Oscar Isaac Confirmed for Star Wars Celebration, Fuels Return Rumors

Star Wars enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement as Sequel Trilogy star Oscar Isaac is set to make an official appearance at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Tokyo, scheduled from April 18 to 20. The announcement was made via the official Star Wars Celebration Instagram, fueling speculation about the potential return of Isaac's character, Poe Dameron, to the Star Wars universe. Fans are drawing parallels to Daisy Ridley's appearance at Star Wars Celebration 2023, where she announced her involvement in an upcoming film, sparking hopes that Isaac might share similar news.

The Sequel Trilogy concluded with "Star Wars: Episode 9 - The Rise of Skywalker" in 2019, leaving fans eager for more. Initially, Isaac expressed reluctance to return, humorously stating in 2020 that he would only come back if he needed "another house or something." However, by 2022, he softened his stance, telling Variety that he had "no real feeling one way or another" and was open to possibilities.

Isaac has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with Disney, particularly regarding the rejection of his proposal for a romance between Poe and Finn, played by John Boyega. Boyega also expressed mixed feelings about his experience with the franchise but later indicated openness to future roles.

Rumors are swirling about the potential return of the Sequel Trilogy's main trio in the upcoming Rey film, set to take place 15 years after "The Rise of Skywalker." This film will follow Rey as she endeavors to rebuild the Jedi Order. Daisy Ridley has voiced her desire for Boyega to join her, and with Isaac's appearance at the Celebration, fans are hopeful that Poe Dameron might also return. While definitive answers may come at Star Wars Celebration 2025, the wait for concrete news might be long due to Disney's repeated delays of Star Wars projects.
