Oscar Isaac's appearance at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Tokyo (April 18-20) has ignited speculation about Poe Dameron's return to the Star Wars saga. The official announcement on Star Wars Celebration's Instagram follows Daisy Ridley's 2023 appearance, where she announced her involvement in a new film. This has led fans to wonder if Isaac will make a similar announcement.
The Sequel Trilogy concluded in 2019 with The Rise of Skywalker, and Isaac's stance on returning to the franchise has evolved. Initially hesitant, expressing in 2020 that he'd only return for financial reasons, he later told Variety in 2022 that he was "open to anything." He previously criticized Disney for rejecting his proposed romance between Poe and Finn. John Boyega, who also expressed past negativity towards Disney and the franchise, has similarly indicated openness to future roles.
This fuels speculation about a potential reunion of the Sequel Trilogy's main trio—Rey, Finn, and Poe—in the upcoming Rey film, set approximately 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, as she rebuilds the Jedi Order. Ridley has publicly expressed her desire for Boyega's return, making Poe's inclusion a logical next step. Star Wars Celebration 2025 may offer some answers, but with Disney's repeated delays of multiple announced Star Wars films, the earliest potential release date for the Rey film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, is now December 17, 2027.
