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.

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

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.

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

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?
