The Mandalorian’s Gina Carano Files Lawsuit Against Disney & Lucasfilm For Firing Her, “I Was Being Hunted Down…”

In 2021, Disney+ fired Gina Carano from Lucasfilm’s Star Wars series, The Mandalorian. The actress played Cara Dune in the series. Carano was fired for sharing some questionable posts on social media. One of the posts hinted at how being a Republican today feels like being Jewish during the Holocaust. Gina’s post gathered a lot of flak on social media back then, and #FireGinaCarano was trending on X (Formerly Twitter).

A few days later, after her posts, a Lucasfilm spokesperson shared that they no longer have Gina employed to work with them now and in the future. The statement further mentioned how her “social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.” On February 7, Gina Carano filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm, backed by Elon Musk and X (formerly Twitter).

Gina shared details about filing the lawsuit against Lucasfilm/Disney on her X profile. She wrote, “Today is an important day for me–I am filing a lawsuit against @lucasfilm & @Disney. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time. My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me.”
