    I was going through all the films for a rewatch before TLJ, and I couldn't believe spotting ET aliens in the senate in TPM

    Was this a joke or what ?
    or they ET aliens or just look similar ?

    They're a nod to the ET movie:

    Lucas mentions it in the commentary track. It's a nod to his friend Spielberg.
