This article is about the phrase. You may be looking for the article in the Star Wars Insider magazine.

"You aren't gonna say you have a bad feeling about this, are you? I hate it when you say that."

―Han Solo to Luke Skywalker^[src]

"I have a bad feeling about this" is a well-known phrase in the Star Wars series which has become a running gag throughout the saga, as well as several other Lucasfilm and unrelated properties, and is heard nearly as many times as May the Force be with you.

The phrase is spoken twice in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, the first of the Star Wars movies to be made, and at least once in each subsequent movie and the LucasArts games based on Star Wars.

The phrase also appears in non-Star Wars-related Lucas projects, such as the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the Monkey Island series of LucasArts games.

The expression also varies between "bad bad feeling," "very bad feeling," or "really bad feeling;" and also as "I've got a bad feeling about this."

When spoken, the A in "bad" is sometimes drawn out, as "I have a baad feeling about this." The phrase is also occasionally referenced by having a character say "I have a good feeling about this", or something to that effect.^[1]

In the 1995 TV movie Young Indiana Jones and the Attack of the Hawkmen, Indy is ordered to Berlin in a mission to bribe Anthony Fokker to work for the French. Just before he boards a biplane for Berlin, Charles Nungesser—who will be flying the plane—informs Indy that he must parachute into Germany. To this, Indy says the phrase. Indiana also says the line in the episode "Austria, March 1917," and near the end of the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, just before the room starts spinning and making strange noises.
In 1992 point-and-click adventure game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, inside the U-Boat (Team Path) when a player forces Indy to go down the bridge twice, Indy says "I've got a bad feeling about this..." before stepping down the ladder and meeting the demise. This mishap results a game over screen.
The line is one of the lines uttered by Indiana Jones in the Disneyland Indiana Jones Adventure attraction as Indy dangles over the riders' transport. The line is spoken as a giant boulder begins rolling toward the Jeep.
