E.T. In Star Wars Facts. What do you think? Grebleips species are a cameo appearance of the famous aliens of Steven Spielbergs 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. These creatures were inserted in the movie to make good on a promise—after Steven Spielberg included a Yoda cameo and Star Wars toys in E.T., George Lucas promised to include an E.T. cameo in the next Star Wars film he made—The Phantom Menace. Some Star Wars references in E.T. can be reinterpreted in light of the E.T. references in Star Wars. E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet reveals Children of the Green Planet to be the translated name of E.T.s species. It also mentions several names which other alien species have given E.T.s homeworld, such as Brodo Asogi, all of which translate to Green Planet. While a species with the same name and appearance is itself part of Star Wars canon, and the homeworld name is given in Cloak of Deception, the species name is not specified. When E.T. goes trick-or-treating with the children, he spots a child in a Yoda mask and begins to follow that child saying Home… home… (Composer John Williams included a snippet of his Yoda Theme from The Empire Strikes Back to accompany this scene.) This could be interpreted as E.T. recognizing a familiar species from his home galaxy. HoloNet News Vol. 531 50 also mentions that Senator Grebleips of Brodo Asogi funded an expedition to another galaxy. This is another reference to E.T., since E.T. visits Earth from another galaxy in the film.
