– Blue milk makes an appearance in an early shot of the Ersos home on Lah’mu. It was actually George Lucas, who first created the “Kiber crystal” as a MacGuffin in one of his earliest outlines for A New Hope.

In the book, the Kaiburr crystal is a mysterious gem that could bestow great power over the Force to any who possessed it. – The kyber crystal was first introduced in Star Wars lore as the Kaiburr crystal in the very first Legends novel, Splinter of the Mind’s Eye by Alan Dean Foster. This is why Krennic needed Galen to continue his research on kyber crystals in order to finish the weapon. A kyber crystal was the main component of a lightsaber as well as the Death Star’s superlaser. While rare and beautiful, kyber crystals are most often used as weapons. – Before Lyra goes back to try and kill Krennic, she gives Jyn a necklace with a kyber crystal. – If you listen closely, it sounds like you can hear the same “exhale” sound when Saw takes oxygen from his mask that Darth Vader makes as the second part of his famous breathing noise.

– Gerrera was originally created by George Lucas while developing the unproduced live-action TV series Star Wars: Underground. Gerrera later formed an extremist rebel group known as the Partisans that operated out of the planet Jedha. He first appeared in The Clone Wars episode “A War on Two Fronts” as a freedom fighter on the planet Onderon. Gerrera is the first of the many returning characters in Rogue One.

– As Krennic arrives on Lah’mu, the Ersos are in contact with Saw Gerrera, played by Forest Whitaker, who is the rebel that helped them escape from Krennic’s clutches in Catalyst. Starkiller was Darth Vader’s secret apprentice during the Jedi Purge. – Fun fact: Galen was also the name of Galen Marek aka Starkiller from the video game The Force Unleashed (Legends). A brilliant scientist who researched kyber crystals and how they could be used as a clean energy source, Galen met his wife Lyra, played by Valene Kane, while on an expedition on the planet Espinar. – Galen Erso, played by Mads Mikkelsen, first appeared in Catalyst. This is likely a nod to Rey’s Rebel pilot doll in The Force Awakens. – There’s a brief shot where one of the Death Troopers picks up a stormtrooper doll from the ground. The Force-sensitive Shadowtroopers from the video game Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (Legends) come to mind as a particularly cool example. The Death Troopers carry blaster rifles similar to the E-11 as well as SE-14 pistols. They’re not the first stormtroopers to sport black armor. They were the special unit of Imperial Intelligence. – Krennic’s black stormtroopers are called Death Troopers. It was not common for an Imperial officer to wear a cape, though. – While Krennic’s white Imperial uniform might remind you of Grand Admiral Thrawn from Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy and the Rebelsanimated series, the uniform was first used by Colonel Wullf Yularen in A New Hope.

When the Republic became the Empire, Krennic became the Director of Advanced Weapons Research of the Imperial Military. He was one of the key men responsible for the Death Star project. He first served as a Lieutenant Commander for the Republic in the Republic Corps of Engineers during the Clone Wars and later the Republic Special Weapons Group. – Krennic, played by Ben Mendelsohn, first appeared in Catalyst, as well. It may remind you of the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle, which first appeared in Return of the Jedi. – Director Orson Krennic‘s ship is a Delta-class T-3c shuttle and it’s used as a transport by the Empire. The first was in the Rogue One tie-in novel, Catalyst, by James Luceno. – That planet is called Lah’mu, and it’s actually its second appearance in Star Wars.
