An enormously minor yet undeniably fan-pleasing namedrop occurs when Qi'ra is talking to Han mid-movie. She mentions that she's proficient in Teräs Käsi, a fighting style which first appeared in the short-lived 2015-2016 mobile game Star Wars: Uprising.

Though the game has been confirmed canon, few could've ever expected to hear its exotic fighting style mentioned in an actual Star Wars movie, let alone by one of the major characters.

Given Qi'ra's clear aptitude in combat, could this be opening the door for the combat style to re-appear in one of the Solo sequels? Fingers crossed.
