Oscar Isaac has revealed what it might take for him to return to Star Wars as Poe Dameron. Though the Star Wars sequel trilogy proved divisive, there is not any denying that it launched compelling new characters for the following technology, a few of whom by no means bought the prospect to dwell as much as their full potential.
One such character is Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron, a fiercely proficient Resistance pilot with a mysterious previous and an in depth relationship with Normal Leia Organa. After Poe’s misguided mutiny in Star Wars: The Final Jedi, the character was considerably sidelined within the Star Wars sequel trilogy’s closing installment, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, as the main focus shifted to Rey, Kylo Ren, and Palpatine’s return.
Regardless of having beforehand distanced himself from any speak of future Star Wars appearances – on the Venice Movie Pageant in 2021, Isaac mentioned he was “desperate to do a character study” after being in “green screen spaceland for quite a few years” (through IndieWire) – Isaac’s tune has since modified. In a current interview with Selection, the Frankenstein actor was requested if he’d ever contemplate returning as Poe Dameron:
“When asked if he’d return as Poe Dameron, he borrows a line from The Simpsons in a high-pitched child’s voice: ‘I’m a Star Wars.’ Then he says, ‘Yeah, I’d be a Star Wars again if there was something good to do with that.'”

This is not the primary time Isaac has talked about a willingness to return to the galaxy far, distant. In 2022, Isaac instructed SiriusXM, “If there was a great story and a great director and [Lucasfilm president] Kathy [Kennedy] came to me and was like, ‘I have this great idea,’ then I’m so open to it.”
The sequel trilogy’s story could also be over, however the period has undoubtedly influenced Star Wars’ upcoming initiatives. Lucasfilm presently has two films in improvement set after the Star Wars sequel trilogy. These are Star Wars: Starfighter, with Ryan Gosling, set 5 years after The Rise of Skywalker, and Daisy Ridley’s return within the tentatively titled Star Wars: New Jedi Order, set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker.
Each movies are exploring uncharted territory for Star Wars, which might create the “good” or “great story” that Isaac is on the lookout for. There is not any purpose Poe Dameron could not present up in both of those two movies. Particulars are being stored beneath wraps, so something remains to be doable.
