Today, in sequel trilogy ‘news’ that really isn’t… Oscar Isaac expressed an opinion on what planet he would like Poe Dameron to be from, which some news sites immediately took as fact. Nope! Just wishful thinking on Isaac’s part – really, if it was true, or if his homeworld was actually something that came up in the film, would he just up and tell the AP like that? Logic! It’s a hell of thing.
Isaac was also asked if he was related to Jimmy Smits’ Bail Organa, to which he (rightfully) replied “there’s room in the Galaxy for more than one Latin family.”
And then the Joss Whedon thing has reared up again, because of course it has. Quite frankly, after comments he’s made recent about how exhausting Avengers: Age of Ultron was, I can’t see him signing up for another big franchise movie for a while. And by ‘a while’ I mean ‘not this trilogy.’ Let the guy have a break.
He said that cause he was born in Guatemala, and Yavin IV was filmed in the Jungles of Tikal, overlooking the Mayan Temples (Massassi temple in EU) and that is in Guatemala.
Yes, that’s what the original article says. My issue isn’t with why Isaac said it, it’s with people who are interpreting this as him saying that Poe IS from Yavin IV, not that he’d LIKE Poe to be from Yavin IV.
