Actor Gina Carano has resolved her federal lawsuit against Lucasfilm and Disney concerning her dismissal from 'The Mandalorian'. Carano claimed she was fired in 2021 for expressing right-wing opinions on social media.
While the terms of the settlement remain confidential, Lucasfilm noted Carano's dedication and expressed interest in potential future collaborations. The lawsuit, which was set for a Los Angeles trial in February 2024, has been dismissed with prejudice but awaits formal court approval.
The legal action originated from Carano's firing after two seasons of the Disney+ series following inflammatory social media posts. Despite online criticism, Carano thanked supporters and Elon Musk for their backing, indicating her focus remains within the arts.
