There's a scene in ET when the kids go out for Halloween, and they pass a kid dressed as Yoda. ET reacts to him, as if he knows him. If you listen carefully, you'll hear Yoda say "Home", and you may recognize that there's a musical cue from Yoda's theme taken from The Empire Strikes Back.
Years later in Star Wars ET & friends can be seen in the Senate Chamber.
And since you know that ET has powers such as restoring life and making bikes fly, you now know that ET is a really a Jedi.
NERD RULE! SUCK IT JOCKS!
