Barcelona Wax Museum thinks E.T. was in ‘Star Wars'

Any self-respecting Star Wars fan remembers the very first scene of A New Hope, when Princess Leia hides a secret message with R2-D2 and E.T., and the two of them escape to Tatooine.

That seems to be what's implied by the Barcelona Wax Museum ("Museo de Cera"), who casts the hero of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial in their Star Wars scene. Also included is possibly Meryl Streep as Luke Skywalker.

This is the image that has been making the rounds on Imgur and social media, but the actual scene is a bit larger. No word on whether E.T. flew his bike through the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs.

But fun fact: the E.T. species actually is in Star Wars. They show up as a cameo in The Phantom Menace, and it's very easy to miss because most people know better than to watch The Phantom Menace.
