behind the scenes star wars

The Children of the Green Planet are a cameo appearance of the famous aliens of Steven Spielberg's 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. While this is primarily an easter egg, and E.T. is probably not meant to be taken as part of Star Wars canon, some Star Wars references in E.T. can be reinterpreted in light of the E.T. references in Star Wars.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
For example, E.T.'s telekinetic and telepathic abilities were not ultra-enhanced mental abilities, but rather E.T. was a Force-sensitive. When E.T. heals Eliott with his finger, he actually practices Force Healing.
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.

Senator Grebleips's expedition?
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.'s visit to Earth takes place in a galaxy "far, far away" from the Star Wars galaxy. (E.T. is said to be "three million light years from home" in E.T.'s promotional materials, galaxies such as our Milky Way galaxy are only around 100,000 light years wide, and the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way (Andromeda) is 2.5 million light years away. Thus, even without tying the two continuities together, E.T. must have been not only extra-terrestrial, but extra-galactic.) E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet also establishes that E.T.'s people possess the technology to travel from one galaxy to another.
The ship that E.T. travels on looks very similar to a Core Ship, meaning that the Trade Federation, Techno Union, or any other wealthy financial powers may have been key in financing this expedition.
E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet, a tie-in novel to the film, a character mentions that she needs help with her "basic". However, in the context of the book, "basic" is a reference to the computer programming language known by that name.
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.
Pat Welsh, the woman who did the voice for E.T. in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, also did the voice for the bounty hunter Boushh in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. (Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi DVD Commentary)
Braxas may have been of this species.
