then there’s Borg Space Wizards around, fuckin’ shit up.
This would actually be the interesting part of mashing the two worlds together.
Because the force is inherently non-scientific, it would be interesting to see what an assimilated force user might do. Does the Borg retain the ability to use it? Is it lost? Do dark and light force users react the same way?
Does the force gain sentience, essentially using the Borg as it’s limbic system? Does the federation start to develop ForceTech and scientize humanity’s relationship with the force?
The force is either consciousness interacting either the fundamental universe at a Quantum level. Or as some star wars stories would have it the force is a lovecraftian artificial intelegence that exists in somekind of subspace that can interact in the universe through a few specific types of exotic paracite. Midiclorians for example. It is unclear which was ment to be the real story or of it matters.
I’m not sure how the Borg assimilates, but unless it can account for an actual mystical property of soul, it would get super fucking weird. I don’t even know how it would go, it would just be incomprehensible.

Nano-midiclorians
The Borg have assimilated at least one Vulcan, and Vulcans have the ability to store and transfer their katra, which are indistinguishable from souls
Lots of stuff in canon and from various creators (particularly George Lucas) suggests the force is already conscious and has it’s own agenda.
