Author Topic: ET is canon Star Wars? TPM$$ Malnurtured Snay Blogger Member # 411 posted                       Um, well, they do exist and they're pretty clearly seen on screen. Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged deadcujo Spectator Member # 13 posted                       I doubt they were put in as a joke, more likely they were used an homage to Steven Spielberg. -------------------- Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week? Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir. Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then. Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

Anyone remember the Yoda costume from E.T.? -------------------- Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week? Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir. Picard: Very good.

But it was what the whole thing made me think about. -------------------- Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week? Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir. Picard: Very good.

Maybe he was a jedi. Eh, I guess not. Why didn't he just go ape-shit and chop the feds into horse meat with his lightsabre?

Mel Gibson, X-Men Registered: Aug 1999  |  IP: Logged Commander Dan Member Member # 558 posted                       Remember, Star Wars takes place “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” So, by the time of the movie (E.T.), the E.T.s would have achieved intergalactic travel. Perhaps E.T. recognized Yoda (the kid in the costume) from history. Or, perhaps he simply recognized Yoda’s species. -------------------- “My experience with Rick Berman is, you know, he does not understand what he's doing, he does not understand science fiction.” -- Andrew Probert Registered: Apr 2001  |  IP: Logged Free ThoughtCrime America Senior Member Member # 480 posted                       The only explanation for ET recognizing the Yoda costume would be that Lucas is an alien himself.
