Star Wars enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement as Sequel Trilogy star Oscar Isaac is set to make an official appearance at Star Wars Celebration 2025. The event, scheduled to take place in Tokyo from April 18 to 20, has sparked rumors about the potential return of Isaac's character, Poe Dameron, to the beloved galaxy far, far away.

The announcement of Isaac's appearance was made via the official Star Wars Celebration Instagram, fueling speculation among fans. This follows a similar pattern to Star Wars Celebration 2023, where Rey actress Daisy Ridley announced her involvement in a new film. Now, fans are eagerly anticipating whether Isaac will follow suit and reveal his return to the franchise.

The Sequel Trilogy concluded in 2019 with "Star Wars: Episode 9 - The Rise of Skywalker," and Isaac's sentiments about his involvement have evolved over time. Initially expressing reluctance in 2020, stating he would only return if he needed "another house or something," Isaac's stance softened by 2022. In an interview with Variety, he mentioned having "no real feeling one way or another" and being "open to anything."

Isaac has also been vocal about his disappointment with Disney for rejecting his proposal of a romance between Poe and John Boyega's character, Finn, citing that the "overlords were not ready for that." Boyega, too, has expressed mixed feelings about his experience with the Sequel Trilogy and Disney, though he has indicated openness to future roles.

The speculation surrounding the return of the main trio—Poe, Rey, and Finn—has intensified, especially with the upcoming Rey film set approximately 15 years after "The Rise of Skywalker." This new installment will focus on Rey's efforts to rebuild the Jedi Order. Ridley has already voiced her desire for Boyega to join her in the film, and with Isaac's character completing the trio, his return seems plausible.

While definitive answers may be revealed at Star Wars Celebration 2025, fans might have to wait longer to see how everything unfolds. Disney has repeatedly delayed the release of upcoming Star Wars films, despite announcing over a dozen projects. The Rey film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, remains undated but is tentatively slated for a potential release on December 17, 2027.
