Good films like these don't need sequels Steven knows exactly what he's talking about

I guess they forgot there was a sequel on 2019...from Xfinity/NBCUniversal where ET came to visit Elliot and his family.

[@NistaArcheri]

My idea for an Et-sequel is as follows: It takes place thousand years from now on a planet that is close to the homeplanet were the
same species as Et lives.A spaceship from earth with human embryos has arrived and robots are guarding them.
Ten years later all of the embryos has grown to be ten years old children and there are now twenty thousand of them.
They live in a underground facility that the robots has buildt for them.
But outside there are an alien species that are a treath to them.
The robots tries to fight the omnious aliens of,but gets damaged and are out of capacity to
function anymore.The children has to fight the omnious alien race of themselves.
They manage to build a device that sends out a distress signal.
The signal is picked up by the planet that has the same race as Et living on it.
They decide to send a rescue ship to save the children.
When they arrive they brings the children to their planet where they show them
a valley that is green and has a lake and small houses for the children to live in.
On of the Et's tells the children that one of them visited earth thousand of years ago.
And that makes a happy ending😀
