It’s been a good stretch of time since Oscar Isaac has graced us in the Star Wars universe, but fans have some exciting news: he’s slated to show up at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration this year.
The latest batch of Star Wars films has had a history of struggles retaining its stars. Almost every actor involved in the sequel trilogy seemed to have faced some challenges. Yet, as time moves along, we’ve seen a change in tone, with John Boyega showing a more open attitude towards returning and Daisy Ridley actually set to come back. Oscar Isaac, another integral part of the trilogy, hasn’t been around much but did mention back in 2022 that he’s “open to anything.” Now, it’s official – as announced on the Star Wars Celebration Instagram, Isaac will attend the event in Japan. Whether this is a hint at future involvement remains uncertain, but one might speculate that the announcement isn’t just a random appearance.
Some fans can’t help but ponder in the comments if this hints at a comeback for Poe Dameron. However, it might be wise to contain your excitement for the moment. Let’s not forget, as much as we hate to acknowledge the years flying by, that Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens hits its decade milestone this year. Disney could have some nostalgia-filled plans up their sleeve, even if opinions on the modern trilogy vary widely these days.
There’s a smorgasbord of Star Wars projects in the developmental pipeline, yet solid release dates are elusive. The Mandalorian & Grogu series is slated for next year, and its cast is generating quite a buzz. Meanwhile, there’s a film centered around Rey without a scheduled release, alongside a project by James Mangold – known for Logan – that aims to break free from rigid storytelling molds. Let’s not forget Shawn Levy’s planned film, potentially starring Ryan Gosling. With so much queued up, patience will be key for Star Wars enthusiasts.
