I'm not familiar with the Star Wars Past (like 10,000 years ago) but wasn't there a time BEFORE the force?  What if the Trek time period took place in this era.  That way there would be no problems with lightsabers and no force.  I know, "there ain't no Star Wars without the Force, but I'm just trying to think of an alternative.
