ET Shares Home With Iconic Star Wars Hero

During a scene where Elliot and his siblings take E.T. trick or treating, they come across a trick-or-treater dressed as Yoda. Not exactly unheard of in 1982, however it’s what E.T. says next that elevates the scene from an Easter egg to something more significant. Upon seeing the other child dressed head to toe as the pint-size Jedi Master, E.T. starts to exclaim, “Home!”

Not only does E.T. squeal the word “home” at the unsuspecting trick-or-treater, but he tries to leave the kids with him. It’s that small detail that elevates the encounter above E.T. simply pointing out, “Hey, that guy is from space, and I’m from space too!” and instead comes off as E.T. frantically begging what he thinks is an actual representative of Yoda’s species to take him back to their shared home planet.
