* When the Death Star arrives at the battle of Scarif, he informs his officer that "Vader will deal with the fleet" (having already requested Vader's presence at Scarif on learning of the rebel attack), explaining why Vader and his Destroyer were the ones to capture the ''Taintive IV'' in ''A New Hope''.

Multiple references to events later in the ''Star Wars'' timeline appear in ''Rogue One'':
* The Rebels are based in the Yavin IV temple complex, with Mon Mothma in command. General Jan Dodonna is a member of the Rebel Council.
* Mon Mothma mentions that the Empire is preparing for a "major weapons test", the same test that Tarkin uses to destroy Alderaan in ''A New Hope''.
* It can be assumed that the call sign used by the heroes, [[TitleDrop Rogue One]], is the one that will inspire the name of Rogue Squadron.
* Bail Organa calls for Captain Antilles, saying he has a special mission for him.[[note]]This is Captain Raymus Antilles who captained the ''Tantive IV'' (the ship under attack in the opening scene of ''A New Hope''), not Wedge Antilles, who was a mere Pilot Officer at the time.[[/note]] He mentions he'll ask the help of a "Jedi friend" who's been in exile since ThePurge [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith of the Jedi Order]], making it clear why Leia directs R2-D2 to Obi-Wan. When Mon Mothma asks Bail whether his messenger can be trusted, he replies that he trusts "her" with his life, clearly referring to Leia. He also says he's returning to Alderaan to warn his people.
* Jyn and Cassian briefly bump into [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cornelius_Evazan Doctor Cornelius Evazan]] and [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ponda_Baba Ponda Baba]] (the ugly guys who threatened Luke in the Mos Eisley Cantina) on Jedha. Evazan even starts on the same "you just watch yourself" spiel he gave Luke before Cassian apologizes and drags Jyn away from them.
* The male supporting character brazenly charges a horde of Stormtroopers, screaming wildly... and runs into a much larger force, leaving him running ''and'' screaming. In ''A New Hope'', it's Han, and here, it's Cassian.
* Krennic asks Darth Vader if [[YouAreInCommandNow he is still in command]], and the response is a Force choke.
* Tarkin is aided aboard the Death Star by a bald Imperial General: this is Hurst Romodi, who will appear in the Death Star conference room scene.
* When the Rebel Alliance meets to discuss the Death Star after the battle on Eadu, a senator present remains skeptical that the information given is accurate, noting that it could be a ploy to draw a large portion of the Rebel Alliance to a place where they'd be overrun. [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi That very scenario would play out with the second Death Star.]]

* During the battle over Scarif, an X-Wing fighter destroys the shield dome atop a Star Destroyer's bridge before a Y-Wing bombing run disables it, and [[spoiler:with some help from a Hammerhead Corvette ends up crashing into both another Star Destroyer and the Shield Gate below.]], mirroring in many ways [[Film/ReturnoftheJedi the fate of the Executor.]]
* When the Battle of Scarif begins to reach its conclusion, [[spoiler:the ''Tantive IV'' is one of the Rebel ships that escapes, directly leading to the opening of ''A New Hope''.]]
* Krennic could be seen as a forerunner of General Hux, who views his own planet-killer with even more fervour. [[spoiler:Hux, however, gets to witness the firepower of his weapon uninhibited.]]
* In the new canon, it appears that a skilled enough pilot can calculate and activate or deactivate the hyperdrive ''within'' the gravity well of a planet, as shown when Cassian jumps the U-Wing to hyperspace from within Jedha's atmosphere [[spoiler:in order to escape the destruction from the Death Star's laser]], with K-2SO implying that being able to do so requires a very precise calculation. Han Solo does the inverse in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', being able to deactivate the ''Millenium Falcon's'' hyperdrive precisely when the ''Falcon'' is past the planetary shield but before it reaches the ground.
* Tarkin tells the Death Star crew "You may fire when ready," just as [[Film/ANewHope he did with Alderaan and (almost) Yavin]].
* Krennic assures Tarkin that when the Death Star is complete, the Senate will no longer be of any concern.
