Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Three members of E.T.'s species make a cameo appearance in The Phantom Menace — and there's both lore and a behind-the-scenes story.

With the release of Top Gun: Maverick this week, we're reminded that not every hit film gets a sequel fast-tracked. 

Ray Park, who played the character in Episode I, would have reprised the role.

We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Special Edition of Return of the Jedi with a look back at all the galactic adventures to hit the big screen so far.
