Will Pathfinder 2nd edition revised include lore and rule systems from starfinder? I'm considering purchasing the Pathfinder solidarity bundle and I don't want to waste my money. I'd like the revised rules to include everything from Pathfinder and starfinder so that I can choose the timeline that I'd like to play without needing to change rule systems. Thoughts?
I think the chances of that happening are about as zero as you can get. Remaking Starfinder to be PF2 compatible and including it would not be a small thing.
Also, the upcoming books that have been announced for SF dont look like a whole new edition is planned soon.
Also, how do you include Starfinder lore that’s set in the sci-fi future? The Pact World planets are already in from PF1 albeit not called that, but unless there’s a reason for some vesk to swing by it doesn’t make sense.
Starfinder has always been a separate system from PF2, and there’s been zero indication that’s changing any time soon.
Starfinder is a different game, with different rules from Pathfinder. And Paizo deliberately created The Gap as part of the Starfinder world, so that the timelines can (and already do) diverge.
Well, not diverge as such. Probably more like "we don't want to straightjacket what we put in either Pathfinder or Starfinder adventures by trying to maintain 'historical accuracy' between the two and try to develop thousands of years of backstory to 'explain' how everything progressed from the Age of Lost Omens to the Signal."

Conveniently the gap separates the two-game lore wise, so everything that happened in between them has been lost. Paizo has done one cross over adventure so far. Starfinder Society Special #3-99: Perils of the Past, and Pathfinder Society Special #3-99: Fate in the Future. So it must be someone on the mind at Paizo. Lore wise, mostly what I would like to see is just having Pathfinder being a convenient way to have interesting archaeologic sites in Starfinder.
Rule wise, the need to do SF2e to get OGL free makes it likely Paizo would use the PF2e base core rules to do so. But that doesn't mean it has to be an exact copy of the rules like the three action economy. It will likely have the remaster changes, too, like no alignment and dropping the ability scores. My guess is it will be much closer to compatibility but still require some conversion.

No, but weirdly enough, it will include Thirsty Sword Lesbians.

Finally, some modern game design!
