Don't really see the purpose of that. A crossover event? That would be a huge challenge, as unlike Marvel, they would have to come up with entirely new characters.
I like the idea of having lots of characters in a shared universe and having cameos with multiple characters is great. However, I'd prefer if the focus in Star Wars remained on individual storylines.
If anything, having Star Wars influenced by Marvel is a major part of why the new trilogy was so cringy at times. We don't need the quips and subversion in the Star Wars universe. Star Wars also already has a fan base that will allow Disney to print money. They just need to keep focusing on making good Star Wars content that is true to its source. Making Star Wars in to Marvel or Pirates of the Caribbean is only going to further off put their existing fan base.
