Watching the scene in The Phantom Menace when Amidala calls for the vote of non-confidence in Vallorum, there are many aliens cheering and jeering.
In the second shot of the Senate after she's called the vote, bottom left of the screen, you can see a bunch of tan aliens with long necks jumping about.
It's pretty clear they're the same aliens as seen in E.T.
So does this mean E.T. is canon to "Star Wars?" 'Cuz it occurs to me that what's-his-face plays with Star Wars action figures. So that's just sorta ... wierd!

Well, if you want to do it that way, you could say they're already in the same canon, since they both have humans in them.

Yes, but their humans aren't from Earth, they're from lots of places (presumeably after mass amounts of colonization thousands of years ago).

This explains why ET wants to walk up to the kid dressed as YODA!! He thought that "Master Yoda is here too, and he could probably help me get home" not "hey he looks like me" or "hey another alien'!!

TSN: Well, everyone already knew that. They just were polite and didn't say anything. I hardly think Snay just learned of it now. Besides, the point of the thread was showing ET "exists" in the SW Universe.

...the same way boom mikes exist in the Star Trek universe?

Except those mikes weren't purposely inserted
Anyhoo... I'd take ET's "canon" existence with a large barrel of salt.
