Oscar Isaac spoke to Deadline (in a bit teased out by ComicBook.com) where he explained that, all things considered, Star Wars was not really his bag, but he did say jokingly that he would go back “If I need another house or something”.
“I enjoyed the challenge of those films and working with a very large group of incredible artists and actors, prop makers, set designers, and all that was really fun. It’s not really what I set out to do. What I set out to do was to make handmade movies, and to work with people that inspire me. Paul [Schrader]’s movies, the things that he’s made, it’s in my DNA. I’m not alone, obviously. [For] every actor of a certain generation, those are the films that made them who they are, so that’s certainly my case. It feels like for me a personal turning point and that, as far as I’m concerned, it has nothing to do with the finished product. It’s the process of doing this.”
When pressed if he’d ever return to Star Wars, he joked, “Probably, but who knows. If I need another house or something.”
