Gina Carano

Project: The Mandalorian

Lucasfilm didn’t only fire Gina Carano from the hit TV series The Mandalorian, but they also banned her from the Star Wars universe. The backlash started when the controversial star shared a social media post, comparing the Republicans to being Jewish during the Holocaust.

A Lucasfilm spokesperson then released an official statement about the issue, saying Carano was no longer an employee of the said entertainment company. There may be no way for her, too, to become a part of the franchise in the future. The announcement then touched on her social media posts, saying degrading people based on their cultural and religious identities is unacceptable and abhorrent. Sadly, Disney+’s plan to give the 39-year-old actress her own Star Wars­-theme show is now canceled, along with her removal from several Mandalorian spinoffs. After the degree of controversy, UTA also dropped Carano as its client.
