Gina Carano's Cara Dune won't return for future seasons of the Pedro Pascal -led series The Mandalorian or for any other Star Wars project, for that matter. On Wednesday, February 10, 2021, Carano, a former mixed martial artist who has become a recognizable face in the action and sci-fi genres over the years, was fired from The Mandalorian. As reported by Deadline, a spokesperson for Lucasfilm confirmed on Wednesday evening that Carano wasn't just dropped from the first-ever live-action Star Wars series she's also no longer going to be considered for or offered employment with Lucasfilm in the future. The decision came after Carano continued to share on social media statements that Lucasfilm deemed, quote, abhorrent. Carano's Cara appeared throughout many episodes of The Mandalorian's first and second seasons, aiding Pascal's Din Djarin on his quest to reunite Grogu - AKA Baby Yoda - with other Jedi. Originally, audiences were impressed by Carano's introduction into the Star Wars universe, with many enjoying the strong presence she brought to the series as a former-Rebel-shock-trooper-turned-bounty-hunter. But the star's penchant for expressing her political opinions online no matter how divisive or offensive those opinions might be caused many fans to urge Lucasfilm to fire her. As Deadline details, Carano's most recent controversial post on Instagram suggested that being a Republican in the U. S. in 2021 is similar to being Jewish in Nazi Germany. This sparked renewed outrage online, and #FireGinaCarano started trending on Twitter as folks tagged both Disney and Lucasfilm in thousands of tweets in an effort to remove her from The Mandalorian. At that point, Lucasfilm had already taken note of Carano's damaging social media presence, but her post implying that Republicans are being harmed in the same way Jewish people were harmed in Nazi-era Germany was the breaking point. Wednesday evening, the studio released a statement announcing her firing. It reads, Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable. Alongside her exit from the Star Wars series, Variety reports that Carano was also dropped by her talent agency, UTA, due to the offensive nature of the comments she made online. For several months now, fans have been banding together to call for Carano's firing. Carano previously caused controversy in November 2020 when she mocked social media users who list their pronouns such as she/her/hers or they/them/theirs in their bios, putting beep/bop/boop in her own profile. As noted by Variety, Carano also seemingly made a mockery of safety regulations put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, sharing a photo of someone wearing several cloth masks over their nose and mouth and captioning it, Meanwhile in California. Carano's most recent posts have since been deleted from Instagram, but screenshots are still circulating across various social media platforms. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that Lucasfilm executives had been planning for about two months to fire Carano, and that today was the final straw. The outlet also revealed that Lucasfilm intended to announce a Cara Dune spin-off series during the Disney Investor's Day presentation in December 2020, but those plans were abandoned after Carano took to Twitter in early November to level accusations about voter fraud in the 2020 U. S. presidential election. She wrote in part, Flush out the fake votes. Make Voter Fraud end in 2020. There was some support for Carano following the news of her firing, as a number of her supporters started tweeting #CancelDisneyPlus. With Disney's impressive slate of spin-off shows like Ahsoka Tano, The Acolyte, Rangers of the New Republic, The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Lando as well as all the Marvel Studios projects in development cancelling the streaming service will certainly miss out on a lot of new content. A fan started a Change. org petition calling for Lucasfilm to keep Carano in The Mandalorian. The organizer wrote in part, This is a counter petition to support Gina Carano for keeping her role in The Mandalorian. Everyone is entitled to an opinion whether it be right or wrong. Many who signed the petition have argued that Carano's firing is the result of cancel culture. The Change. org petition is rapidly approaching its goal of 5000 signatures, but time will only tell if that will translate into Disney+ cancellations.

1: 19 no, this is not what she said or what she suggested. what she suggested was that the rejection of civilized discourse, and the dehumanization of people who have a different political opinion from your own is a slippery slope that could eventually lead to radicalizing the population, and neighbors seeing each others as monsters and beating each other up in the street because of their difference in political views, and even further give political extremists a platform on which to gain power and influence.
she compared it to the situation that lead up to the holocaust, because of the similarity in how people back then were dehumanized by their own neighbors, which then lead to hounding them in the streets, and gave breeding ground for political extemists (in this case nazis) to gain power. if were not careful this kind of group thinking can lead to the worst possible outcomes we can imagine.
ironically by letting their actions be dicated by emotions and forming a social media mob to silence her and get her fired, and then celebrating over the fact that they were successful, these people literally made her point and showed how dangerous this kind of group thinking is. instead of engaging in a civilized discussion about the matter, people formed together in a cancel culture mob, spread misinformation, and tried to actively censor and cause her personal harm and attack the person herself instead of challenging her argument.

I agree that Cancel Culture is getting out of hand, but, if you look at Gina's procession of public statements, she was clearly standing on a self-appointed soapbox and what happened to her is a legitimate consequence of her uninformed opinions. Disney has always been super-sensitive about their image. long before social media. and, if she had any brains, she would have known better. Dating way back the 1960's, Walt Disney himself worried that the encroaching suburbs of Anaheim around Disneyland were ruining the fantasy of the park experience. That sensitivity gave birth to the idea of Disneyworld in the middle of nowhere (central Florida. a sensitivity that is very much alive today. No, it is not about cancel culture.

Wow! I actually liked her but those views about the Holocaust are not good and being a part of a U. S. party. Spreading lies and miss-information to those who follow you. Spreading BS is also wrong especially when it s a label of BS. Grow up carano. Be you, not a sheep. Cancel culture is not an excuse.

Total BS!
People have a right to their opinion
Do we complain when leftist try to force their ideologies on us
Almost every show now has a lgbt presence like its normal
If people can say use he, she, blah blah
Then we can use pip poo bip
This firing should be contested

From what I'm seeing on this, she shot herself in the foot. You can have your opinions but there are certain lines you shouldn't cross. When you work for any company they likely have certain standards on how their employees represent themselves to the company they work for.
reply

Let's be real here, cos she's more Conservative and has different views vocal opinions than the Hollywood Liberal in which the cancel culture of the loser mob mentality has gone after. What a sad pathetic world we live in now.
reply

I don't like cancel culture but I understand it. She has the right post and say whatever wants. However though Disney also has the right to distance themselves from what she says. If they feel she not representing their views.
reply

Hollywood: we need a independent strong minded female lead who isn't afraid to express her opinions!
Gina: checks every box
Hollywood: weeeeell. we want your opinion to be exactly what we think it should be.

reply

There was some support for Carano following the news ). You lying snakes. The support for her is huge compared to the few crybabies causing her being fired. all the while proving exactly her point.
reply

Why Disney doesn't hire the Twitter fake outrage mob to write their scripts and produce the series? Would be cheaper and more pleasant for those people who pretend to be fans lol. IDGAF about Disney+ anymore.
