Oscar Isaac's Star Wars Celebration 2025 Appearance Fuels Poe Dameron Return Speculation
Sequel Trilogy star Oscar Isaac's confirmed appearance at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Tokyo (April 18-20) has ignited speculation about a potential return of his character, Poe Dameron. The announcement, made via the official Star Wars Celebration Instagram, follows Daisy Ridley's 2023 Celebration appearance and subsequent confirmation for a new Star Wars film. This has led fans to anticipate a similar announcement from Isaac.
While the Sequel Trilogy concluded in 2019 with The Rise of Skywalker, Isaac's stance on returning to the franchise has evolved. Initially expressing reluctance unless financially incentivized, he later indicated openness to future projects. He previously cited his disappointment with Disney's rejection of his proposed romance between Poe and Finn (John Boyega's character). Boyega himself has also voiced past frustrations with Disney but has expressed openness to future roles.
This renewed speculation centers on the upcoming Rey film, set approximately 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, focusing on Rey's efforts to rebuild the Jedi Order. Ridley has publicly expressed her desire for Boyega's return, and with Poe completing the Sequel Trilogy's main trio, his inclusion seems plausible. Star Wars Celebration 2025 might offer definitive answers, but fans face a potential wait.
Disney's repeated delays of various announced Star Wars films contribute to this uncertainty. The Rey film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, lacks a firm release date, with the earliest possibility now December 17, 2027.
