Following on from Darth McAdam's topic of TV references I though I would add to this to the frey.

Soulcalibur IV is due for release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 and it features Darth Vader in the PS3 version and Yoda in the Xbox 360 version.

Check out the following video at http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000601.html.

I have mixed emotions about this as I think SW characters should be in their own games(/EU) but any chance to see Yoda kick some butt is always welcomed.  On this note, though I am fustrated as I don't own an Xbox 360 (I don't currently own a PS3 but was going to get one for my birthday, are'nt I, dear gorgeous fiancee of mine!) so my predicament of playing the game would have been solved, but I want to be Yoda!!!

Have any SW characters crossed into other 'galaxies' before and what do you all think?

Personally I don't mind Star Wars characters going into other things "just for fun", but an actual crossover that affected Star Wars would offend me. I also wouldn't want non-Star Wars characters turning up in Star Wars novels/comics/games etc.

So you weren't impressed with the appearance of Indy and E.T.'s in TPM then!

I never did see Indy (wasn't he supposed to be in the crowd scene at the Pod Race?), but I thought that seeing the E.T.s in the Galactic Senate chamber was very funny.

Personally, if it's a subtle nod like that, then I think it's OK, but I'm not sure I'd want to see Captain Kirk show up with a speaking part!

Lol, I think Adam's comments sum up my attitude very precisely.
