Line 3:
* If E.T. is now Star Wars canon, why didn't he have some sort of blaster that he could use to pulverize his pursuers at the start of the movie, thus ending this thing before it could begin?
** Er, what? E.T. is Star Wars canon?
*** Technically, yes it is. George Lucas put an envoy of ETs in the galactic senate in The Phantom Menace as a joke and a [[Shout -Out]] to his old mate Stephen Spielberg. As to why ET didn't have a blaster, his race is clearly quite peaceful and even if they did have blasters, a scientist collecting samples probably wouldn't know how to use one.
*** In [http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/225698.E_T_The_Book_of_the_Green_Planet_A_Novel# E.T.: Book of the Green Planet] you see that they really are a race of botanists, and ET is pretty young for his race and still lives with his parent.
** Better question: Since ''E.T.'' is ''Star Wars'' canon, what's Elliott doing with Star Wars action figures?
