Talk:Asogian/Legends

I just re-watched ET for the first time in about 15 years last night. There's a part where ET sees a kid dressed up like Yoda, and really wants to talk to him, but Elliot won't let him. ET recognizes Yoda! Anyway, here's a fun little theory: The "Children of the Green Planet" are the Whills, who brought the Journal of the Whills to Earth at some point. I know thats alot of speculation, but I just thought I'd share.

3 million lightyears
I was just thinking, if the 3 million LY is taken to be canon, and we also assume E.T.'s home world to be in the Galaxy, that would put the galaxy within the local group (10 million LY diameter with center between Andromeda and Milky Way). The only likely candidate would Be Andromeda itself, even though it is twice the size of the Galaxy. Hypothetically, if the planets Earth and Brodo Asogi were at extreme distances away from each other, the distance would be close to 3 million LY (2.5 million LY + 120,000 LY [the Galaxy] + 100,000 LY [Milky Way] is about 2.7 million). If Andromeda is the Galaxy, then the Triangulum Galaxy could be the Rishi Maze. Of course, I could be reading way too much into this little factoid culled from promotional movie material, but speculation is fun. :) Bocoroth 08:46, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea, it would be pure speculation, however since you are basing it on facts given in sources, it is fun to think that the little smudge in the sky is the GFFA. :) -- Riffsyphon1024 07:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Why would the only likely candidate be Andromeda? Have we documented all galaxies located at about 3 million ly from Earth? If science has indeed gone that far, that's very limiting for people with a rch imagination. --Master Starkeiller 16:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

E.T. and Indiana Jones' hat
Has anyone else noticed, in the picture of the three senators of ET's species that wookieepedia has up on that species' page, that the senator on the left seems to be wearing what looks like an Indiana Jones hat?

Could just be my eyes playing tricks on me, but it really looks like it.

Name
Anyonethought changing the name to 'Children of Brodo Asogi' or Brodo Asogans? Conjectural, but less than this one. MoffRebus 13:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The former might be better...it should probably be at least a redirect. On the other hand, if Children of the Green Planet is the only name they're given in the ET spinoff novel, that might be considered the least conjectural (just as the Firefly-class transport and Spinner are included here using the name they have in another franchise. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 17:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Timeline
so i was just pondering and it came to me that Star Wars is set a long time ago while ET is set in the relative present. that does pose a bit of a problem Csheks'a'muruodout
 * Time travel, maybe? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 17:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * ET may be a "modern" inhabitant of the world, as in, from thousands of years after the SW movies. QuentinGeorge 21:06, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey who tells us that SW occurs thousands of years before us and not, say, 2 or 3 ceonturies only? MoffRebus 21:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Except that the Senator they reference was a Senator between 33 BBY and the dissolution of the Senate, which means the trip he organized would either have to take thousands of years (which is possible, depending on their life cycle), or it was a different trip.

Language
Where is it said that they speak Basic? I know, the canonicity of this article is dubious, but I'm pretty sure E.T. didn't speak Basic, unless you want to get into the whole "Basic is not English" thing.

Familiar Species
''when E.T. goes trick-or-treating with the children, he spots a child in a Yoda mask and begins to follow that child saying "Home… home…". This could be interpreted as E.T. recognizing a familiar species from his home galaxy.'' Aren't Humans also a species from his home galaxy? (unimportant which of the two his home galaxy is) --TeakHoken84.173.70.123 23:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes but he realised soon we are quite different from the Galactic Humans who could travel in space since 200,000 years ago MoffRebus 07:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
