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

Excitement is brewing among Star Wars fans as Sequel Trilogy star Oscar Isaac, known for his role as Poe Dameron, is set to make an official appearance at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Tokyo from April 18 to 20. The announcement was made via the official Star Wars Celebration Instagram, sparking rumors and hopes for Poe's return to the iconic galaxy far, far away. This anticipation is fueled by the precedent set at Star Wars Celebration 2023, where Rey actress Daisy Ridley announced her involvement in an upcoming film. Fans are now eager to see if Isaac will follow suit and confirm his participation in future Star Wars projects.

The Sequel Trilogy concluded with "Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker" in 2019, and since then, Isaac has expressed a fluctuating stance on returning to the franchise. Initially, in 2020, he humorously stated he'd return if he needed "another house or something." However, by 2022, he told Variety he was "open to anything," indicating a shift towards a more positive outlook. Despite his willingness, Isaac has criticized Disney for rejecting his proposal of a romantic storyline between Poe and Finn, played by John Boyega, citing the studio's reluctance to explore such a narrative.

Speculation about the return of the main trio from the Sequel Trilogy is intensifying, especially with the upcoming Rey film set approximately 15 years after "The Rise of Skywalker." This new film will focus on Rey's efforts to rebuild the Jedi Order. Ridley has expressed her desire for Boyega to join her in the project, and with Isaac completing the trio, his return seems increasingly plausible. Fans might get definitive answers at Star Wars Celebration 2025, but without confirmation, they'll have to wait patiently to see how the pieces fall into place.

The anticipation is heightened by Disney's ongoing delays of the Star Wars films, despite having more than a dozen projects announced. The Rey film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, is still without a locked-in release date, with the earliest potential slot being December 17, 2027. As fans eagerly await further developments, the possibility of seeing the beloved characters from the Sequel Trilogy reunite on screen keeps the Star Wars community buzzing with excitement.
