The gravitational fields of the stars in each galaxy affects the other. There is not necessarily star and planet collisions, but the pull of a star passing by anther in a different direction mixes up the galaxies.
The pictures in the telescope are interesting.

actual no longer something. the celebs in the two galaxies are so a strategies aside that the two galaxies will merely pass by one yet another as though they have been smoke. person stars could be deflected fairly from their paths via gravitational effects, yet there'll be no effects on the planets surrounding those stars. there'll be better action picture star formation using fact of interplay of gas and dirt. Such collisions happen each and all of the time, and a re a typical area of galactic evolution. in fact, there are collisions between the Milky way and a pair of dwarf galaxies occurring at modern-day.

Much depends on the relative size of the two galaxies that collide. In general, at least some exchange of stars and nebular gases will occur between the two and the overall shape of the galaxies will be altered to some extent. Even though from the distance we view them galaxies look to be almost solid structures, they're not; there are vast distances between the stars within galaxies and collisions between stars would be few, if any.
For your information, our Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) are on a collision course right now, with a closure velocity of some 186 miles/second.

I won't be good! The black holes at the center of each Galaxy will start orbiting each other and everything in their paths will be gobbled up or catapulted into intergalactic space. Gas and dust clouds from the galaxies will collide creating millions of giant blue stars and star clusters. There is a good chance the solar system won't survive it but humanity will because we'll long since have colonized the entire galaxy unless, of course, it has already been colonized and the current owners don't approve.

1) They make a really cool picture (see below)
2) Dust and gas within the galaxies often collides. Stars usually don't because there's much more empty space than space occupied by stars in any given galaxy.
3) One galaxy might rip the other one apart.
4) Star clusters may be born.

We're on a collision course with Andromeda, the core's of the two galaxies will combine, the formation will change...now we're a comparatively flat galaxy (astronomically speaking). If i remember right, the new formation will resemble a more rounder galaxy...but don't quote me on that.

the two galaxies must stop in the region of the universe that they had the collision. They must exchange star numbers and check for any supernovas that occurred. If there were any massive explosions then they must call the galactic police and file a report. They will check to see there are also any hot gas leaks and will have to cordon off that section of the universe with asteroid belts to prevent further collisions from happening. Any space aliens who witnessed the accident will need to be questioned. "I clearly saw with my own eleven eyes, Galaxy XR451 run that Red Star over there. I tried to signal to him by waving my 57 tentacles, but he didn't see me before he veered around that Crab Nebula and smash right into Galaxy 687ZL," said Klaatu Nicto, who was at the scene. The Hubbell space telescope will be summoned to document the collision and the photographs along with the galactic police report will be sent to the God insurance agency for determination of fault and to provide coverage.

Almost nothing. The space between stars is so big that it is conceivable for 2 galaxies to pass right through each other and not have a single pair of stars collide.

Galexies will not collide. The Universe spreads outward. Take a cup of water, sprinke black pepper (or something else visable) into it and then drip a drop of veg oil into it. That's thae motion of the Uviverse.

Well, if they're not very careful, they may end up with a little baby galaxy running around...
