Gina Carano Is No Longer a Part of Star Wars
Gina Carano, who plays Cara Dune on The Mandalorian, will no longer be on the show.
In a statement obtained by io9, a Lucasfilm spokesperson said the following: 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.
The news comes after a day in which the hashtag #FireGinaCarano trended on Twitter for hours. The night before, the actress shared an anti-Semitic story on her Instagram. It was soon deleted but many fans captured it and shared it on social media.

(1,602 posts)I love the Mandalorian series, but Gina Carano really grated on me. The way she played Cara Dune just seemed vapid, and she always had this smile on her face even when you could see the director wanted to give the impression of a tough as nails cop. My suspicion is that she had already worn out her welcome even before this incident.
I've also heard that fans are trying to push Lucy Lawless for the same part. That would be awesome.

Since November 2020, former MMA fighter Gina Carano has been attracting social media ire through her controversial posts that started with her mocking the need for wearing masks amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, transphobic tweets, followed by her spreading the false news that voter fraud has occurred during the recently held presidential elections. #FireGinaCarano has been trending for a long time as fans of The Mandalorian constantly sought her removal from the series as her contentious posts continued.
