ST Connecting TLJ to Rebels and The Clone Wars

this is a neat article that goes in depth to how some things we see in the film call back to both of the canon animated shows.

some highlights:

Mortis itself is also a physical symbol of life, death, and life again. As our heroes adventure across the planet, the flora and fauna of the place are constantly springing to colorful life, growing old and dying, and then coming to life once more. This same cycle is referenced in The Last Jedi, taking place during Rey's first lesson with Luke.

the above photo shows a giant symbol on the floor of the Father's citadel, and it almost looks like a Star Wars version of the yin and yang image. Look at it closer and break it in half, and you have the pair of necklaces that are worn by Rose and Paige Tico in The Last Jedi.
[...]
The revenge-obsessed (and very much in pain) Maul kicks sand at Kenobi and mocks that the former hero has become little more than a rat in the desert, and Kenobi has a classic retort -- taking in the pathetic, rage-fueled, and writhing form of his adversary, he says, "Look at what I've risen above." Yoda says something very similar to Luke during their key scene in the new film -- "we are what we rise above."
[...]
the move [force projection] is not without precedent.
Jedi Master Yoda performs a variation of this trick in two episodes of Rebels -- the first features him only as a disembodied voice, but the second time he fully appears. Ezra Bridger and company have gone to the old Jedi Temple on Lothal to get some answers, and Yoda appears to him. We know Yoda isn't really there, because this is taking place during Yoda's exile on Dagobah.
While Luke pulled off a slightly different version of this move, Yoda definitely gives it his usual flair, appearing against a vast field of stars. He even appears to Ahsoka Tano before the episode ends
