    The E.T. references in EpI were a shout out to Steven Spielberg because him and George Lucas are the best of freinds.


    In Indiana Jones and the temple of doom the club in the begining of the movie is called club Obi-Wan.

    Yes, I've seen those.
    I don't know if they were intentionally made to look like ET though.

    Im sorry I cant be standing her as you remember me, but some evil force has forced me into a new shell.

    Anywho, I remember starting a thread in 1999 about the E.T. in the Phantom Menace. As someone said earlier, it took me straight out of the STAR WARS universe. Its cool to have little reference here and there but clashing universes is something lesser franchises would be caught doing.

    In the film E.T., STAR WARS is a movie in that world as it is in ours. Elliot has STAR WARS figures and you can see E.T. trying to follow a kid in a Yoda costume. Elliot's brother does a Yoda impression, etc, yadda. So how can E.T.s species exsist in the STAR WARS universe if STAR WARS is a movie in E.T.s universe?

    I really dont care now. After hearing "Exsqueeze me", "BombBad", "Thats gotta hurt", and seeing Mel's Diner in AOTC, I can expect Alf or Snoop Dogg at any moment. I wish I could dig up the thread. It was pretty heated. Its funny now.

    E.T. being in Star Wars was simply a nod to GL's buddy Steven "the man" Speilberg. Nothing more and nothing less IMO. Besides, E.T.'s are in there for a fraction of a second, and not many people noticed it until the 2nd or third viewing. Not a big deal, IMO.

    In the Scorpion King
    Mathayus(The Rock) uses a gong to escape being
    shot by arrows in Memnon's harem.

    It is a tribute to Indiana using the gong
    to deflect bullets in Club Obi-Wan in
    Temple of Doom.

    I have no problem with the whole E.T. issue. I guess yall don't remember E.T. going ape**** when he saw the kid dressed as Yoda for halloween. He kept saying "home, home" over and over until Eliot dragged him away from the Yoda lookalike.

    "My old Geography teacher told me there was a T-800 endoskeleton im Watto's junkyard, but I have yet to find it. Does anyone know if this is true?"

    I've heard there's the terminator, a spaceship from 2001 A Space Odessy, and other things in there as well. So who knows?

    E.T. says "home" when he see's Yoda. So obviously he knows Yoda or yoda's species.

    My theory is that E.T. is a jedi. He has jedi healing, force speed, he picks up things with his mind, and if i'm not mistaken doesn't he make elliot do things with his mind (mind trick)

    So E.T. is a jedi that leaves the star wars galaxy to try to find a safe planet to live on since the empire is killing Jedi.

    when E.T. finds earth he wants to report this to the star wars galaxy "e.t. phone home"

    plus Star Wars was never ment to be a seperate existence from our universe. star wars is just said to be "a long time ago"

    So E.T. has to be from some galaxy, why not star wars?

    There's little more we can discuss about ET in TPM...I thought posting too many topics was frowned upon?

    Anyway, on topic, as someone posted in another topic somewhere - now we know where ET wanted to Phone Home to!

    So how can E.T.s species exsist in the STAR WARS universe if STAR WARS is a movie in E.T.s universe?

    Well, how can humans exist in both universes then?

    First of all, JMasterLuke, the sheer fact that the kid wears a Yoda outfit and that they habve star wars figures destroys any contnuity between the films. And also, I think you're taking it a bit too seriously. It was just a cameo, and it came out long after E.T. After seeing them, however, I have always wanted to see an E.T. creature in Jedi robes, jumping around with a lightsaber.

    Slimy!

    Dude...

    Star Wars really happened. Lucas is telling it from the "Journal of the Whills", that he found in his backyard in 1973.

    :rolleyes:
