Yoda is a well known figure in the Republic Senate.
The species E.T. belongs to is clearly a part of the Star Wars Universe, as they have delegates in the Senate.
But, it gets weirder...some E.T. creatures have visited Earth. One of them meets a human boy.
And while it is a bit weird that Elliot plays with Star Wars figures...
It's telling that when out Trick or Treating...
ET sees Yoda and RECOGNIZES HIM!
E.T. is able to heal using some unknown power...
And is known to make objects levitate...
What does all this mean?
E.T. IS A JEDI!
