Oscar Isaac to Appear at Star Wars Celebration, Fueling Return Rumors

May 03,2025 Author: Zoe

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. The event, scheduled to take place in Tokyo from April 18 to 20, has sparked widespread speculation about the return of Poe Dameron to the beloved galaxy far, far away. The official Star Wars Celebration Instagram made the announcement, fueling anticipation among fans.

The precedent for such announcements was set at Star Wars Celebration 2023, where Rey actress Daisy Ridley confirmed her role in an upcoming film. This has led fans to wonder if Isaac might follow suit and announce his involvement in a new Star Wars project. The Sequel Trilogy concluded in 2019 with "Star Wars: Episode 9 - The Rise of Skywalker," after which Isaac expressed mixed feelings about his involvement in the franchise. Initially, he humorously mentioned he'd only return if he needed "another house or something," but by 2022, he told Variety he was "open to anything," indicating a shift in his stance.

Isaac has also been vocal about his dissatisfaction with Disney's handling of the Sequel Trilogy, particularly their rejection of his idea for a romance between Poe and John Boyega's character, Finn. He noted that the "overlords were not ready for that." Similarly, Boyega has had a tumultuous relationship with Disney and the franchise but has expressed openness to future roles.

The speculation about the return of the main trio from the Sequel Trilogy is further fueled by the upcoming Rey film, set to take place 15 years after the events of "The Rise of Skywalker." In this film, Rey aims to rebuild the Jedi Order. Ridley has voiced her desire for Boyega to reprise his role alongside her, and with Isaac completing the trio, his return seems plausible. Fans are eagerly awaiting Star Wars Celebration 2025 for definitive answers, although they may have to wait longer to see what unfolds.

This anticipation is compounded by Disney's repeated delays of the Star Wars films, despite having over a dozen projects announced. The Rey film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, remains undated but could potentially be released as early as December 17, 2027.
