It's no secret that Gina Carano has been making headlines lately after she was fired from her role as Cara Dune in the popular Star Wars show, The Mandalorian. According to a statement released by Lucasfilm in 2021, the actress was let go due to her controversial social media posts that were deemed "abhorrent and unacceptable." However, Carano is now fighting back and has filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm.
In a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Carano denied the claims made by Lucasfilm, stating that she was being targeted for not conforming to the "acceptable narrative" at the time. The 41-year-old also shared that she was being "hunted down" for everything she posted or liked on social media. She even went on to thank Elon Musk, who has generously funded her lawsuit.
Carano's case alleges wrongful termination and discrimination, and she is seeking a minimum of $75,000 in punitive damages. She also hopes to be recast in The Mandalorian, which also stars Pedro Pascal. In response to the controversy, Carano reposted a statement on her Instagram stories that compared the treatment of Jews during the Holocaust to the current political climate.
The lawsuit makes multiple references to the Star Wars franchise, stating that Lucasfilm and Disney only accept one way of thinking and anyone who dares to question or speak out will not be tolerated. Carano also draws comparisons between her character, Cara Dune, and the destruction of Alderaan in a previous Star Wars film.
Carano first joined the cast of The Mandalorian in 2019 and made her last appearance in the show's second season in 2020. The former MMA fighter has received support from fans and celebrities alike, and the Agency has reached out to Lucasfilm and Disney for comment on the matter.
