The Galactic Mashup: What's at Stake in the Marvel Star Wars Crossover The news that Marvel and Lucasfilm are teaming up for a crossover event has sent shockwaves through fandom, bringing together characters from Star Wars and the Marvel Universe.

On the surface, the idea seems tantalizing, with Kevin Smith promising to write a "true love letter" to both franchises as creative consultant on the project.
