​It's common knowledge by now that many Star Wars fans were extremely unimpressed with Rian Johnson's 2017 installment, The Last Jedi. Actually, many people really, really ​hated the film. But much to their dismay, Johnson and the cast have ​proved they don't really care about all the criticism.

Oscar Isaac, who plays Poe Dameron in the Luke Skywalker saga, also seems indifferent with all the Last Jedi hate. But when it comes to backlash about his character specifically, he feels a big stronger... He enjoys it.





On the subject of divisive reactions to his character, Isaac told ​Yahoo Entertainment point blank, "I love that."

“It’s incredible, because you have people actually engaging with the ethical question of war and what leadership is," the 39-year-old actor shared. "The last thing you want is for people to watch a movie and be like, ‘Great,’ and then move on. With [The Last Jedi], the conversation continues and can stir real emotions. You’re having a conversation about actual things that matter, you know?”





For Poe, many fans believed he should've been looped in on Admiral Holdo's plan from the start, in turn letting the audience out of the dark as well. But disagreeing with the way something happens in a film doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, as Isaac points out.

“What I think is really special about the whole thing — particularly for people that really didn’t agree with where the story went — is that it’s often a great inspiration to do your own stuff,” Isaac continued. “Obviously, making your own Star Wars movie is a bit of a tough challenge, but at least from a narrative standpoint maybe you make your own thing and then show what you would want. Make what you would want to see.”

It's obvious Isaac has an awesome attitude when it comes to The Last Jedi's fan reaction, as well as we'd assume with every movie he's involved in. We're expecting to see Poe be more in the know next time around, when Star Wars: Episode IX hits theaters Dec. 2019.
