Maybe its because we’ve already had the greatest possible Star Wars crossover

One interesting thing about Star Wars is that it basically never does crossovers

Not even in the Disney era has there been a Marvel/SW comics event, which really says something

I think the only fictional series to pull off a semi-crossover with Star Wars was The Muppet Show???

It's come to my attention that Link Hogthrob and the crew of the SwineTrek will be stepping down from their Space Force positions as well.

Fox should have been a guest on a Muppets movie, not a Mario one.

Like, Pigs in Space was a thing in Muppet history, it'd fit.

92. Dr. Julius Strangepork (The Muppets) - originally performed by Jerry Nelson and currently by Matt Vogel

Mainly appearing in the Pigs in Space sketches, Dr. Strangepork is the German accented scientist of the Swinetrek, but has made appearances outside of those segments.

If they’re in spaaaaace I assume they’re Captain Link Hogthrob, First Mate Piggy, and Dr. Julius Strangepork, aboard the Swinetrek. Hope that helps.

Introduce yourself with 4 spaceships.

A screengrab from the opening credits of Mork and Mindy, showing Mork's egg ship hurtling towards the Earth. Schematics of the HMS Nike from Weber's Honorverse.
