Perhaps it's a little puerile, but it would be impossible for anyone to ignore the insistent imagery of the Dark Side place on Ahcho-To and its rather unfortunately anal symbolism.

When Rey first has her vision of the weird little cave opening it even looks positively hairy thanks to the halo of seaweed crowning it to make it look more sinister.

And that's not even to mention the fact that Rey's forbidden journey within leads her to a mysterious, unexplained Mirror Of Erised clone, which is presented as being a lure to the Dark Side by Luke but which does precisely nothing to try and turn Rey. It's more just an exercise in intriguing but ultimately hollow special effects.
