M E A N I N G F U L   E C H O   (TV trope)

A Meaningful Echo occurs when characters, in their usual way, say things to one another. Normally, these things aren’t all that notable or special—they’re part of normal dialogue. However, later on in the story, one of these “ordinary” lines is repeated. But unlike the original line, it isn’t in a normal, throwaway context. It’s at a moment of emotional height,  when the viewer or reader is deep into the work, making a callback to an earlier scene.  If it had meaning before – it’s now been expanded to a much greater context. It’s gone from being something ordinary to something extraordinary.

Cassian says it to Jyn on Jedha, and she says it to the Alliance leaders when they say there’s no hope of getting the Death Star plans off Scarif.
