What would happen if a 200000 light years wide spiral galaxy collided with the Milky Way?

Likely the two galaxies would become one. Though there is some speculation in all likelyhood some stars would be lost in the process.
Incedentally in 3-5 billion years the galaxy Andromeda may collide with the milky way and it is about that size (a little smaller). In all likelyhood whan that happens our star will probably be lost fly out into the universe or into another dwarf galaxy.
Whatever happens the two galaxies would take a different course through the universe depending on how much mass the colliding galaxy has. (if it is Andromeda it is likely that we will continue on the course that we are on now)
