Overview
- Isaac told GQ he is open to discussing Poe Dameron again but said he is not so open to working with Disney right now unless the company can “figure it out” and “not succumb to fascism.”
- Variety reports the interview occurred two days after ABC and Disney suspended production on Jimmy Kimmel Live, with Kimmel returning to air four days later.
- Kimmel was taken off the air after a Sept. 15 monologue referencing the MAGA movement and Charlie Kirk’s death, and he apologized upon his Sept. 23 return.
- Isaac previously played Poe Dameron in three Star Wars films released from 2015 to 2019.
- He contrasted his current stance with a 2020 comment that he would probably not return, later telling GQ that was “a slightly dickish thing” to say.
