A Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement provided to Variety, “The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies.  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.  With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.”

quote:

Carano was fired from “The Mandalorian” in 2021 over a social media post in which she compared being a Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust. In 2024, Carano filed suit in California federal court alleging wrongful termination and discrimination, as well as a demand that the court should force Lucasfilm to recast her and pay at least $75,000 in punitive damages.

Gina Carano was fired from her role in "The Mandalorian" due to controversial social media posts, specifically one that compared being a conservative in today's political climate to being Jewish during the Holocaust



and also:

quote:

In September 2020, some fans had asked Carano to add pronouns such as 'she/her' to her Twitter bio after Mandalorian co-star Pedro Pascal had added 'he/him' on his profile. The use of pronouns is common among social media users, who support the trans community, to help avoid misgendering.

"Pedro & I spoke & he helped me understand why people were putting them in their bios. I didn't know before but I do now. I won't be putting them in my bio but good for all you who choose to. I stand against bullying, especially the most vulnerable & [support] freedom to choose," Carano said.

However, in response to demands, the actor eventually added the words "boop/bop/beep" to her bio.

"They're mad cuz I won't put pronouns in my bio to show my support for trans lives...

"After months of harassing me in every way. I decided to put 3 VERY controversial words in my bio. beep/bop/boop," she said adding "I'm not against trans lives at all."




or this

quote:

Following the events of 2020, which saw Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests around the world, Carano was asked to show her support for the movement. When she didn't post anything online, some on social media accused her of being racist.

She responded saying: "In my experience, screaming at someone that they are a racist when they are indeed NOT a racist & any post and/or research you do will show you those exact facts, then I'm sorry, these people are not 'educators.' They are cowards and bullies."

She responded to a tweet about pronouns with a “Beep bop boop,” (droid reference.) that’s what got one of the hottest chicks on TV fired. As usual, it escalated quickly.

There aren't many companies I'd like to see destroyed more than Disney.

I wonder if Pedro was intimidated by being near Gina and that is what kicked off his "anxiety" that can only be soothed by groping women.

For not towing the company line on politics and social issues.

She posted this and the next day she was fired. February 2021

She wasn't a blue-haired weirdo with pronouns and an undiagnosed mental illness.

“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?”

That was it

Obviously, such a stomach churning antisemitic statement that compares the current political climate to the early days of the holocaust must be dealt with severely.

After calling for her firing, the same people "outraged" by her comments went back to calling Republicans nazis and fascists.
