To cross The West Wing with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for example, all you have to do is have characters run into each other somewhere, and there are myriad reasons why they could be in the same place. No muss, little fuss. Some difficulty may arise with properties that are removed in time, but there are often ways around that. Star Wars, though, has no time or space overlap with other properties. It's a long time ago and in a galaxy far, far away. And it doesn't have any ready-made ways around that like some other SF properties do. Now if you cross it over with one of those, like Trek or Doctor Who, you can use what that property provides. Otherwise, you have to introduce some outside catalyst. Not difficult, but it's an extra step. Well, I always ignored the 'Long Time Ago' thing, but that's just me. SW also has hyperdrive, which basically rips holes into space/time. I can see a hyperdrive accident dropping, say, the Rock Dragon onto present day Earth, say around Tokyo?

I can see a hyperdrive accident dropping, say, the Rock Dragon onto present day Earth, say around Tokyo? That hasn't been done before at all, now has it? And masterfully done, I might say. I'm actually trying to cross high-tech futuristic earth (not ST) with NJO SW. I haven't gotten to the actual cross part of it yet, but I've already detected several things that I'm going to have to deal with. Not the least of which is that the universe I'm crossing with does NOT have the reactionless drive. It uses projected gravitonic plates sandwiching the ship causing forward motion. This should prove to be an interesting ride. S.
