The ET shirt is always a good choice.

The ET shirt is always a good choice.


Out of all the tinkering that people have done to classic movies (I’m looking at you Lucas!) I was OK with this one. I can’t say I ever noticed the guns through all my tears but I felt this change came from a good place and was just not about trying to get you to buy yet another re-release. Seriously, can somebody just lobotomies George Lucas already!?

So I wanted to find a picture of ‘ET’ and all that comes up are pictures of Katy Perry in her new video…….. annoying.

Appearing on one of the Senate platforms in The Phantom Menace are three beings of the same species as E.T. the Extra Terrestrial,  from the film of the same name. Joining the chants of “vote now” for a  decision on Chancellor Valorum’s rule, the appearance of these aliens is  seen as a friendly gesture from George Lucas to the director of E.T.,  Steven Spielberg.  The two successful filmmakers are great friends and  have worked together several times, most notably on the Indiana Jones  films. The creatures present at the Senate were Senator Grebleips (Spielberg  spelt backwards) and his two aides from the planet of Brodo Asogi, which  is mentioned briefly in James Luceno’s Cloak of Deception.  The appearance of E.T.’s species seems to be looked upon as canon, and so a couple of interesting points are raised.   E.T. appeared on earth in Spielberg’s blockbuster, and so even though  Star Wars took place a “long time ago”, it could be seen as possible for  the species to travel between both galaxies.  Or most likely, both  galaxies just have the same species.   There is also the scene in Spielberg’s film where E.T. spots a child  dressed up as Yoda and begins to follow the child, saying “home” (a  portion of Yoda’s Theme from The Empire Strikes Back is played at  this point in the film).  The appearance of E.T.’s species in the Star  Wars galaxy could add a whole new meaning to this scene.   Other Lucas/Spielberg exchanges in film include hieroglyphics of R2-D2 and C-3PO on a wall in Raiders of the Lost Ark, an establishment being named ‘Club Obi-Wan’ in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and an advertisement for the film ‘Tar Wars’ in The Flintstones, which Spielberg produced.

This was my ET cake that my friends ‘hand-made’ just for me! I was a biiiiig ET fan when I was little and for my birthday (6th or 7th) my family got me an ET cake that did not really look like ET….. it was pretty scary. So this was to make up for it.  :)
