What would a first contact situation look like in a Star Trek/Star Wars crossover?

My understanding is, it would involve ludicrous speed to another galaxy far, far away and long, long ago...
I suppose it could've happened in TNG "Where No One Has Gone Before", during the first jump the Traveller made the Enterprise-D do.

Probably an invasion. I read some story where Wars invaded Trek and the only thing we had going on for us was doing warp straths. There's more of them and they're led by a bunch of space wizards.

IMO, it would depend on era very much.
If it was pre-TNG era, the Empire (the most powerful organisation in that galaxy could afford such engineering project) would come only to seek resources (in SW whole galaxy is discovered, populated and resources are almost depleted), so it would be an invasion, and UFP, Klingons and Romulans will be either defeated one-by-one or create an alliance (like they did against Dominion), and could learn something of their tech.
In the TNG era UFP could win and "assimilate" (speaking in Borg's words
) hyperdrive drive via revers-engineering, however, alliance and one-by-one destruction options still remain possible.
In the post-TNG era the speed capabilities of both UFP and the Empire will be almost equal, so UFP could come to the Empire first. Soon Feds would understand that Empire is kinda organisation they won't trade with because ethics and etc., and there all the "mad admiral" + section 31 stuff would begin. (Imagine an Admiral with a red light saber)
Any way, if Empire would invade part of galaxy with Feds, Klingons and Romulans they could consider themselves incredibly lucky, or else the Borg would not only win, but also strike back to the other galaxy with their own tecnology, simultaniosly wiping out life in both galaxies as we know it. Also, Vulcans and Jedi would get along well with their katra-theForse-midmeld mystical stuff

Yeah, but Wars needs to build a dedicated space station to destroy a planet. Trek can do it with one starship. (Well, maybe not completely destroy it, but certainly make it entirely uninhabitable.) Plus, you could consider the different physics of each universe. Would Wars technology even work in the Trek universe, or vice versa? Of course, that's not very interesting, so you could just ignore that and pretend everything works perfectly in every universe.
I do have to wonder if the Force would be something specific to that galaxy* or if every galaxy would have something similar to the Force that the Jedi could tap into.
There could be some story mileage in having the Jedi have to adjust to the energies of a different Force.
*The Force is always described as binding the galaxy together, not the universe.

Time travel would be needed, as Star Wars was a long, long time ago.
The Empire has some advantages, such as having most of their galaxy as a resource base and having larger (and more) vessels. However, they only have lasers. Matter-antimatter annihilation is unheard of, so it's possible the UFP has access to more raw firepower.

I hope it's an epic team-up!
Beat me to it.
That made no sense, but was a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing it!
A crossover between Star Trek and Star Wars would undoubtedly be an intriguing scenario with many possibilities. While the specific outcomes would largely depend on creative choices made.
Mayby Befriending the Jedi? Given the Federation's emphasis on diversity, tolerance, and cooperation, it is plausible that they would find common ground with the Jedi Order. Both groups value the preservation of life, protection of innocent beings, and strive to uphold justice. This could potentially lead to a friendship or alliance as they recognize shared values and goals.
Headcanon: based on a magazine photo I used to have of CMDR L SKYWALKER’s quarters door on the Enterprise-D, my assumption is that the crossover already happened, but was limited: some cosmic/Force fluke deposited post-Return of the Jedi Luke in the 24th-century Milky Way just in time to encounter the D, appear to be stranded, and temporarily stick with the D for a while until they found a technobabble way of sending him home. No large-scale civilizational contact occurred.
I asked ChatGPT to give me the plot of a Trek/Wars crossover:
Title: "Star Trek: Galaxy's Edge"
Plot Summary: In a groundbreaking collaboration, the worlds of Star Trek and Star Wars converge as the crews of the USS Enterprise and the Millennium Falcon find themselves entangled in an interdimensional rift. With the fabric of space-time compromised, Captain James T. Kirk and Han Solo must team up to navigate the unknown territory and restore balance to the galaxies.
The story begins as the USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain Kirk, receives a distress signal from an unknown source. Intrigued by the unfamiliar technology signature, the Enterprise sets a course to investigate. Meanwhile, the Millennium Falcon, piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca, is on a mission when they unexpectedly encounter a spatial anomaly, causing them to jump into a parallel universe.
As the two iconic starships cross paths, their crews face a mix of skepticism and curiosity. With the help of their respective crews, including Spock, McCoy, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and others, Kirk and Solo must bridge the gap between their universes to understand the nature of the anomaly and find a way to return home.
The crew members begin to realize that the anomaly is linked to an ancient artifact known as the "Cosmic Relic." This powerful object holds the key to manipulating space and time, but its misuse could result in catastrophic consequences for both galaxies.
As the adventure unfolds, Kirk and Solo find themselves confronting not only the physical dangers of traversing unfamiliar territories but also the clash of ideologies and cultural differences between their respective universes. They must learn to set aside their differences and work together, drawing upon their unique strengths, technology, and alliances, to prevent the relic from falling into the wrong hands.
Facing formidable enemies from both the Star Trek and Star Wars universes, including the Borg and the Sith, the crews engage in thrilling space battles and engage in strategic negotiations to safeguard their galaxies and restore equilibrium to the interdimensional rift.
In the climactic showdown, Kirk and Solo unite their crews, combining the power of the Force with the advanced technology of Starfleet. With self-sacrifice, wit, and the spirit of camaraderie, they successfully close the rift, returning both the Enterprise and the Millennium Falcon to their respective universes.
As the crews bid farewell, newfound respect and friendship have developed between the Star Trek and Star Wars characters. Their encounter has expanded their understanding of the vastness and diversity of the multiverse, leaving them with a sense of wonder and a renewed commitment to exploration and diplomacy.
"Star Trek: Galaxy's Edge" showcases the best of both beloved franchises, celebrating their distinctiveness while exploring the shared themes of adventure, discovery, and the enduring spirit of unity across the stars.

Jedi are some kind of believers as well as members of the inner circle of a mysticism. The same is true for Darth Vader.
I think the spiritual concept of Force and its mysterious nature are incompatible with the scientific approach of Star Trek.
It would be better for them to stay in their galaxy, and for us to stay in our galaxy.

I can see an outbound flight situation leaving the Rishi maze…in a Voyager situation…showing up at the Milky Way.
