10 Movie Franchises With Recurring Easter Eggs

2. "I've Got A Bad Feeling About This" (Star Wars)

It's quite amusing how often easter eggs and running gags overlap as concepts. They may be different things, but the nature of their definitions means that they can both refer to the same thing in certain places.

Case in point, the famous line from the Star Wars franchise "I've got a bad feeling about this". This line has appeared at least once in every Star Wars movie ever made. The line, as you might expect, is typically said right before something really bad actually happens.

It's just such an innocuous line, yet its repetition has made it immortal in the world of geekdom. If you love Star Wars, you knew that this line was going to make it onto a list like this at some point. The only shocking part is that it only managed to make it to #2.

This easter egg is unlikely to go anywhere anytime soon, seeing as how it has appeared in every Star Wars product up to now, and has thus become an integral part of the mythology.
