Word for a bad feeling about this

«I have a bad feeling about this» is a well-known phrase in Star Wars and has become a running gag throughout the saga, as well as several different Lucasfilm stories and other works. The phrase is heard for the first time in the first Star Wars film, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and reappeared at least once in each subsequent movie. It is also heavily featured in others Star Wars media, such as books, comics and video games, where the locution can vary in its exact wording. 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.^[2]

Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi is the first Star Wars film to not feature «I have a bad feeling about this» spoken in Galactic Basic Standard. However, the film’s director, Rian Johnson, confirmed that the line is in the film, and that it is spoken by BB-8 during the opening battle sequence.^[3]

In Huttese, the «bad feeling» is Dopo me goola.^[4]
