return of the Jedi (1983) the shot that Luke's robotic hand received is still there in The Last Jedi (2017)
Luke has the exposed kyber crystal of Darth Vaders lightsaber hanging in his shack.
The burning tree resembles the Rebel/Resistance's Phoenix symbol, while the dark side cave resembles the First Order insignia.
Han's golden dice are shown many times, and can be seen for a brief moment in a New Hope.
Luke's force projection's lightsaber sound effect is different than the other sound effect used in the movie. The actual audio used is the one from the Original and Prequel trilogies.
You can see a compass on Luke Skywalker's shelf. This compass was the one he found in the emperor's observatory on a mission in Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017, before The release of The Last Jedi)
The jet pack worn by Maz Kanata in Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), resembles the jet pack worn by the Rocketeer in the 1991 film. Joe Johnston, who directed The Rocketeer, worked on the visual effects for the original Star Wars trilogy.

Last Jedi Movie Foreshadowing
When Leia force pulls herself back onto the Resistance ship, it foreshadows where the Holdo Maneuver will hit Snoke's ship.
- Luke and Snoke had made the mistake of assuming Kylo Ren's intentions. Both masters subscribing to two different methodologies and essentially resulting to the same fate.
Leia's movement through the projection of Snoke's ship foreshadows its fate
You can see the ship BB-8 and DJ steal later in the film parking in front of the casino during the establishing shot.
General Leia foreshadows the destruction of Snoke's ship
Last Jedi movie hidden details
Rey's training on the cliff matches Kylo Ren's fight with Luke Skywalker
Chewbacca's seat in the Millennium Falcon's cockpit is visibly dirtier than Han's
The door to Luke's hut is a salvaged S-foil wing from Luke's X-wing.
Kylo gets the idea how to kill Snoke when the lightsaber spins in front of him.
I just realized the circular pattern that Leia's blaster emits when she stuns Poe is the same as the one used at the beginning of "A New Hope" when *she* gets stunned by stormtroopers.
Luke winks at C-3PO when he arrives at the abandoned rebel base on Crait. This is most likely because C-3PO had technology to sense that Luke was not physically present. This was not in the script, Mark Hamill decided to do this on his own.
A Praetorian Guard's Vibro-Arbir blade disappears just as he gets an opening to kill Rey
These three Resistance soldiers are played by Nathan, Griffin, and Chelsea Hamill - Mark Hamill's children. Not only is it a fun cameo, but it can also be viewed as the literal next generation watching Luke go out to face the First Order, a major point of the scene.
Leia flies through a hologram of Snoke's ship foreshadowing its fate later in the movie.
Rebel Bombardies decorate two of the bombs that get dropped on the Dreadnaught.
After Yoda destroys the tree it burns in the shape of the Jedi Order
Luke does not disturb the sand, a hint that he's not really there.
Rey is fascinated by the rain on Ahch-To because she grew up on a desert planet.
There is a mural in the first Jedi temple of the Prime Jedi, the original member of the Jedi Order.
The puncture wound is shown from Luke's extreme spearfishing
Rey sees her own reflection in the cave exactly halfway into the movie
Before Rey touches Ben Solo's hand in The Last Jedi, she only refers to him as 'Kylo'. After seeing the conflict in him, she only calls him 'Ben'.
During the flashback to the Destruction of Luke's Temple, you can see his slaughtered students scattered on the ground in front of the temple
Snoke does not directly hit the helmetless Kylo Ren with force lightning, but instead bounces it off the floor to avoid his still-healing face.
Luke appears to Kylo on Crait as Kylo remembers Luke at the time they last saw each other, rather than how Luke currently looks on Ahch-To (different beard and hair styling/color, length).
Right before their first force connection Skype session, the light shining on both Kylo and Rey look like the "yin" and "yang" halves.
. I could be wrong, but the way Leia flies through the hologram when shes saving herself in space parallels how Snokes ship gets destroyed later in the movie.
An AT-At from the original trilogy can be spotted in the back during the fight on Crait when Kylo Ren confronts Luke face to face. You can tell it's an AT-AT by it's small feet and more box like body
Kylo Ren uses the force to stand up during his first force connection with Rey. I don't know whether this is that great a detail or whatever, but I found a really cool and subtle way to show a new way the force can be used.
The whispers Rey hears are lines from the jedi code.
Ben Solo's lightsaber closely resembles the hilt used by Kylo Ren, implying that he reused it when he became Snoke's Apprentice
Rey's arm wound resembles two hands reaching each other, just like Rey and Kylo hands were reaching each other and touching through their Force Bond/Connection
The "Binary Sunset" has now appeared in every Star Wars trilogy
Yoda burns down the Jedi library, telling Luke that it "contained nothing that the girl Rey does not already possess". This is later proven to be true when it is shown that Rey took the Jedi tomes with her off-screen.
During the first flash-back of Ben Solo's turning (when Luke tells his version of the story to Rey), we can see a faint green hue inside Ben's room coming from Luke's light saber. This is before it is revealed that Luke raised his saber against Ben.
During the final battle Chewie sits in the co-pilot's chair, even though he's piloting the Falcon alone.
Rey is Visibly Happy at the Sight of Rain Because, Having Grown Up On a Desert Planet, She's Never Seen It
Luke's lightsaber is destroyed when Kylo and Rey have a force pull with each other. Later in the movie, Luke is actually wielding that lightsaber, which I think makes sense since he is there as an hologram through the force.
During the final battle scene in The Last Jedi (2017), between Kylo Ren and Luke Skywalker, you can tell Luke has no physical presence as his foot movements don't disturb the ground, unlike Kylo Ren's which show the red tone beneath the top layer.
The Jedi temple on Luke's island, that Yoda ultimately torches, closely resembles the Rebel Insignia.
