"Those were reshoots. We had to do reshoots. Yeah, because when I look at it, I'm like, 'Oh, that wig's pretty good.' Y'know, I think I'd cut my hair already."
"Lines and reshoots like that are 'surgical strikes' where a director and everyone involved come in and try to 'get everything' to come together and work."
"But had you asked me if, at the moment, I thought that [line] was going to be [a meme], I wouldn't have known."
"Hey, man, I committed to the exasperation, that's for sure."
In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Poe Dameron announces Emperor Palpatine's return with the line, 'Somehow, Palpatine has returned.' Oscar Isaac revealed this line was added during last-minute reshoots to connect the film's story. He described the production as chaotic, with significant changes occurring throughout. Isaac did not anticipate the line becoming a meme, acknowledging its silliness while expressing commitment to the performance. The film, released in 2019, is criticized for its plot choices, including the return of Palpatine.
