Solo: A Star Wars Story - 10 Fan Service Moments That Will Make You Groan
4. "I've Got A Good Feeling About This"
The refrain of "I've got a bad feeling about this" has become a repeated motif throughout the Star Wars franchise in all of its incarnations. It's a catchphrase that has been used by a variety of characters and is a knowing wink at situations that almost certainly descend into anarchy pretty soon after the words are said.
In Solo: A Star Wars Story, the phrase is turned on its head as a cocksure Solo declares that he has "a good feeling about this" prior to a particularly dangerous action sequence. As with so many of the fan-service moments that litter the movie, it doesn't chime with the way that Ehrenreich has played the character. He's more of an idealistic dork than he is a space outlaw with a flexible moral compass.
This is a clunky line that seemingly exists solely to provide a wink-nudge moment of fan nostalgia for the trailer. In the context of the movie, it sticks out like a sore thumb and is another eye-rolling line that seems to exist solely as one of the many exhausting references to Star Wars history.
