Assume that George Lucas's mom and Gene Roddenberry's Dad met in the distant past and yadda yadda yadda....
The SW and ST galaxies have merged. The Alpha Quadrant is the same as it is today with the exception that the Jedi Order is much like it is in TPM and AOTC and there is at least one Temple in San Francisco
Would the Jedi be able to properly function in a galaxy as divided as ST?

"Watching Sarli argue with Vympel, Stas, Schatten and the others is as bizarre as the idea of the 40-year-old Virgin telling Hugh Hefner that Hef knows nothing about pussy, and that he is the expert."--Elfdart

The UFP does not appear to require the Jedi. They have a low crime rate, and little internal strife from what we see on screen. The occasional problems that they have--such as the coup attempt in "Paradise Lost" would probably not be things that the Jedi could stop. The Jedi, as they are in SW, are tailored to policing and serving the Republic. I think that the UFP as it exists would have little need for them.

Re: Jedi in the Federation
Why shouldn't they? Federation citizens seem to be quite comfortable with a high level of government intrusion into their lives. They're complacent about telepaths reading their thoughts as well as Starfleet's dominance of interstellar travel and communications. I see no reason why they would object to the security organization like the Jedi Order.Darth Fanboy wrote:Assume that George Lucas's mom and Gene

*A Starfleet officer encounters a Jedi, who is using telekinesis on a rock near him*
Starfleet officer: Whoa, how'd you do that?
Jedi: Do what?
*Data enters the scene*
Data: I believe that this Jedi is manipulating the tertiary layer of subspace as to bring out a limited harmonic with the rock... umm..
*Data's head explodes due to his AI's inability to process his own technobabble*
