Disney & Lucasfilm Settle Gina Carano Lawsuit Over The Mandalorian Firing

Disney and Lucasfilm have settled the lawsuit filed by Gina Carano over her firing from The Mandalorian. As you may recall, Disney cut ties with Carano back in February of 2021 after she posted several controversial topics on social media including mocking gender identity, taking shots at people wearing masks during the pandemic, and promoted theories about voter fraud. The apparent final straw saw her compare conservatives to Holocaust victims.

Carano filed a lawsuit alleging discrimination and wrongful termination last year, with Elon Musk helping to finance it. THR reports that the lawsuit has now been settled, with terms of the settlement not disclosed.

A Lucasfilm spokesperson told the outlet:

“With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future. 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.”

Carano issues a statement which read:

“I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved. I hope this brings some healing to the force.

I want to extend my deepest most heartfelt gratitude to Elon Musk, a man I’ve never met, who did this Good Samaritan deed for me in funding my lawsuit.

Thank you Mr. Musk and X for backing my case and asking for nothing in return.

To my lawyers at Schaerr|Jaffe who walked me through this unknown territory, thank you for your wisdom and guidance.

I am humbled and grateful to God for His love and grace in this outcome.

I’d like to thank you all for your unrelenting support throughout my life and career, you’ve been the heartbeat that has kept my story alive. I hope to make you proud.

I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me.

Yes, I’m smiling.”
