I'd get Lucas and Speilburg to write/produce/direct.

The actors would be the TNG cast and RotJ cast, made to look much younger with the help of CGI.

The 3 sane ones will immediately kill Berman.

Kenedy has (I think) recently come to his senses. He will sit in the corner, while Lucas writes the story, and Mike corrects the errors.

3? I'll give you 2, maybe. Lucas seems to have been coked up a lot since the OT.

I don't know the names of too many script writers off-hand. As for directors, who's really a good space opera director? I don't know if I can really name one who's active today, but if I had to pick, I'd say Nick Meyer.
What actors would you chose to have in it and what time line would you use for the story
I'd send the TNG crew out for one last spin, since I am not a fan of the DS9 crew and I think people know what I think of Voyager.

As for timeline, I'd put it somewhere after the last films of the respective series, because that's where everyone would expect it to be. In ST, it would have to be immediately after Nemesis in order to use the TNG crew and not have them be senior citizens. In SW, it would have to be at least a few generations after ROTJ or else people will be asking where all of the ROTJ characters are (I seriously believe that dredging up original actors like Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford for a sequel would be a bad idea).

Other questions come to mind, like "do we use a Trek opening, with long credits, or a SW opening, with a bombastic theme and an opening crawl (and no credits at all)?"

For storyline, I would suggest something along the lines of a damaged Borg sphere showing up in Federation space carrying the Queen. After the cube is disabled and the Queen is captured, they accost her and ... she asks for help (cue bombastic music buildup). After some (hopefully efficient) intrigue and exposition, they figure out that the Borg opened up some kind of wormhole to another galaxy, where they assimilated several worlds before coming under a devastatingly vengeful counterattack which poured into their home territory and wiped out most of the Collective.

That would be one possible setup, anyway (I suppose there are others which could work well, but that was the first thing that popped into my head). I suppose the other party could be a somewhat corrupt but legitimately pissed New Republic, in order to maintain continuity with the books. After that, who knows ...

I'd use an unknown cast, set it in TOS era, and have Spielberg or maybe David Fincher direct.
Writer? Dunno, but I'd have Saxton for technical advisor.

Setup? Maybe an Ikonian twist of some sort.

Though Graham Keneddy has written horrid stuff like the portal he still remains one of the best experts on star trek. His experstise would come as useful in a st vs sw movie as Saxton's knowledge on star wars.
The 3 sane ones will immediately kill Berman.
Rick berman or any of the TNG production staff involved with Voyger should not be allowed in this film. They will turn it into something like they did with the previously cool concepts like the borg, I can not imagine Berman dumbing down the Galactic Empire.

He maybe terrible when it comes to star wars but you can not deny his knowledge on star trek.

Rote recitation of facts does not entail analytical ability. This guy still thinks the E-D can shrug off a laser of any power level, even a planet-killer laser, solely because of one possible interpretation of a casual line of dialogue in one episode of TNG.

His site says so, at least. There is a slim possibility that he does not believe this but stuck it up to annoy the warsies.

Yes, much of his site is very good. Internally I find it quite a useful resource.

He marks the speculation as such. It's a very useful site for finding canon material, and there's lots of pretty pictures.

Actually, he marks his "E-D immune to lasers of any power level" idiocy as canon fact, not speculation.

That is one of the reasons why DITL is so controversial. Still that aside most of his work is pretty reasonable. He has a great collection of images from star trek shows and seems to be pretty good at analyzing them.
His site says so, at least. There is a slim possibility that he does not believe this but stuck it up to annoy the warsies.
I also think that is a possiblity. Graham Kennedy might doing it just for the sake of annoying people.

Though his analysises contain a lot of speculation they are still quite reasonable.

That is one of the good things about DITL. Graham Kennedy mentions clearly the difference between canon and his speculations.

Its just that he sometimes mislabels speculation as canon.

Also keep Braga away. Anyone who worked on Voyager or Enterprise should be kept at at least arm's length.

I'll assume that this is to be a wormhole through both space and time, since the OT occured "al long time" before 1977 and Star Trek takes place roughly four hundread years after. If this is the case, then how could the Trek galaxy possibly avoid being completely dominated by the Empire? Even if they managed to close the wormhole the Empire could still send a few fleets of ISDs filled with battledroids between the galaxies using normal hyperdive to reinforce their existing human-crewed ships.

I don't know about writers, directors, blah blah blah. But I would probably go with TNG cast for the Trek, and a new cast for Star Wars. You need TNG in there, the original Wars actors are not as required. Storyline? I would dumb down the power of Star Wars for storyline and battle purposes. Honestly it's not gonna be that cool of a movie with Wars just wiping away all competition without breaking a sweat, I'd probably say Wars having a firepower level of about Wong's first fanfic.

Actually, best timeline for the most interesting battles would be Feds a few centurys ahead in the future vs. Wars, that way we are still true to the power of Wars without having them step all over Trek as horribly as they would in TNG era.

For storyline? Let Stravo write it :D .
