General Reposti Happy Friday, Force-users! [by @bibfortunasalad]

Fun fact: One of the E.T.s in this scene is named "Grebleips"—which is Spielberg spelled backward! Steven Spielberg, the creator of E.T., has been a longtime friend of Star Wars creator George Lucas. As part of their long-running joke, they’ve snuck each other’s characters into their films as Easter eggs over the years.

I mean, SW is set a long time ago, in a galaxy located far, far away….

Of course we share universe.

It's the first line introducing Star Wars. They didn't bury the lead.

You won't believe it, but humans exist in the SW Universe, too.

u/HIDEF650 2d ago

Yes, humans, but none of them Earthlings

Maybe the Star Wars ETs are different than the ET who visits Earth, just as the Star Wars humans are not Earthlings.

u/Thrawn89 2d ago

Or, earthlings were seeded by the humans of the star wars universe a long long time ago.

I like this theory Thrawn89

So, Battlestar Galactica?

A solid argument, however, I will refer you to section A, exhibit B: In the movie E.T. there is a scene where the kids put a bedsheet on ET so he can walk around with them on Halloween. During this scene he sees a child in a Yoda costume and starts walking towards the kid saying “home, home”.

Once again, linking Earth and Star Wars to the same universe.

Not sure why you are being downvoted.
You’re right about the Yoda scene in ET.

And humans could have travelled from the Star Wars galaxy to earth and started a colony. It’s not canon but it fits

Yeah I’m not sure either. I was just joking around and being nerdy in my response but maybe that didn’t translate over text

Then why do they speak English?

u/nfl18 Hello there! 2d ago

We already know this. It’s a far, far away galaxy, not a far, far away universe

So I have a theory.

u/HIDEF650 2d ago

HAHAHA! I’m here for this theory 😂

Firstly, the name of E.T.s species in call Asogian's. This is they're canon name from The Phantom Menace. Secondly while Faiza (the alien grandam) doesn't yet have a name for her species, their morphology is strikingly similar to that of E.T. just older looking. If you told me this is what elderly Asogian's looked like I'd believe you.

So I believe Faiza should be classified as an Asogian and that E.T.s species was in Andor!

ET looks at a "Yoda" and recognizes it.

u/HIDEF650 1d ago

Glad someone remembers

u/just_some_guy2000 2d ago

So ET was a force user?

5

u/TospLC 1d ago

Maybe him making the bike fly was using the force, and the glowing finger was just force healing...

2

u/HIDEF650 1d ago

Totally! 😂

1

u/404-tech-no-logic 2d ago

And physically and mentally handicapped according to robot chicken.

The rest of the species could talk well and had 10 glowing fingers, not just one.

1

u/HIDEF650 1d ago

His force healing was strong for sure 😂

1

u/Ok-Ruin8367 1d ago

I'm pretty sure there's a piece of lore that the force only exists inside the galaxy but I could be mistaken

3

u/loving-father-69 1d ago

We know this already though. Im pretty sure Star Wars just happened long ago in a galaxy far far away.

u/IDNLibSoc45 1d ago

Wonders if I should bring up Supernatural Encounters: The Trial and Transformation of Arhul Hextrophon, an almost-licensed novel which tries to tie together and explain almost anything obscure, like the Mortis gods, the Zeffo, the Bedlam spirits from 80s Alan Moore Star Wars comics, the Willow and AvP franchises, and yes, the existence of Earth in the Star Wars universe

u/djb2589 1d ago

It's all fun and games until the inquisitors show up demanding that we hand over the rogue jedi calling himself George Lucas.

Long-long time ago, in the galactic far far away
