Overview
- In a new GQ interview, Isaac said he is not currently open to working with Disney and would only discuss returning to Star Wars if the company, in his words, does not succumb to fascism.
- GQ noted the conversation occurred two days after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! following remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death, and Kimmel was reinstated four days later.
- Isaac had indicated openness in August to another Star Wars project if there was a good story, and he now calls his 2020 “needed another house” joke a “slightly dickish” comment.
- Coverage links his position to broader criticism that Disney has yielded to political pressure, with outlets citing DEI rollbacks and reported self-censorship of transgender storylines.
- There are no announced talks or plans for Isaac’s return, as Lucasfilm continues to rework its film slate, and other sequel-era actors like John Boyega have also expressed conditional interest.
