Patrick Stewart Dreams of a Star Wars and Star Trek Crossover: “I Would Get Such a Kick Out of That”

The idea of a crossover between Star Wars and Star Trek has lived in fan discussions for decades — and now even Patrick Stewart is openly admitting he’s imagined it too.

In a recent interview, the legendary actor revealed that the thought of merging the two iconic sci-fi universes isn’t just something fans debate online. It’s something that’s come up behind the scenes among the Star Trek cast as well.

“I will admit that, at least for us on ‘Star Trek,’ we have fantasized about a combined universe between ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Trek’ movie,” Stewart said. “There have been a lot of ideas thrown about on putting together two iconic universes and having all of these great characters coming into contact. I would personally get such a kick out of that.”

A Sci-Fi Crossover Fans Have Wanted for Decades

A crossover between Star Wars and Star Trek would be one of the most ambitious genre mashups ever attempted. Both franchises have defined science fiction storytelling for generations, but they approach the genre from very different angles.

Star Wars leans heavily into mythological storytelling, the Force, and space fantasy, while Star Trek is rooted more in exploration, diplomacy, and speculative science. Bringing those two tones together would be a creative challenge — but also a potentially unforgettable cinematic event.

Fans have long imagined what it would be like to see characters like Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader share the screen with Captain Picard or Spock. Stewart’s comments confirm that even those inside one of the franchises have wondered the same thing.

Could It Ever Actually Happen?

While the idea is undeniably exciting, a real crossover would be complicated. Star Wars is owned by Disney, while Star Trek falls under Paramount. Coordinating a shared project between two massive studios with different creative visions and business interests would be no small feat.

Still, Hollywood has become more open to crossovers and shared universes in recent years. From Marvel and Sony collaborations to major multiverse storytelling trends, the once-impossible has started to feel a bit more plausible.

For now, Stewart’s comments are just that — a fun “what if” from one of sci-fi’s most beloved actors. But it’s enough to reignite the conversation among fans who’ve long dreamed of seeing the galaxy far, far away collide with the final frontier.

And honestly? If Captain Picard ever met a Jedi, the internet might just explode.
