In a revelation that will send a shockwave of excitement through the galaxy far, far away, Oscar Isaac has opened the door for a spectacular return to the Star Wars franchise. The acclaimed actor, who captured hearts as the daring Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, has declared he is far from finished with the iconic role.
Isaac's journey as the charismatic flyboy began in 2015's The Force Awakens and culminated in 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, where he was promoted to a General. Despite previously suggesting his time was complete, the actor's stance has dramatically softened.
'It's Not Like You're Getting Rid of Poe'
Speaking candidly, Isaac confessed his deep affection for the character and the immense fun he had on set. 'I don't know. I'm open to anything. You never know,' he teased, sparking fervent speculation among fans. He went on to clarify that his initial reluctance was due to the demanding schedule, not a dislike for the character, leaving the future wide open for a comeback.
A Story Worth Telling
The actor emphasised that any return would be entirely dependent on the quality of the story. Isaac made it clear that he would only reprise his role if the narrative was compelling enough to justify pulling Poe Dameron out of retirement. This condition suggests a potential standalone Disney+ series or feature film that delves deeper into the character's post-Sequel Trilogy adventures.
With the recent success of character-driven shows like Andor and Ahsoka, the stage is perfectly set for a Poe Dameron-centric project. The potential for stories exploring his background as a spice runner or leading a new generation of heroes alongside Rey Skywalker is limitless.
As the Star Wars universe continues to expand on Disney+, the deafening calls from fans for Poe's return are sure to reach the ears of executives at Lucasfilm. Oscar Isaac is officially ready; all he needs is the call to action.
