crossovers that could've worked

Apart from the subtle Indiana Jones references and vise versa (Which makes sense since they're both from Lucasfilm), pretty much), I don't think the Star Wars license has ever officially crossed over with anything, unless you count the toys and games .

There are a group of members of ET's species in the Senate in the Prequel Trilogy. AFAIK, they're not Lucasfilm characters.

I've spotted those. Wasn't there a Klingon too?
 
Well things are Disney now in that camp. And Disney can get away with more since they are showing Doctor Who on their stations.

As for Star Wars/Indiana Jones cross references. There are hyroglyphics of R2-D2 and C-3PO in one or maybe two of the Jones filmes, while in one of the prequels there is some wall art of the Ark of the Covenent (as seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark). I don't remember exactly where.

I don't know if there was a Klingon. The Enterprise-D flies in the skies of Coruscant in The Phantom Menace. I think a 2001 travel pod does, too.

Dark Horse published a story in Star Wars Tales (which, I think, was a "what if?" sort of story) that sees Indiana Jones find the wreckage of the Falcon in the Pacific northwest.
 
Aside from the Artoo and Threepio graphics (and Club Obi-Wan) in the Indy movies, there's a teensy Indy walking up the stairs in the crowd watching the pod racing in TPM - though basically you can only make him out on a really huge cinema screen.
 
I think the ET thing was mainly George's reply to the multiple Star Wars references in E.T-the action figures and the Yoda costume (With John Williams even putting part of the Yoda theme in there!).
 
So nobody else wants to see the Doctor interact with Zaphod Beeblebrox? I know Eleven mentioned that he knew Arthur Dent, but that wasn't enough to count as a crossover. Besides, it had to be a different Arthur, since the Doctor referred to him as a nice man. While Arthur was the protagonist of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, I'd never call him nice, or likable.

I hold now and forever that Guinan is a Timelord. Why couldn't we see her and Seven together?

One of the absolute best stories in the series. I love how they tip off the reader that something's up when the Falcon flies by Jupiter.

Well, there's that pesky First Law Of Time...

Whoopi Goldberg as the Doctor wold cover at least three of the bases.
 
If there had been a Star Trek crossover in say 1968, would it have been on NBC or the BBC? Would it have been filmed in color or black and white?

It would be the Patrick Troughton era with Jamie and Zoe as companions if I remember correctly.
And hopefully Jamie's clan and Scotty's clan were not enemies back in the 1740s... :p

Bagpipes at ten paces!

Peter Davison was in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV series, as the Dish of the Day.

Actually wasn't that the USS Voyager on Coruscant?
 
Speaking of Hitchiker's Guide, of course Douglas Adams was script editor in the middle Tom Baker years. And I read somewhere recently that Adams pitched the Krikkit Wars as a Dr. Who serial. They didn't buy it, so he adapted it into "Life the Universe and Everything," the third book of the Hitchhiker's series.

OMG the whole Krikkit thing had me in stitches

Yea except whoopi's people were scattered from the Borg invasion, I doubt the time lords would even blink twice at the borg...

However I can see Q as an offshoot of the Eternals
 
Depends, did the Borg assimulate the Daleks?

Imagine the machine world Voyager 6 encountered as the proto-Borg. They are relatively peaceful. Then the Daleks come to exterminate them. In self defense, they assimulate the Daleks. Unfortunately they gain too much of the Dalek's personality. They change Exterminate to Assimulate and do to do make all Borg, rather than wipe out everything that is non-Dalek.

At which point do the Time Lords have issues with them?
 
Borg vs Dalek... oops I think there are a few actual space battles on this board. I am sure I read a thread on this here before I joined
 
I hadn't thought about that- Star Wars and Dr Who really DOES work well because Earth is never mentioned in SW. It could be out there anywhere and in any time.
As for Chewbacca's voice- see some of the outtakes where Peter Mayhew delivers some ad-libbed lines. I almost wish they had let him voice the character because his delicate voice and accent are such a jarring juxtaposition with his appearance. Looks like a savage beast- sounds like a proper English gentleman.

When did the 11th Doctor mention knowing Arthur Dent. I remember the 10th Doctor mentioning him after the sword fight at the end of "The Christmas Invasion" but I don't remember the 11th Doctor mentioning him.

And I thought Arthur Dent was a pretty nice guy, particularly when Martin Freeman played him in the 2005 movie.

On the list of Doctor Who/Red Dwarf crossovers, I'd like to include:

Going back to the idea of a Bond regeneration I found this the other day and it seemed appropriate :lol:

There was a comic artist (Rich Morris) on the net that was making a crossover Doctor Who-James Bond story. He has done a few other crossovers as well as a Ten Doctor's story. He hasn't finished it yet, but it covers the Doctor (various faces) encounters with James Bond (also various faces) and the idea that Blofeld was also an exiled Timelord who's TARDIS broke on Earth, deciding to steal the Master's TARDIS. Not sure if they came out and said Bond was a Timelord, but they did have two Bonds at once (transition from HMSS to Diamonds are Forever).

Also the concept that the reason no one believe James Bond isn't anything more than a novel or movie is that his has a simple trick that make people forget....His name (actually the specific pattern, "Bond, James Bond") The Doctor (10th) uses it on Donna, who forgets what they are talking about for a second.

So far its been the Tenth Doctor (with Craig Bond) and Third Doctor (with Moore Bond) and most of the Bonds, probably for time travel shenanigans.

Other things he has crossed with the Doctor? Jem and the Holograms (with the Sixth Doctor and Mel). Forever Knight (with the the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa, as the Eight Doctor). And a mention of Kolchak: Night Stalker crossing with Sarah Jane Smith during her time with the Fourth Doctor. (As well as an adventure with the Third Doctor to early Elizabethan times...before the Tenth Doctor would have married her)
