And some actually want Smith to appear as The Doctor in Episode IX (because, let's face it, The Tardis is a tad more powerful than the Millennium Falcon).

In fact, some have noticed that Episode IX has not only cast an ex-Time Lord, but time-travelling actors like Dominic Monaghan (Charlie from Lost), Keri Russell (Felicity Porter in Felicity) and Domhnall Gleeson (Tim in About Time).

And others have speculated Smith could use the Tardis to travel back to the events of Episode I to prevent the rise of the galaxy's most dangerous Sith.
