I was thinking that a story line which it is found out that the BORG originated from the Star Wars galaxy would be cool.

One is set in a galaxy far far away a long long time ago. The other is set in the 24th century or something. Q could make it happen (which he did in Far Point). It's possible but the question is "why?".

Not a good idea...why? Well, from a continuity standpoint, the Star Wars saga began "Long long ago, in a Galaxy far, far away." While Star Trek is few hundred years in the future. This means that all the characters familiar in the Star Wars movies would have been dead eons before either Star Trek or Star Trek NG characters were born.
The only way you could possibly combine the two would be to use a "time machine" device...but what would be the point? The Star Wars story is about use or misuse of an underlying force of nature, whereas Star Trek is about the human quest for knowledge and adventure, and any use or misuse is of technology, not paranormal forces.
If you use the premise you describe in your question, you negate what makes the BORG so eerie: the fact that they don't have any apparent individuality and are therefore totally removed from spirituality. They are hyper-technological, which is the antithesis of the Star Wars universe. So, although a cool idea at first glance, I think you'll have a tough sell to true nerds, Trekkie's or Star War officiandos.

Wow I was about to come on here and yell at you to, but the thing with the borg is a pretty good Idea. I think it could work if you left out starfleet all together and just had the borg in the starwars universe, that could actually be pretty cool.

It would have to be handled very delicately since both films have their rapid fans.
I am a dyed in the wool Trekkie. I've been devoted to Star Trek since I first watched it in 1966.
I am very proud that I walked out of Star Wars in 1977, and have never liked any of the Star War films.
So it would be O.K. for me if the Star Trek characters kicked the stuffing out of the Gemdai knights and Star Fleet flew circles around any kind of Death Fart or singed Naboo to dust.

I have to go along with the other five answers...no to a crossover film. The two series wouldn't work well together besides the fact that one of the creators (IE: Gene Roddenberry) is dead and wouldn't be able to participate in any collaborative venture anyway.

you can't mix the two worlds, they belong to different genres: star trek is classic sci-fi with big contact points with the real world, while star wars is more fantasy-like and takes place in a universe deliberately different from ours

No. That borders on sci-fi heresy, in fact.
Edit:
Kevin and pm: While I hate this Borg crossover idea, I thought I'd point out that there's no point of reference for "Far, far away" or "long, long ago." It was far, far away from the perspective of the unnamed storyteller/narrator. If it was long, long ago and far, far away from our (that is, yours and mine) present time and position, how is it that there are human beings in the story?

If I had to sit in a theater full of star wars fans, I'd have to go all Klingon on their butts.
