I came across an article that discussed the idea of a crossover movie between the "Star Wars" franchise and the MCU. While it could "technically" happen as both are owned by the same company, I think it is just a fun "what if", though Stan Lee seems to support the idea.
Honestly, I could see it as a comic mini-series, or maybe an animated movie. There have certainly been stranger crossovers. It isn't even that outside the realm of possibility as Thanos is a galactic threat. It wouldn't be that much of a stretch to put one of the infinity gems in Skywalker's neck of the woods. It would also be interesting to see a team of jedi try to challenge the mad titan.
The obvious problem is timeline. As every movie in the "Star Wars" franchise notes, those events took place a long time ago. Maybe use the characters from the "Legacy" comics, that take place several centuries later and focus on descendants of the more well known characters of the original trilogy?
Making it canon for both franchises also adds weird implications in terms of story and the rules of the established universes. I think it's best left to the realm of a self contained "elseworld" story.
Doing a live action film of this nature is also difficult as there are just so many characters. It would get a little crowded and the story would likely suffer for it.
Still, if you're a geek, you can't help but be intrigued by the idea. Crossovers are always fun, especially when they feature such popular franchises like the two discussed here.
