Multiverse story have become more prominent than ever in late years , and I have a few hypothesis about how different franchises could connect toStar Wars . While any movie or telecasting show should stand on its own merit , revealing that disjoined stories exist within a multiverse creates multitudinous possibilities . It makes crossover events possible and leave item-by-item narrative to become part of something greater , allowing viewers to revisit them with new context of use .
Despite this potential and the uprise popularity of multiverses , Star Warshas only dabble with alternate timelines . The originalStar WarsExpanded Universe was supersede by the novel official Disney canon ; theStar Wars : Visionsanimated seriestells multiple non - canon stories free-base onStar Wars , andtheStar warfare : Infinitiescomicsexplored alternate outcomes for the original trilogy . I believeStar Warscan take this a measure further and welcome other sci - fi and fantasy franchises into a big multiverse .
10Dune
A classic sci-fi story that heavily inspired Star Wars
Frank Herbert’sDunewas one of several story that George Lucas drew inspiration fromwhen creatingStar Wars . Story conceptsStar Warstook fromDuneinclude being lay on a desert planet , a galactic empire , and a chosen one ’s fall from goodwill . BecauseStar Warsis based on the hero ’s journeying , which observe the similar account structure present across cultures , I conceive having Dune in the same galaxy or multiverse would be meet .
9THX 1138
George Lucas' directorial debut
THX 1138was George Lucas ' first sci - fi movie and his directorial debut , and the title has continually seem as an easter egg in Lucas ' other project . Set in a dystopian future tense where humanity lives underground and suppresses all emotion , THX 1138tackles several themes that Lucas would later research in greater deepness withStar Wars .
Being created by the same man givesTHX 1138andStar Warsample justification to exist in the same multiverse .
8E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Fun easter eggs between filmmaking legends
As longtime friends and collaborators , George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have included several reference to each other ’s films . InE.T.the Extra - mundane , the little alien seems to recognize a shaver dressed as Yoda on Halloween . InStar warfare : Episode I - The Phantom Menace , E.T. ’s specie have their own cod in the Galactic Senate Chamber . The only problem here isStar Warsbeing a flick and a real place , but I ’ve noticed how another sci - fi franchise offers a possible account .
7Men In Black
George Lucas may have lived Star Wars before writing it
As a storey about aliens living in secret on Earth , theMen in Blackfilms have a lot of merriment referencing famous people . One scene in the first moving-picture show show several recognizable figures being monitored , include George Lucas , incriminate thatStar Wars ' creator is an alien inMen in Black . This would be a hilariously meet explanation for howStar Warsmade its way to Earth from a galaxy far , far off , and alien species could cross between franchises .
6Lucasfilm’s Alien Chronicles
Books that could easily connect with Star Wars
A trilogy of novel indite by Deborah Chester , Lucasfilms’sAlien Chronicleswas based on foreign tool fromMonsters and Aliens from George Lucas(1993 ) by Bob Carrau .

While not officially connected toStar Wars , some elements fromAlien Chronicleslater appear in officialStar Warsreference guides . The trilogy was originally conceived as humanity ’s origin in theStar Warsuniverse , and while the terminal intersection only boast aliens , the story would be a fascinating addition toStar Warslore .
5Willow
An official part of Star Wars lore (at least for one day)
On April Fool ’s Day 2006,StarWars . Com ’s Databank was updated to includeWillow , temporarily retconning Warwick Davis ’s background character inStar war : Episode I -The Phantom Menaceas Willow Ufgood . While this was a laugh , Leland Chee later confirmed thatLucas Licensing had consider incorporatingWillowand its sequel novels , The Chronicles of the Shadow Wartrilogy , intoStar Warscanon .
The theatrical role Warwick Davis in reality played inThe Phantom Menace ’s podrace scenery , Weazel , later returned as a member of Enfys Nest ’s marauders inSolo : A Star Wars Story .
MakingWillowpart of aStar Warsmultiverse would be another style to capitalise on these musical theme .
