Oscar Isaac May Not Be As Finished With Star Wars As We Thought

Speaking in a new SiriusXM interview on "The Jess Cagle Show," Oscar Isaac did a Jabba the Hutt-sized 180 on his stance on future projects involving the character of Poe Dameron. Although Isaac has previously indicated a hesitancy to return to the role, it now appears that the actor is open to more adventures in a galaxy far, far away. 

"I'm open to anything. You never know," Isaac said when asked by the host about the prospect of playing the character again. "I have no real feeling one way or the other. I'm open to any good story."

Though he expressed a willingness to return to the franchise, Issac also indicated that he had more than a few things to balance on his plate at the moment. "Time is the one thing that becomes much more challenging as you get older and with kids and all that. It's like, 'Where do these things fit in?' You start realizing that there's not time for all of it." 

Still, Isaac assured viewers that he'd be happy to come back if invited onto the right project. Isaac said, "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."

Of course, if Isaac returned to the role of Poe Dameron at some point, he'd only be the latest in a long line of "Star Wars" actors to return to the franchise after a sizable break. Most recently, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprised their respective prequel-era roles as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker (aka Darth Vader) in the Disney+ series "Obi-Wan Kenobi."
