LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Gina Carano has settled her federal lawsuit against Lucasfilm and its parent The Walt Disney Co. over her claim that she was fired from “The Mandalorian” in 2021 for expressing right-wing views on social media.
The specific terms of the agreement were not made available.
“Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect,” Lucasfilm said in a statement. “With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.”
The two sides stipulated in a federal court filing Thursday that the case should be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can’t be refiled. A judge still needs to formally dismiss it. The case had been scheduled to go to trial in Los Angeles in February of next year.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in California last year, alleged Carano was wrongfully terminated from the “Star Wars” galaxy Disney+ series after two seasons due to a post likening the treatment of American conservatives to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. Her posts were widely criticized online and spurred a trending #FireGinaCarano hashtag.
Sounds like corporate speak for “this cow is never working with us again”.
Disney has refused to work with streamers that literally used to work in their parks, over a single mid comment made more than a decade ago, that no one cared about at the time, and even the modern witch hunts don’t care about.
Gina’s comments are much worse than that. She will never work with any company or group related to Disney again, and that’s like 2/3 of the movie and TV industry now. Her career is dead. The next step will be some right wing TV interview appearances and then joining ICE like Dean Cain.
She brings nothing positive and unique to the table that ten thousand other up and coming actors without the baggage can provide at a lower rate.
Yeah, I think this is more valuable to her as conservative bonafides than anything. “I stood up to libral, woke, Disney and won!” will probably play great fox news and the other rocks these folk thrive beneath. It’s a further step in a career in the rightwing culture-war bullshit sphere, not back twords Disney.
DISAPPOINTED

Don’t sell her short, I’m certain she could also find a few minor roles in direct-to-video Christian movies.
I’m sure she is banned from all Disney parks if she ever attempts to go in. The facial recognition they use is no joke.
the what
They also have a feral community of cats that keep the scavengers to a minimum. Oh, and a staff-only rec room inside the Matterhorn prop. Among other crazy-ass things, away from public view.
Dear god
Yeah, don’t even get me started on how buddy-buddy ol’ Walt was with the Reich… 🤮🖕🏼
