4thofelevenSo, you, like probably all right-thinking people have to have wondered at some point if Star Trek characters could travel to the Star Wars galaxy or vice versa. Bafflingly, neither franchise has directly answered that question directly – but, if you try had enough, it seems it is possible.
How? Well, you can’t get there directly, but if you’re willing to take the scenic route…
Start in the Star Wars Galaxy. Tag along with Yoda or Vader when they visit the Soul Calibur universe (Soul Calibur IV). From there, you should be able to visit the home dimension of Spawn (Soul Calibur II). It’s possible to travel from Spawn’s world to Batman’s, which gets you into the DC comics multiverse. From there, you’ve got two options – if you’re in a hurry, you can time travel to the future of the Legion of Superheroes, and take advantage of their 2011 crossover with the original Star Trek. Alternatively, you can finish up your journey by traveling through one of the various connections between the DC and Marvel comics universes, where you’ll find the X-Men have run into both the original and Next Generation Enterprise crews during a series of crossovers in the 1990s.
Incidentally, while you’re in the Marvel universe, you’ve got the option of stopping by the Doctor Who universe, as they’ve crossed over too, and go on to the Star Trek universe from there, via a recent comic series.
So there you have it! A completely plausible and canonically justified explanation for how a Jedi knight could end up commanding a Federation starship!
