You're right about Star Wars taking place "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away". Unfortunately, I haven't come up with a plausible way to get the Rebel Fleet to Axis-split Earth--much less back to galactic civilization; sorry. Besides, that's what ISOTs tend to be anyways, correct?

But now you you have given the Empire the victory and doomed the Nazis as the Rebels most likely will work with the American Resistance in Nazi America and the Japanese Pacific States.

Yes, the former prospect is the most unfortunate element of the scenario. I'm still skeptical that the Rebels would invest so much in the American Resistance when there's the possibility that they'd prioritize finding their way back home first and foremost.

Do they know which Galaxy they come from, and also i think you can put this in the Media Hub if you like, seems there is a lot to discuses about, Called it, Star Wars Rebels in the Man in the High Castleverse ore something like that.

Depends who do the space battle.

Indeed. A clash between, say, the Borg and the Federation will look much different compared to one between the Rebels and the Empire. Hence, the resulting open-endedness of this scenario makes it too frivolous to deserve its own thread.

Palpatine in Hitler's mind on just our Earth would be interesting. Even though he wouldn't have Force powers, Palpy would still be formidable in Hitler's body, with his political and manipulation skills as shown in the films.

When would he be ISOTed into Hitler's body, do you think? And would he possess Der Fuhrer's memories, if not necessarily (all of) his personality?

I'd also like to explore both Earth's and the USS Enterprise crew's reactions to the whole ISOT.

Here is a fun question i always have with ships ore stuff from TV series ore movies that appear in OTL, do the creators like Paramount Pictures who owns everything related to Star Trek have the right to claim ownership of the USS Enterprise and everything onboard.

Regardless of the legal debate surrounding that issue, I doubt that Captain Picard & Co. would be willing to surrender themselves over to an earthy entertainment studio who happens to have made media and approved merchandise based off of their lives. Paramount Pictures would in all likelihood be smart enough to recognize this; their people aren’t stupid...hopefully.

  Good question.  I suspect neither.  They would seek to do what they thinks best for Earth and humanity and I doubt accepting the authority of either of those bodies, or any other would be that good for such a mission. Not to mention what the non-human crew members would think, along with any humans born either off Earth or outside the US.

  Given that our Earth is presumably in a different universe as presumably no Vulcans or others about, would they decide that the prime directive applied?  If it is the same universe then 1st contact has been effectively established so would remove any restrains from the Vulcans and other about making some contact I suspect.

Well the Trekkies out there can stick their tongs out to the "Warsie" as their idols just became real.
