Yeah, but it was over-used on Star Wars!

I noticed this for the first time when I watched the OT in English the other day. You have to know that in the dubbed German version they used variations of this line instead, so it didn't leave a bad impression on me.

So, when I watched the originals the other day, I laughed everytime it came up, because it reminded me so much of the DragonLance saga (Tanis uses the phrase "We've got to get out of here!" a million times in the Chronicles, instead of saying something else, like "Run! Run!", "Retreat!", "We have to find a way out of here!" or "Get out! Now!"

).

The SW writers did a lousy job in this case. I mean, they could have used "Something's wrong" or "This place is giving me the creeps" for a change.
