Los Angeles TimesFriday, August 8, 2025 at 6:47:24 PM
Disney and Lucasfilm have reached a settlement with Gina Carano, the actor who played Cara Dune in "The Mandalorian," after she sued them for wrongful termination. Carano claimed she was fired due to her controversial social media posts, which sparked backlash. The terms of the settlement weren't disclosed, but the case is now closed.
Editor’s Note: This story highlights the ongoing tension between free speech, corporate policies, and public backlash in Hollywood. Carano's firing was a flashpoint in the culture wars, and the settlement avoids a messy legal battle—but it doesn't resolve the bigger debate about where studios draw the line on off-screen behavior. For fans, it’s a reminder that behind-the-scenes drama can sometimes overshadow the shows themselves.
