It was revealed earlier today that Doctor Who alum Matt Smith will be joining Episode IX in an undisclosed, but “key” role. Smith, whose work also includes The Crown and Terminator: Genysis, brings a pretty passionate fanbase along with him, along with quite a lot of speculation as to who he could be playing.

Smith is just the latest actor to make their jump to the Star Wars universe, with Keri Russell, Dominic Monaghan, Richard E. Grant, and Naomi Ackie all having mysterious roles in Episode IX as well. But considering the crossover love of both Doctor Who and Star Wars, it looks like Smith’s casting has struck a particularly good chord with fans online. Some are expressing their excitement in delightfully nerdy ways, while others are coming up with a bunch of possibilities as to who he could be playing. Here’s a round-up of some of those responses.
