UPDATE! Oscar Isaac on his Uncle and The Force Awakens. The Uncle Responds!
From some time now we’ve been hearing that Oscar Isaac’s uncle is a huge Star Wars fan and was lucky enough to score a cameo in The Force Awakens. This time Isaac spoke about it on last night’s Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Check out the funny clip after the jump.
UPDATE!
After we posted the article, a person who claims to be Isaac’s uncle himself, posted a few interesting comments in our comments section. This is definitely not an April Fools joke. I know that some of you will say that anyone could have left these comments, and you will be right. Still, I’m not going to tell you how, but I know that this poster is most likely indeed Isaac’s uncle. I am not going to reveal how I figured it out but you have to trust me. Here’s what he said:
After another poster made a joking comment that he will probably play uncle Owen, he replied:
Well, I’m the Uncle and not Owen LOl good one Greg, and it was an amazing surprise and experience, I just got lucky guys
Lol close guess people don’t believe me but I’m the real one
By the way, the story is getting out there wrong , I did not give them the t shirts until later, JJ put me in the cameo wayyyy before I gave it to him, besides it was just the experience, IF I show up in the movie you will provably miss me if u blink
Hey guys! thank you for the post, and I am THE uncle, as a fan was a dream come true, as an uncle was the ultimate gift from Oscar to take me to set, and as person I feel so blessed to have had the chance to meet the incredible cast and crew of the movie, everyone was amazing, and of course JJ is the coolest guy in the universe. And lastly don’t spoil the movie, you won’t be disappointed! Just a few more months…
That’s actually pretty cool. And if you don’t believe me you can always take this as an April Fools joke. Take it as you like.

This, of course, is old news, but I was so excited to watch the clip! Imagine how rabid fans will be opening night! =D
Am I the only one that finds Fallon’s human canned laughter a little over the top. He’d laugh at air for the sake of making it look funny.
Sorry did I miss something here? Where’s the news?
The news is, as Jimmy Fallon said, that JJ is frigging awesome!
Man, I should send JJ a t-shirt
Perhaps he’s uncle Owen?
Well, I’m the Uncle and not Owen LOl good one Greg, and it was an amazing surprise and experience, I just got lucky guys

Were you an alien or just an extra in random clothing? also, which planet or ship were you on?
Never underestimate the power of the Star Wars fandom. We’ll find ya in the movie, one way or another!
By the way, thanks for stopping by!
Find him? Hell, by now Kenner already has an action figure mold complete with backstory
An update to the story coming up. 🙂
Hey, don’t mess with Jimmy. He’s from my part in Brooklyn!
Forgetaboudit!
No, its fuggettaboutit! Plus, most the the “Eye”talons left
Awesome.
Hi Uncle…not Owen 🙂
I betcha he traced the IP address to the ISP, contacted the ISP to see whose IP address is, once found, verified if he was related to Oscar either by last name or maybe public records

Too cool, uncle. Glad you got to live it up! One of the luckiest guys in the universe! You owe Oscar an awesome Christmas present now!
With all due respect to Isaac’s uncle. This is how you work, guys? Someone posts a comment in a article in the name of Oscar Isaac’s uncle and you quickly update your story?
I already explained in the update that I have reasons to believe this guy and I’m not going to reveal why.
Why? I mean, when it’s about revealing plot details I understand, but makes no sense in this case. What are you hiding if the guy itself tells who he is?
The guy HIMSELF. He’s not an it.
Thanks Retrorek, just read a new article about me, so I guess I’m officialy a nut job lo! Btw you guys can call me G or TIO
