The following characters "have a bad feeling about this": Obi-wan (Episode I), Anakin (Episode II), Obi-wan (Episode III), Luke (Episode IV), Han (Episode IV and Episode VII), Leia (Episode V), C-3PO (Episode VI). The line is also spoken by Harrison Ford again as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). The only Lucas franchise movie to not have this line in the finished script is Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018). See more »

Alternate Versions
Stills from the "lost" Tatooine scenes have been published (in "The Star Wars Storybook", for example) and at least one sequence is shown in the documentary 'The Making of 'Star Wars'". Also, the scenes were included in the novel, comic book and radio adaptations of the story. See more »
Star Wars is a movie that has had great social impact, a fact that has often gone unnoticed. A harbinger of a changing mood within the United States, Star Wars was one of the few movies rated General that was released in 1977. Where movies had for a decade been depicting ever more dark topics (Taxi Driver, The Exorcist) Star Wars was a lighthearted adventure. While some may decry the move back to swashbuckling from social comment, I for one celebrate the fact that Star Wars made it possible for families to go to movies together once again.
