Oscar Isaac has revealed what it will take for him to return to Star Wars as Poe Dameron. Though the Star Wars sequel trilogy proved divisive, there is not any denying that it launched compelling new characters for the following era, a few of whom by no means obtained the possibility to reside as much as their full potential.
One such character is Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron, a fiercely proficient Resistance pilot with a mysterious previous and a detailed relationship with Basic Leia Organa. After Poe’s misguided mutiny in Star Wars: The Final Jedi, the character was considerably sidelined within the Star Wars sequel trilogy’s ultimate installment, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, as the main focus shifted to Rey, Kylo Ren, and Palpatine’s return.
Regardless of having beforehand distanced himself from any speak of future Star Wars appearances – on the Venice Movie Competition in 2021, Isaac mentioned he was “determined to do a personality research” after being in “inexperienced display screen spaceland for fairly just a few years” (through IndieWire) – Isaac’s tune has since modified. In a latest interview with Variety, the Frankenstein actor was requested if he’d ever take into account returning as Poe Dameron:
“When requested if he’d return as Poe Dameron, he borrows a line from The Simpsons in a high-pitched little one’s voice: ‘I’m a Star Wars.’ Then he says, ‘Yeah, I’d be a Star Wars once more if there was one thing good to do with that.'”
This is not the primary time Isaac has talked about a willingness to return to the galaxy far, distant. In 2022, Isaac informed SiriusXM, “If there was an awesome story and an awesome director and [Lucasfilm president] Kathy [Kennedy] got here to me and was like, ‘I’ve this nice concept,’ then I’m so open to it.”
The sequel trilogy’s story could also be over, however the period has undoubtedly influenced Star Wars‘ upcoming initiatives. Lucasfilm at present has two motion pictures in growth set after the Star Wars sequel trilogy. These are Star Wars: Starfighter, with Ryan Gosling, set 5 years after The Rise of Skywalker, and Daisy Ridley’s return within the tentatively titled Star Wars: New Jedi Order, set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker.
Each movies are exploring uncharted territory for Star Wars, which may create the “good” or “nice story” that Isaac is in search of. There is no motive Poe Dameron could not present up in both of those two movies. Particulars are being saved below wraps, so something continues to be doable.
