Star Wars Celebration Confirms Oscar Isaac Appearance, Sparking Rumors of His Return to the Galaxy Far, Far Away

Oscar Isaac's Star Wars Celebration 2025 Appearance Fuels Poe Dameron Return Speculation

The official announcement of Oscar Isaac's appearance at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Tokyo (April 18-20) has ignited fan speculation about a potential return of Poe Dameron. This follows Daisy Ridley's 2023 Celebration appearance, where she announced her involvement in a new Star Wars film.

The Sequel Trilogy concluded in 2019 with The Rise of Skywalker, and Isaac's stance on returning to the franchise has evolved. Initially expressing reluctance, he later stated he was "open to anything."

His past criticisms of Disney, including their rejection of a Poe/Finn romance, haven't dampened the possibility of his return. Similarly, John Boyega, who also voiced past frustrations, hasn't ruled out future involvement.

This fuels speculation about a 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. Ridley has already expressed her desire for Boyega's return.

While Star Wars Celebration 2025 might offer clues, fans face a lengthy wait for confirmation. Disney's repeated delays of several announced Star Wars projects mean the earliest possible release date for the Rey film (directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy) is now December 17, 2027.
