You somehow missed all the prequel/TCW refs in the first season?
I didn't miss the prequel refs, god no (Well except probably the TCW refs because I hardly watched that, so I wouldn't know?) but I don't remember there being very many at all. When they were there, it was little things in passing not the main focus.
I've got the S1 Blu-Ray arriving on wednesday so I rewatch it then and see.

The show isn't going to automatically suck if they reference the prequels just because you hate them. ;)
It's not that. I just liked that I could (mostly) enjoy Rebels without being reminded that the PT existed.
Partly this was because it was generally about a team of all new characters having adventures on their own without the larger mythology that had gone a bot off the rails since 1999. Which is another reason why I'm less than excited about returning "fan favourite" characters from other TV shows I don't care about, taking focus away from the interesting little Ghost family.
If from S2 onwards the story is gonna center heavily on Ahsoka (Who I couldn't care less about) and a bunch of Clones (Who I couldn't care less about) and not so much on the new characters who I've grown to love then this show is going in the exact wrong direction from what made me enjoy it in the first place.
Maybe I'm being pessimistic without having seen the 2nd series but I was just going on the trailers/previews we've seen so far.
