preview

Updated: Feb 17, 2021 10:15 amActress Gina Carano, known for playing former Rebel Alliance soldier Cara Dune on Disney's the Mandalorian, has been fired from the show, according to .In a statement sent to io9, a Lucasfilm representative spoke on the matter:“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.”Carano was the subject of much criticism recently when, in a now-deleted Instagram post, she compared being a modern-day Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust. The hashtag #FireGinaCarano has trended on social media in recent months after other incendiary comments by the television and film star.Carano's post read: "Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?"Carano accompanied the comparison with a 1941 photo of the that saw the massacre of thousands of Jews in the Ukraine. The photo depicts a Jewish girl, stripped of her clothes and bloodied, being chased by boys and men with clubs.Sources tell the that Lucasfilm planned on announcing in December that Carano would star in her . Those plans were scrapped after Carano's November tweets.Carano has also been dropped as a client by the United Talent Agency, reports."They have been looking for a reason to fire her for two months, and today was the final straw," THR's sources said.Carano has also been a vocally in public spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as regarding the 2020 Presidential election.Carano first appeared as Cara Dune in episode four of The Mandalorian season one, when she teamed up with the titular bounty hunter to protect a community against raiders using stolen Empire weaponry. She returned midway through season two/episode 12 to assist in destroying an Imperial base and later in episode 15 to help infiltrate a refinery. The character proved initially to be popular with Star Wars fans, but opinion quickly soured following Carano's comments.Joseph Knoop is a writer/producer/bro for IGN.Nov 12, 2019
