Star Wars: 20 Things You Didn't Know About The Last Jedi
11. BB-8 Says "I've Got A Bad Feeling About This"
It was initially reported that The Last Jedi was the first film in the Skywalker Saga to omit a variation of the iconic phrase, "I have a bad feeling about this," yet that's actually not the case.
Instead, Rian Johnson decided to get a little cute with it and include the one-liner in highly concealed form.
Johnson confirmed that BB-8 actually says the very same phrase to Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) in the movie's opening scene, making a series of binary beeping noises as they take on the First Order.
Upon hearing and understanding BB-8's anxiety, Poe responds with, "Happy beeps here, buddy, come on." Johnson said of the inclusion:
"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."
