Customize Incollection style

Question

The Incollection style looks like this:

However it should look like this:
Vader, Darth. "How to beat darth vader". In: Star Wars, hg. v. Skywalker, Luke und H. Solo. Naboo 2018, pp. 130-154.

So the following things need to be changed:

add hg. v. before publisher
replace semicolon with comma
the name of the publisher should be first the surname and then the forename; the second publisher should be his initial and then the surname
After the publisher there should be a fullstop instead of a comma
The address should be displayed before the year

How can I change those things?

 \RequirePackage{filecontents}

    \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
    @InCollection{vader,
        author    = {Darth Vader},
        title     = {How to beat darth vader},
        booktitle = {Star Wars},
        year      = {2018},
       %  address    = {Naboo}
        publisher = {Luke Skywalker; H. Solo},
        pages = {123-134},
    }
    \end{filecontents}



    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage[style=authortitle]{biblatex}
    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

    \renewbibmacro[article]{in:}{}



    \begin{document}
    Cite \footcite{vader}
    \printbibliography
    \end{document}

Editors (Herausgeber) of a work are given in the editor field, the publisher contains the publishing company (Verlag). Name lists are always separated with and regardless of the desired output.

I'm using my biblatex-ext style as a basis, because it allows for a slightly quicker solution to some issues, cf. Only space between location and date.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman] {babel}
\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=ext-authortitle, articlein=false]{biblatex}


\DeclareNameAlias{default}{family-given/given-family}

\DefineBibliographyStrings{german}{
  byeditor = {hg\adddotspace von},
}

\renewcommand*{\locdatedelim}{\addspace}

\renewbibmacro*{incollection:parent}{%
  \iftoggle{bbx:innamebeforetitle}
    {\usebibmacro{in:editor+others}%
     \setunit{\printdelim{innametitledelim}}\newblock}
    {}%
  \usebibmacro{maintitle+booktitle}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}\newblock
  \usebibmacro{byeditor+others}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \usebibmacro{edition}%
  \newunit
  \usebibmacro{barevolume+volumes}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \usebibmacro{series+number}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \usebibmacro{note}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \usebibmacro{publisher+location+date}}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@incollection{vader,
  author    = {Darth Vader},
  title     = {How to beat darth vader},
  booktitle = {Star Wars},
  year      = {2018},
  address   = {Naboo},
  editor    = {Luke Skywalker and H. Solo},
  pages     = {123-134},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
Cite \footcite{vader,sigfridsson}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Thanks for your answer! You're right the two names should be the editor not the publisher. You gave my quite some work. I've already spent three hours trying to get biblatex-ext running :). I hope I'll manage to get it running tomorrow and then test your code. — derd, Dec 20 '18 at 21:16

I don't know how to differentiate the formatting of the publishers names, except directly in the .bib file. For the rest here is a proposition, redefining the macro publisher+location+date:

\documentclass{article} 

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@InCollection{vader,
    author = {Darth Vader},
    title = {How to beat darth vader},
    booktitle = {Star Wars},
    year = {2018},
    location = {Naboo},
    publisher = {Skywalker Luke, H. Solo},
    pages = {123-134},
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[style=authortitle]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\usepackage{xpatch} 

\renewbibmacro*{publisher+location+date}{%
  \iflistundef{publisher}
    {\setunit*{\addcomma\space}}
    {\printtext{Hg. v.}\setunit*{\addspace}}%
  \printlist{publisher}%
  \setunit*{\adddot\space}%
  \printlist{location}%
  \setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}

\renewbibmacro{in:}{}%[article]

\begin{document}

Cite \footcite{vader}
\printbibliography

\end{document}

I'm pretty sure L. Skywalker & H. Solo are not publishers in the biblatex sense, they are quite probably editors. If one goes with editor = {Luke Skywalker and H. Solo}, the output is already much closer to the desired result, there are only a few details that need to be tweaked (see my answer). — moewe, Dec 19 '18 at 23:02
@moewe: I thought two publishers was strange, too. As I don't really speak German, I couldn't be sure, of course, so I did what I could.. — Bernard, Dec 19 '18 at 23:09
