Rian Johnson: Who Said 'I Have A Bad Feeling About This' In Star Wars: The Last Jedi?


[THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS FOR STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI]

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is finally here, and a lot of people are singing their praises to Rian Johnson's fantastic installment to the franchise. The entire saga (including that of Rogue One) has included the running gag where someone says "I have a bad feeling about this." The line couldn't be heard in TLJ, but Johnson reveals that he actually had BB-8 say it in his droid language.

Talking to the Huffington Post, Johnson confirmed that it was BB-8 who said it during the opening fight sequence with Poe Dameron. The line could have been much more obvious, but Johnson decided to have it changed a little.

"It seemed like a fun character to deliver that line. I think originally I had Poe respond, ‘Oh, I got a good feeling about it. Keep your chin up.' And then I made it a little less explicit just to make it more fun."

The line was said by an older Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and by K-2SO in Rogue One. While I would have preferred to have the line actually heard in the movie, Johnson's neat little Easter Egg is still a fun nod. Hopefully fanboys don't lose their minds over it.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is now out in theaters.
