Like a crappy Rebel Alliance, Gina Carano is working with Elon Musk to sue Disney
Several years after being fired from The Mandalorian, Gina Carano wants a court to force Disney to rehire her

It’s been almost exactly three years since Disney officially fired Gina Carano from The Mandalorian over “social media posts denigrating people based on their culture and religious identities,” which the company said in a statement at the time were “abhorrent and unacceptable.” That seemed to be that, with Mandalorian executive producers Rick Famuyiwa and Dave Filoni saying just last year that they didn’t really feel any need to ever acknowledge her character (Rebel soldier Cara Dune) again—whether that meant bringing her back or canonically killing her off. The show, and Star Wars in general, had simply moved on without her.
But now Gina Carano is trying to reverse that, filing a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm for “discrimination and wrongful termination” that The Hollywood Reporter says is being bankrolled by none other than Elon Musk, self-described champion of what he thinks “free speech” is (this is apparently part of Musk’s promise to fund any legal action from Twitter users who claimed they were fired for what they posted). Carano says she was fired for sharing her right-wring opinions on social media, and she’s asking the court to force Lucasfilm to pay her at least $75,000, cover various other damages, and rehire her for The Mandalorian—a show that might not ever even come back for another season now that it’s spinning off into a movie.
