With more and more promotional material rolling out for Solo: A Star Wars Story, fans are getting deeper insight into the past of rogue pilot Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich), his trusty pal Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon.

As we peer into Han's mentorship by Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson), it's clear that his formative years as a smuggler are just as much fun as it is action. Now, with the release of the movie's latest trailer, director Ron Howard pays homage to the breadth of the Star Wars franchise by flipping a long-running gag on its head, which leaves us with, well, a very good feeling about the direction of this origin story.

The footage focuses heavily on Tobias recruiting his ragtag crew for a heist, with the bandit warning Han that once he joins their criminal ranks, he'll be in for life. It teases the dynamic with the rest of the crew, including his highly anticipated first meeting with Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). But at the 1:32 mark, as Han pilots the Falcon he remarks, "I've got a really good feeling about this."

Star Wars fans will recognize that's a nod to the oft-repeated line, "I've got a bad feeling about this" that pops up in every Star Wars film, even making its way into the novels, comics and cartoons. In terms of the more iconic moments in the movies, Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi said it to Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) in The Phantom Menace at a diplomatic meeting that'd turn out to be an ambush; Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) said it in Attack of the Clones when he was about to be sentenced to death by alien beasts; and it even appeared in Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi, this time with the BB-8 droid offering his digital spin.

Han has his own history with the pessimistic turn of phrase, uttering it a couple times in his older, battle-hardened years. The character, then played by Harrison Ford, said it in 1977's A New Hope, warning Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) just before the Death Star trash compactor was about to crush them. He said it again in 1983's Return of the Jedi when he was about to be roasted along with Luke and Chewie by the Ewoks. Last but not least, Ford got one last crack at it in his final outing as Han in 2015's The Force Awakens. There, he said the ominous phrase to Chewie upon realizing that the rathtars (large, carnivorous cephalopods) they were transporting were free on his freighter.

This time, the take on the phrase not only keeps up with the tongue-in-cheek aspect of Han's journey but it informs the character's past as a young, hopeful pilot before circumstances turned him into someone worthy a hefty bounty.
