They dub Ewok dialog from Jedi over them, with a subtitle that says something like "You go, Lando!"

That's definitely not a soundbite from ROTJ. I'd bet the sound team over at Lucasfilm recorded it for them though. Here's Billy Dee's entire segment.

Speaking of ROTJ, I'm loving this BTS footage.

 

Thanks for posting the link to Billy Dee's segment.  I definitely got some 70s Holiday Special flashbacks with the Meco music and dancing.

I don't think Billy Dee was up for dancing.  I hope they paid him well.  This segment is a good example of the beginning of the Disney Star Wars push.  They already know they have the hardcore fans interested but they want to keep Star Wars in the "cool" area of the public consciousness.  The housewives need to be sold on Star Wars so they buy Disney Star Wars items for their kids.   We're going to see more stuff like this I'm sure leading up to ep. 7.
