Even though director Gareth Edwards stated that the movie would be more serious than usual and as such tone down the geeky, playful references, it's clear from even just one viewing that the movie is absolutely loaded with fun nods to other aspects of the franchise's continuity, as well as completely separate movies Edwards himself is merely a fan of.

Keeping your eyes peeled and ears primed for these secrets can be an enormous amount of fun, and if you want to see how well you did, here's our comprehensive compendium of everything we've discovered in Rogue One so far...

It reappeared briefly in The Force Awakens, and shows up again in Rogue One, with Saw Gerrera's rebels playing a more primitive, non-holographic version of it at their secret hideout.