4Spaceballs
The definitive Star Wars parody film
A parody of theStar Warsoriginaltrilogy , Spaceballshas an esthetically similar anatomical structure with a comedic twist . This makesSpaceballsthe idealistic story to establish as an alternate timeline in aStar Warsmultiverse , with interchangeable characters and events that play out in dissimilar way .

3Star Trek
Star Wars’ oldest sci-fi rival
Star WarsandStar Trekare two of the large rivals in modern sci - fi and are very different , and that ’s why I find a possible crosswalk so fascinating . Star Warstakes rank long ago in another galax , bringing classic fabulous motifs into New times , whereasStar Trekis about what our galaxy could become in the hereafter . It ’s no wonderment that there are so many fan - made crossover between these franchises , and aStar Warsmultiverse could make it prescribed .
Star Trekhas repeatedly employ the multiverse , so crossing over to theStar Warsgalaxy would be entirely possible . The canyon brusque story " The Whills Strike Back " by Tom Angleberger , publish inFrom a Certain item of View : The Empire Strikes Back , confirms thatsome version ofStar Trekexists in Star Wars :
elude the dreaded Imperial Starfleet –
Wait … " Starfleet " ? Did you just say " Starfleet " ? Are Kirk and Spock travel to show up next ?
I do n’t even love what Kirk and Spock are !
While this may just be a fun reference book , formally seeingStar WarsandStar Trekin the same storywould be a dream come rightful .
2The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
A multiverse connection is very possible
The MCU andStar Warsare the two biggest franchises own by Disney , so ifStar Warswere to queer over with another property , this is likely where we would start . The multiverse conception is highly prominent in the MCU , specially sinceAvengers : Endgame , with Phases 4 , 5 , and 6 collectively dubbed " The Multiverse Saga . " Even before the MCU was conceive , Marvel Comics explored the multiverse for 10 through their " What If … ? " imprint .
An iconic Star Wars positioning may have been have in What If … ? episode 8 , secretly set up that the space opera is part of MCU ’s multiverse .
This concept was accommodate as an animated MCU serial publication , andWhat If … ?season 1 , instalment 8 " What If … Ultron Won " possibly features Mustafaras the fictitious character battle across the multiverse . If this does confirm thatStar Warsand the MCU are part of the same multiverse , I think it would be interesting to see teams like the Guardians of the Galaxy interact withStar Warscharacters . We could always begin humble , as Marvel currently publishesStar Warscomics .
1Indiana Jones
More connections to Star Wars than Harrison Ford
I believe George Lucas ' second major franchise , Indiana Jones , has the most justification for fit into aStar Warsmultiverse . Indiana Jonesis the only franchise on this list to have an formally write crossing over withStar Wars(albeit a non - canon one ) inStar Wars Tales#19 ’s " Into the Great Unknown " by W. Haden Blackman . After accidentally move to Earth via lightspeed , Han Solo is killed by Native Americans , and his eubstance is eventually fall upon by Indiana Jones .
away from this humorously disconsolate narration , there are multipleStar Warsreferences in theIndiana Jonesmoviesand frailty versa , including the hieroglyphs of R2 - D2 and C-3PO inRaiders of the Lost Ark. Star Wars : The Clone Warsalso has severalIndiana Jonesreferences , most notably the Crystal Skull of Akator in the Trandoshan trophy elbow room in time of year 3 , episode 22 " Wookiee Hunt . " It is this easter egg that provides the most strong link between the two universes .
While Star Wars is place in a galax far , far aside and Indiana Jones on Earth , an intriguing hypothesis reveals how the franchises are bound together .
Near the end ofIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , Harold Oxley saysthe Crystal Skull aliens are"Interdimensional beings"who go to the"space between spaces . “TheStar WarsTV show have introduced a realm connecting distance and clock time called the " World Between Worlds . " This seems like a solid foundation for aStar Warsmultiverse , one that could flourish toIndiana Jonesand beyond .
