I haven't seen a lot of people talk about this particular subject (outside of SW forums I assume), so I figured I'd share a video that goes over this and presents some food for thought. And if you want my personal analysis on the whole thing, we-hell, let me tell ya, I've given it some thought and the conclusion I've come to based on everything we know and everything I know about the Star Wars universe is... uh... Okay, so I don't have anything more to add. I'm just here waiting for Jar Jar Binks to be revealed as a Sith Lord.

Honestly I'm indifferent. I don't mind if Star Wars does or doesn't get in Kingdom Hearts, it's something that's not needed but wouldn't hurt to have in my opinion. It would be interesting to see but not something I'd be upset about if it didn't get in. Here I'll be giving my reasons on how and why it could work and even giving my constructive criticisms and counter arguments to what many other people have said. Note, I am not trying to cause hate in the community so if I sound a bit rude I apologize in advance. First lets start with why it should at least be considered for the Kingdom Hearts Universe. It would be a great opportunity to expand on the universe of Kingdom Hearts like Marvel and Pixar could. I actually made a list on the forum once before of movies that have never appeared in Kingdom Hearts including Pixar and Disney's translations of Studio Ghibli films. There was about 60, but not all of them could be in like Aristocats & The Lady & The Tramp due to their nature and most likely we would only have 1 Pixar movie per game. So that lowers our options to around 30-40. We also have to take into consideration how often Kingdom Hearts games are made and how often we get new Disney films. So eventually we may have to expand the universe of Kingdom Hearts and it's better to do that sooner than later. Also most of use remember the original characters and areas in Star Wars like Luke, R2D2, Chewbaca & Darth Vader. And a lot other people do especially the Star Wars fan base. It would also be a great opportunity to introduce the series to a newer and bigger fanbase than ever before. Do we want the games to sell well or be able to compete with some of the best selling games out there like Tetris, GTAV, & the original Super Mario Bros. Lastly there are a lot of options you have to the series.like a Lightsaber Keyblade, Millennium Falcon Gummi Ship parts, Darth Vader boss fight, R2D2 Summon, Luke Party member & maybe even a secret boss fight with General Grievous. There are a lot of other possibilities when it comes to Star Wars. Now let's get into how it could be put into Kingdom Hearts. First it would be better not to have Star Wars in Kingdom Hearts 3 sense this is the end of the Xehanort Saga and it would be too late in the story to add something like Star Wars into the series. We should wait until the next Saga begins. But how would it be a world? It's an entire galaxy, not a world. And sense these characters have traveled to many other planets before how would they have not ever found something like Agrabah or Beast's Castle before. You could argue something like Deep Space in Birth by Sleep but we have enough plot holes in the story to do that again. So when accessing "A Galaxy Far Far Away" (the name of the Star Wars world) you should go through a warp hole that sends you to a different region of the universe. This way, it would make sense for both travel and story. But which film? Many people say Star Wars: The Clone Wars simply because it's animated (and I'll get back to that shortly) but it would be better if we added either the first film or Episode VII: The Force Awakens (depending on it's performance) It makes much more sense and the original film is so much more iconic than the Clone Wars is (not to say it's a bad series) Now, many people have their arguments as to why Star Wars shouldn't be in Kingdom Hearts, which is fine because everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I feel like I have some counter arguments for them and feel free to leave your own down below. "It doesn't fit" This has to be the most popular of the arguments and sometimes it'll go along with the others I'll talk about but sometimes it feels like when people use this argument, they rarely go into detail as to why it doesn't fit. No matter how long you've been a fan of the series or how many games you've played. We can't predict how Tetsuya Nomura or anyone would add Star Wars or just about any film into Kingdom Hearts. Like with Big Hero 6, they said it would take place after the story of the original film and Rapunzel is most likely going to be a recreation of the original story. Plus this isn't a Disney made franchise, so who knows if Tetsuya wouldn't try something different for Star Wars or even something like the Avengers. "No live action characters please!" This is why some would want Clone War over the original films. Because their animated. Which I have to say is a silly argument. Live action does not equal bad. Yes Port Royal from the Pirates of the Carribean wasn't too great of a world but never was the KH2 version of Atlantis. Plus we're not in the 6th generation of gaming or the PS2 era any more. We're in the 8th generation with the PS4 era, Live action characters would look a lot better then before and fit even more. Plus looking at Sora in the trailers so far it seems that he himself could work with live action content better than in the other games. His eyes aren't as big and he has a lot more detail than before. Not to say he looks as real as Robert Dwny Jr as Tony Stark but he definitely fits a lot more than in live action content than before. "Disney would never allow it!"/"It may be owned by Disney but it wasn't made by them" Disney once tried to make their own Kingdom Hearts game called Fragmented Keys. Inside the concept phases was indeed both a Star Wars world called "A Galaxy Far Far Away" & even a Marvel world called "The Marvel Cinematic Universe" Plus with the inclusion of both in Disney Infinity, I'm pretty sure that's not the case. Yes, it might be a little more difficult to put them in because they have to go to not just Disney but also Lucas Films. But Nintendo was able to get their 2nd party companies like Intelligent Studios for Fire Emblem and Monolith Studios for Xenoblade in Super Smash Bros. And of course let's not forget the 3rd party characters like Megaman, Pacman & Sonic the Hedgehog. Also are we forgetting Halloweentown? Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't made by Disney but is owned by them. And what about the Pixar films. Pixar was in the same case as Marvel & Star Wars at one point, originally owned by Lucas Films from 1979-1986, to being an independent company from 1986-2006 when it was finally bought by Disney that same year (they worked with Disney from Toy Story till 2006 but they were mainly independent, The 2 even went on an ownership dispute from 2002-2006) "It doesn't have any of the themes of Kingdom Hearts!" Light vs. Darkness, Darkness being the Darkside. Friendship between characters like C-3PO & R2D2. The Power you must control, Chosen ones,'Ect. "It would ruin the Magic of the series!"/"There is no Magic in Star Wars" *cough*Tron*cough* But I digress this was never an actually reason why it can't be in. Tetsuya Nomura has never has the presence of Magic was a requirement. "It would ruin the series!" ...really? One world? One measly world in which all we have to do is at least try the idea and if it doesn't work than we can at least say we tried would end the series or at least ruin every other game than comes afterwards? Really? "It would slow the production of the game" How in what way exactly? Plus we've been waiting for almost 10 years and it all of the sudden becomes an issue it the reason was for another year was Star Wars? Plus, I've said to not put it in KH3 but instead the next Saga. And those are my reasons as to why Star Wars should be in Kingdom Hearts, how it could work and my counter arguments. If you guys have your own arguments wether that be a reason why it should or shouldn't be in please comment. I love a good debate
