"I've got a bad feeling about this."

It's a Star Wars line that is up there with the most iconic in the series, chiefly because we have heard it so many times throughout the saga.

Luke Skywalker and Han Solo said it in A New Hope, Princess Leia in The Empire Strikes Back, and Han once again in Return of the Jedi.

It's also repeated in the prequel trilogy's three films, in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and 2015's The Force Awakens.

So naturally, we heard it in The Last Jedi too right?

Well, if you've seen the movie, you're probably scratching your head trying to remember who said it.

Director Rian Johnson has now confirmed that the words were uttered, but not in English. Instead, everyone's favourite new droid BB-8 was the one to have a bad feeling.

"Yes!" he confirmed when pressed on the topic by HuffPost. "Good catch!"

The moment in question was during the opening battle scene between the First Order and the Resistance, when BB-8 is flying with Poe Dameron.

The droid's 'dialogue', ie its adorable bleeping sounds, actually starts out in English behind-the-scenes, so using the line would make sense.

"It seemed like a fun character to deliver that line," Johnson added. "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."

However, R2-D2 apparently has a much dirtier mouth – at one point in the movie, Luke tells him to "watch the language".

Johnson confirmed that his words were "not fit for print". Perhaps the droid is getting more cynical in his older age.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out in cinemas now.
