Jyn and Cassian make it to the Imperial archives and begin searching for the Death Star's plans, and among the things they find is an entry called "Black Sabre", which is likely a reference to the Darksaber, a black-bladed lightsaber seen in the Clone Wars and Rebels TV shows, not to mention a number of Expanded Universe comics.
