Imagine if Spielberg had made E.T. and then a sequel to E.T., then another sequel, then a trilogy of E.T. prequels that deal with E.T.'s dad and the birth of E.T. and how E.T. ended up coimg to visit earth and so on, then imagine Spielberg complaining about all these other movies he had wanted to make, yet was forced to do nothing but E.T. all his life. Nope, I can't imagine it either.

You forgot the part about how, in the prequels, E.T. never left "home" but ended up on earth precisely because he was searching for a new home. And how Spielberg subsequently made a second special edition on top of an earlier special edition (which he doesn't call a "special edition" anymore) that underwent an edit of E.T.'s voice to no longer say "home" but to instead say "mothership."
