Gina Carano, former star of The Mandalorian, has reached a settlement with Disney and Lucasfilm over her 2021 firing from the hit Star Wars series. Carano was removed from the show after a series of controversial social media posts sparked backlash online, leading Disney to cut ties with her.
The actress later filed a lawsuit claiming wrongful termination and arguing that her firing violated her rights to free expression. She also alleged that she was treated unfairly compared to other actors who had made political or controversial statements.
Details of the settlement have not been made public, but both sides confirmed that the legal dispute has been resolved. Carano expressed relief that the case was over, while Disney representatives stated they were pleased to move forward without further conflict.
Her role as Cara Dune was popular among many fans, and her sudden removal became a heated topic in entertainment and political circles. The settlement closes a high-profile chapter in the ongoing conversation about social media, personal expression, and consequences in Hollywood.
While it’s unclear whether Carano will return to the Star Wars universe, the agreement marks the end of a dispute that has lasted for years and divided parts of the fan community.
