Gina Carano Is No Longer a Part of Star Wars


quote:

Gina Carano, who plays Cara Dune on The Mandalorian, will no longer be on the show.

In a statement obtained by io9, a Lucasfilm spokesperson said the following: “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.”

quote:

Gina Carano, who plays Cara Dune on both seasons of Disney Plus’ “The Mandalorian,” garnered backlash on social media Wednesday after sharing several controversial posts on her Instagram story.

Carano shared the posts on her story late Tuesday night. One of the posts she shared compared today’s divided political climate to Nazi Germany.

“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 How is that any different from hating someone for their political views,” the post, which was originally made on a different Instagram account, read.


quote:

Many people on Twitter began using the hashtag #FireGinaCarano, tagging accounts for Disney, Disney Plus, “Star Wars” and Lucasfilm and requesting that Carano be dropped from “The Mandalorian.”

I don't believe I've ever seen this group of words put together in such a way.

I don't need her fired, but, ummm... that's a very dumb thing to say. She could try to be less dumb.

This is a no win scenario for her to comment on it. We know where that situation ended up. We’re on the very early stages of that (potentially) here. So of course plenty of people will cry foul. But I’d rather point to light these things now than after it’s too late.

Not the Holocaust. All the things that ended up leading to it.

She’s saying government pushed and societal accepted hatred for groups for no reason other than division pushed by the government is what leads to human atrocities. She’s correct and it’s exactly what’s happening in America.

That’s a fact.

Ans it’s repeated throughout history.

Facts are now considered controversial and debate is considered domestic terrorism and logic and reason are considered racist and sexist and outlawed.

Deserved to be fired for it? Eh. Prolly not. But a private company is free to do what it wishes and when image = money well....


Regardless of what you think should or shouldn’t be done, that was a mind numbingly retarded take.

The alt right retards and seditious frick knuckles don’t need much help when they alienate themselves from society for being alt right, conspiracy theory loony toons. Sorry. Don’t have much sympathy for them.

Or anyone else pedaling bigotry.

Comparing America to Nazi Germany in the 40s would be hyperbole and not at all what she’s doing.

Comparing America to Germany in the 20s? Apt comparison that’s not far fetched.

A political party that hates capitalism and declares themselves for the workers and calls themselves national socialists and blames a hidden power structure perpetuated by a secret cabal of racist people that needs to be extinguished led by young charismatic true believers...... does that sound familiar to you?

You mean the photo op full of Antifa crisis actors and outward socialists painted as a violent movement by the extreme right?
