Marvel meets Star Wars... only a matter of time?

I've drawn plenty of crossovers and imagined encounters of a variety of characters from separate sci-fi and fantasy universes. Some of them I've drawn simply for fun, others just because I think they look cool together. But the crossovers that I think have the greatest possibility of happening are a meeting of Star Wars and Marvel.

Star Wars and Marvel have a long history together - with George Lucas utilising Marvel comic artist Howard Chaykin to create a (legendary) poster to drum up interest in the original Star Wars movie before it even came out. Chaykin also drew the Marvel comic adaptation - which began the run of over 100 issues of Marvel's Star Wars comic-book.

Of course, Dark Horse have done, and are doing, a fantastic job now of keeping a strong comic-book presence for Star Wars. But, now that Marvel and Star Wars are both owned by Disney, isn't it only be a matter of time before the two are reunited?

And if, or when, that happens - perhaps we might even see an 'amalgam' universe (remember the 'Amalgam Comics' line from the 1990s which merged characters from the Marvel and DC comics universes?)! At least - that's the feel I wanted to capture with my trilogy of Star Wars and Marvel crossovers.

Do you think an official Star Wars and Marvel mash-up could, would... or should happen one day? And if it does - are there any characters you'd like to see meet or merged?

I think a Darth Maul / Wolverine would be interesting.
