The Mandalorian alum Gina Carano was dropped by Lucasfilm and Disney in 2021 after sharing controversial posts on social media comparing the treatment of American conservatives to Jewish people in Nazi Germany. Nearly four years later, Gina, Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Company settled their lawsuit in August 2025. The terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, but Lucasfilm released a statement on the matter.
“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,” Lucasfilm’s statement read, per the Associated Press. “With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.”
Four years prior, Gina shared a number of controversial social media posts. In one TikTok video, she compared the state of U.S. politics to Nazi Germany. “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children,” she wrote in a since-deleted video. In a separate post, Gina claimed that “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?”
At the time, Lucasfilm released a statement about the actress’ release from the Star Wars show. “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,” a statement from the studio issued to Variety read.
During a March 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gina opened up for the first time about her reaction to getting fired from her Disney+ series.
“I just laid down and cried and cried,” she recalled. “I curled into a fetal position. It’s not that I didn’t think that something like that could happen. It was that I couldn’t imagine they would put out this horrendous statement about me after working with me — the most powerful entertainment company in the world saying that about me.”
Gina also pointed out that she became “unhirable” in Hollywood following her firing. “And then it becomes OK for other people to disrespect you,” she said. “And then you’re just carrying around this disrespect, and you’re shouldering all this shame, and it affects your physicality, your mentality. You’re just kind of hopeless.”
