Feb 11, 2016 at 17:39 comment added Darrel Hoffman @phantom42: I feel like the "human" characters in SW are not actually human. They're another species that looks remarkably like us but entirely unrelated. They're artistically rendered as humans because in 1977 we didn't have the tech to make them look really alien and still be relatable characters. (We arguably still don't, e.g. Jar Jar.) Just like they seem to be speaking English, but it's not really the same language, just rendered that way for an English-speaking audience.

Aug 28, 2015 at 22:34 comment added Milo P @AugustJanse Oh, haha, missed that.
Aug 28, 2015 at 20:32 comment added ThePopMachine @phantom42: Fair point, but if you read the linked answer you'll see that the assertion is that they are of the species from the same planet.
Aug 28, 2015 at 20:26 comment added August Janse @MiloPrice It was a poke at the assertion that the answer "doesn't rely on the Extended Universe".
Aug 28, 2015 at 19:59 comment added Rogue Jedi @indiv That's too much speculation, in my opinion.
Aug 28, 2015 at 19:55 comment added indiv @RogueJedi: Maybe that implies that the E.T. species brought the knowledge and history of the great war among the stars to George Lucas, who made it into a movie.
Aug 28, 2015 at 18:53 comment added phantom42 " We have seen that species in two different galaxies. Therefore they have traveled intergalactically" We've also seen humans in two different galaxies. By your logic, that means they've traveled intergalactically as well.
Aug 28, 2015 at 18:27 comment added Rogue Jedi This doesn't really make sense. Star Wars exists in the E.T. world (Star Wars action figures and costumes are seen).
Aug 28, 2015 at 17:15 comment added Petersaber @AndrewThompson actually, YV have been infiltrating the galaxy for decades before invading. The oldest contact I remember was way before Order 66 happened. So they did get in during the movies as well.
Aug 28, 2015 at 16:46 comment added Petersaber @ThePopMachine so I gues you didn't read the part where Leland Chee says the Rebel Fleet is hiding in the intergalactic space at the end of the movie? That's not EU. That's "Lucasfilm employee". Not EU.
Aug 28, 2015 at 16:30 comment added ThePopMachine "In the Expanded Universe, there was one attempt at intergalactic travel, The Outbound Flight Project; however, it was stopped before they could leave the galaxy" ... so no intergalactic travel
Aug 28, 2015 at 16:27 comment added Andrew Thompson "None of the options given in the other answer are in the depicted era either." The first one listed was in 29 BBY..
Aug 28, 2015 at 16:21 comment added ThePopMachine None of the options given in the other answer are in the depicted era either.
Aug 28, 2015 at 16:15 comment added Milo P @AugustJanse With the current state of rebuilding of canon, any answer is probably going to rely on explanation of movie events from the EU/Legends material.
Aug 28, 2015 at 15:30 comment added Petersaber @ThePopMachine E.T. takes place in modern times. Well, relatively. Star Wars takes place a long, long time ago (as we are reminded in each intro) - so E.T. doesn't take place in "the age depicted in the movies", which the question explicitly asks about
Aug 28, 2015 at 15:16 comment added ThePopMachine @AndrewThompson: I don't understand what your comment means or why someone upvoted it. We have seen that species in two different galaxies. Therefore they have traveled intergalactically. That's the definition of intergalactic travel.
Aug 28, 2015 at 15:03 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @AugustJanse - We Are The Rebels. We Don't recognize disney canon tyranny.
Aug 28, 2015 at 14:44 comment added August Janse That answer relies heavily on Legends material, though. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial probably isn't Disney canon.
Aug 28, 2015 at 14:43 comment added Andrew Thompson It seems to me that there is no evidence that the E.T.s possessed intergalactic travel ability during the time of the SW conflicts. Don't forget the part of the quote "A long time ago.."
