E.T from the Steven Spielberg movie 'E.T The Extra Terrestrial' appears in the 'Star Wars' movie 'The Phantom Menace' by George Lucas, starring Natalie ...
The first comes during the trick-or-treat scene in the film, when E.T. is covered in a ghost-like sheet before heโs led around the neighbourhood by Elliot and his siblings. Released one year after Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T paid tribute to George Lucas with two notable references to the Star Wars universe. Attending film school together, the creators of both E.T. and Star Wars, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, have always had a close friendship, often collaborating with each other on projects. Arriving on earth in a vast spacecraft, the titular character is abandoned by his impatient family who flee back into space after being pursued by federal agents, heading back to their home across the stars in a galaxy far, far away. We sincerely hope so. So, if E.T. is part of the Star Wars universe and displays all the powers and capabilities of the Jedi themselves, whatโs stopping fans from identifying him as a Jedi. Levitating bikes to hover through the air and reviving drooping flowers, similar to how Rey healed a creature in The Rise of Skywalker, thereโs definite ground to believe that E.T. is indeed a force-wielder.
