Former The Mandalorian star Gina Carano has finally settled her high-profile lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm after being fired from the hit Star Wars series in 2021. The legal battle, which sparked widespread debate, has now reached a resolution, though the exact terms remain confidential.
Why Was Gina Carano Fired?
Carano, who played the fan-favourite character Cara Dune, was abruptly dropped from the show following a series of controversial social media posts. Critics accused her of sharing inflammatory remarks on topics including politics, COVID-19, and historical comparisons deemed offensive by Disney executives.

Carano later sued Disney and Lucasfilm, alleging wrongful termination and discrimination. Backed by X (formerly Twitter) CEO Elon Musk, her case gained significant attention, with many free speech advocates rallying behind her.
While the specifics of the settlement are undisclosed, sources suggest both parties have agreed to move forward without further litigation.
What’s Next for Gina Carano?
Despite the controversy, Carano’s career isn’t over. She has since signed on for new film projects, including an action thriller produced by Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire. Fans are now left wondering—will she ever return to the Star Wars universe?
