Was there a “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” line?
Yes, but said by BB-8 in the opening space battle (according to Johnson).
Ha I love that then cause that means they broke at least two conventional SW tropes; a saber on saber duel and a person saying that line, which frankly starts to feel so redundant by this point so I’m glad a beep-boop speaking Droid “said” it this time.
To each their own. Unfortunately, I’m a traditionalist when it comes to Star Wars, so the execution of the line and the lack of Wilhelm scream is really annoying. That being said, it doesn’t make the movie any less great.
I guess a Wilhelm scream in every SW wouldn’t hurt, as it’s just background sound effects that can easily go unnoticed if subtle enough. But when it comes to that famous line, it starts to really stick out way too much because you’re expecting it every time these days and often feels tacked on. Because every OT film had it, then every SW film after had to have it, which frankly I think is lazy and takes away from that line being a more special catch phrase among the original main characters. But at the same time, yeah, it’s not a huge issue but it’s something I personally would like to see less of.
