voices "Voices"]]: Yoda, on the advice of the disembodied Force ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn, visits the planet [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Dagobah]], and enters the same Dark Side cave where he will send Luke in about 22 years. In said cave, Yoda has visions pertaining to Order 66. And R2-D2, who came along with him, is rather creeped out to be left alone while Yoda goes on his quest, nodding to his dislike of the planet in ''TESB''.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E13Sacrifice "Sacrifice"]]:
*** Darth Sidious, in an attempt to break Yoda, makes him have a vision involving him and Anakin, accompanied by clone troopers, attacking the AbandonedWarehouse where Dooku and Sidious meet occasionally on Coruscant. In said vision, Anakin kills Dooku the same way he will in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', by scissoring his and Dooku's lightsabers at the man's neck.
*** When Yoda wakes up on Korriban/Moraband after the vision, and talks to the Serene Priestess, as she fades away the sound of the Skywalker twins' birth and VaderBreath are heard. The priestess' last words? "ThereIsAnother... Skywalker."
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E5GoneWithATrace "Gone With a Trace"]]:
*** Ahsoka rides a Joben T-85 speeder bike, the same model Kanan will regularly use on ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''. And when the bike breaks down, she calls it "{{What a piece|OfJunk}} [[Film/ANewHope of junk!]]"
*** Pintu Son-El, the guy Rafa owes money to, is the same species as [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E13TheCall Boss Yushyn]].
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E6DealNoDeal "Deal No Deal"]]:
*** Admiral Yularen's transmission to the ''Silver Angel'' after Trace accidentally flies into military airspace is, for the second time in the series, reminiscent of Han's bluffing over the comms in the Death Star in ''Film/ANewHope''. Here, Yularen demands the number of Trace's pilot's licence.
*** Anakin sensing Ahsoka aboard the ''Angel'' and allowing it to pass is similar to him, as Vader, sensing Luke aboard a stolen Imperial shuttle in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', complete with him being asked for confirmation on whether to stop the vessel or not. It also serves as a contrast to the scene in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsTheSiegeOfLothal "The Siege of Lothal"]] where Ahsoka and Vader recognize each other.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E7DangerousDebt "Dangerous Debt"]]:
*** Ahsoka's Force-powered jump over the Martez sisters' heads and a retractable bridge is reminiscent of Kanan's epic leap in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E10GhostsOfGeonosis "Ghosts of]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E11GhostsOfGeonosisPartII Geonosis"]].
*** Ahsoka Force-pulling several Pyke guards out from cover so Trace and Rafa can shoot them is reminiscent of Kanan doing the same for Rex in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E07StealthStrike "Stealth Strike"]].
*** Bo-Katan is accompanied by Sabine's mother Ursa Wren.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E1TheBadBatch "The Bad Batch"]]:
*** [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Fyrnocks]] can be seen wandering the woods in the background of the "campfire" scene.
*** Two battle droids who get ambushed by Rex and Jesse have very... [[Film/ANewHope familiar]] dialogue:
---->'''Battle Droid #1:''' Do you know what's going on?\\
'''Battle Droid #2:''' Maybe it's another drill.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E2ADistantEcho "A Distant Echo"]]:
*** During their holo-call, Anakin and Padmé discuss the progress of the Outer Rim Sieges, a campaign that's still going on in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. Also, Anakin looks briefly panicked and angry when Obi-Wan lets him know he knows he was talking to Padmé afterwards.
*** This is [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E07StealthStrike not the last time]] Rex will have reason to comment about someone's lack of stealth on a mission with "SoMuchForStealth".
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E3OnTheWingsOfKeeradaks "On the Wings of Keeradaks"]]: In a FreezeFrameBonus for those who read Aurebesh, Tech's collection of creature recordings that he scrolls through on his visor includes [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E15TheHonorableOnes bonzami]] and [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E13TheCall purrgil]].
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E4UnfinishedBusiness "Unfinished Business"]]:
*** Trench's [[EarthShatteringKaboom planet-busting bomb]] is deactivated just in time, but fans of ''Rebels'' will recall that Fort Anaxes, the main Republic base in this story, was [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E05OutOfDarkness first]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E07GatheringForces introduced]] as a fyrnock-infested ruin on a planetoid in an AsteroidThicket…
*** The entirety of Anakin's confrontation with Trench hints at his upcoming fall to the Dark Side, including claiming that he no longer has "weaknesses" like being noble, all capped off by the Emperor's theme playing in the background.
