00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.050
In the Phantom Menace there was a brief shot
of a few E.T. like aliens in one of the senate

00:00:09.050 --> 00:00:10.050
scenes.

00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:15.309
George Lucas added them as an easter egg after
making a promise to do so to Steven Spielberg,

00:00:15.309 --> 00:00:21.980
who included star wars toys and a Yoda cameo
in his movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:27.910
In the Star Wars Universe, these E.T. like
aliens were actually referred to as Asogians.

00:00:27.910 --> 00:00:32.790
They were distinguishable by their long arms
and red eyes, and by their brown or yellow

00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:33.790
skin.

00:00:33.790 --> 00:00:36.860
Like Wookiees, most Asogians were unclothed.

00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:42.290
They originated from the planet Brodo Asogi,
also known as the Green Planet; another reference

00:00:42.290 --> 00:00:44.010
to the ET movie.

00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:49.190
The planet and the Asogian people were represented
by senator Grebleips in the Republic Senate.

00:00:49.190 --> 00:00:53.969
Senator Grebleips was best known for wanting
to fund an extra galactic expedition, possibly

00:00:53.969 --> 00:00:55.449
Outbound Flight.

00:00:55.449 --> 00:01:00.050
Near the end of the Clone Wars, Grebleips
was apart of the Delegation of 2000, a group

00:01:00.050 --> 00:01:05.069
of senators who were against Supreme Chancellor
Palpatine from gaining any more power.

00:01:05.069 --> 00:01:09.210
After the formation of the Galactic Empire,
senator Grebleips was charged with treason

00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:10.970
and arrested.

00:01:10.970 --> 00:01:15.610
The only other known Asogian is Braxas, who
had a brief encounter with Luke Skywalker

00:01:15.610 --> 00:00:00.000
after the Battle of Endor, helping the Jedi
by revealing him information on a traitor.
