Here's a few instances of fan service in that movie:

- Andor running into Pigperson and Grover on Yedha

- That entirely random 20-sec scene with C-3PO and R2-D2

- "Red Leader, standing by" was archive footage from A New Hope (and arguably a tribute to the late actor)

Rogue One was the first standalone movie in the Star Wars universe. There was a lot of uncertainty about how it would be received. I don't blame them for ham-fistedly shoving in there some extra linkage to the main canon... and even with that, it made much less than the "regular" sequel trilogy.
