Solo: A Star Wars Story - 52 Easter Eggs & References Explained

17. "I've Got A Really Good Feeling About This"

Solo A Star Wars Story Han
Lucasfilm

After departing Kessel, Han decides to steer the Millennium Falcon into a maelstrom, a shortcut which ultimately allows him to complete the Kessel Run in 12(ish) parsecs.

Having put his plan to an unconvinced crew and beginning manoeuvres to carry it out, Han quips, "I've got a really good feeling about this", an amusing subversion of the typical "I have a bad feeling about this" running gag throughout the franchise.

Considering how frequently Han utters the latter phrase throughout the original trilogy, it's especially amusing that a pluckier, younger Han seems a little more optimistic (or arrogant) about his chances.
