An iconic Star Wars line was mentioned in the premiere episodes of The Acolyte, and fans are delighted that the tradition is still being continued.
Despite being set in the High Republic era, the new series still has the familiar Star Wars undertones while exploring an uncharted territory that we've never seen in any of the live-action projects before.
As we've seen in the premiere episodes, some of the franchise's traditions continue in The Acolyte even if it has no connection at all to the Skywalker Saga.

Yord Mentions Iconic "I Have a Bad Feeling" Line in The Acolyte Episode 2
The second episode of The Acolyte saw one of the main characters mention the iconic "I have a bad feeling about this" line.
It happened during a brief moment when Yord (Charlie Barnett) was monitoring the area in front of Qimir's apothecary shop where Mae is expected to show up again.
Yord mentioned the "I have a bad feeling about this" line to Jecki Lon (Dafne Keen), indicating that he is nervous about the confrontation that will happen.
Afterward, we saw Sol and Mae duel in a fight that ended with the Jedi Master disarming the mysterious warrior. However, she managed to escape, but it didn't result as badly as Yor might think.
As most fans know, "I have a bad feeling about this" has become one of the most iconic lines in the Star Wars franchise with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Obi-Wan Kenobi as some of the characters who have mentioned it in the past and it usually happens before an impending fight/battle sequence.
A lot of fans were delighted when the iconic line was mentioned in the episode and shared their reactions on social media.
Here are some of the posts from fans:
Whether you agree with the usage or not, it is still great to see that The Acolyte is embracing the tradition despite being set in a different era of the galaxy.
While you could argue that using the line is for fan service's sake, the way it was used in the context of the scene felt appropriate and hopefully it wouldn't also be overused throughout the series' run.
New episodes of The Acolyte premiere every Tuesday night on Disney+.
