Not sure if anyone saw this or not (I did when I went to see Episode I when it came out) but in the first Senate scene in EI you can see E.T.'s species, it's not hard to see, it's in the beginning of the scene.

Yes I did notice this. The reason the E.T. aliens are there is because of the close friendship between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. If you also noticed, the big spherical trade federation ships on Geonosis in EP II:AOTC are made to resemble the ship that E.T. was taken away on at the end of Spielberg's movie.

There's one more hidden gem in Phantom Menace that is a tip of the hat to E.T.- Just after or heroes land on Tatooine and Padme wants to go with Qui-Gon because "The Queen is curious about the planet", pay close attention over Qui-Gon's left shoulder: As Qui-Gon says, "This is not a good idea" in the background rising into the sky is the tiny image of Elliot and E.T. on Elliot's bicycle! Now I've used super-zoom and freeze-frame on that scene (with my 42 inch widescreen tv) and all I can really see is two grayish triangles with something white in between them (maybe) moving upward into the sky.  |

Ki Vaan I saw that too about 4-5 days ago when I was freeze framing the whole movie( that was about 5 hours of my life wasted) and I saw that.

One must also remember that in ET when they're going trick or treating, that ET sees a kid dressed up like Yoda and starts running(waddling) towards him yelling "HOME HOME HOME".
In reference to this, I have a good sized ET, and a jedi cloak for him to boot.
Here's a pic, watch out it's reeeeeally large, might take a while to load.

That's right! ;D Now it's really hard to find them if you don't know exactly where to look- The time index is 00:16:57 Obi-Wan and Anakin are chasing Zam and they have both started flying straight down. This is a few seconds before Obi-Wan starts yelling "Pull up Anakin!" Around the time I listed above there will be a long shot of Zam's speeder flying down from the top of the screen to the bottom, followed by Anakin/Obi-wan. What you have to do is look in the extreme bottom left corner- there will be a section of orangy looking buildings that the X-Wing and TIEs will pass over starting at the bottom of the screen and moving upward. It helps if you have the strongest zoom on. If you catch them- you will see an X-Wing followed by what looks like Darth Vader's TIE and two standard TIEs (just like the trench scene in ANH). This is what the screenshot looks like:  And here is what you are looking for in the corner:  Have fun!  |

Heheh... going to a wedding... this time not in my Jedi costume! lol!!
I am going to look for this... I never knew!
I still haven't found that Naboo cattle critter (I forget the name of it) in the Geonosian asteroid field.
What do you call those things anyway... they look like a cross between a watermelon and a wood tick.

Hey, speaking of little tidbits in movies, did anyone notice the kitchen sink in EP III? When I read about that online I nearly died laughing!
