Fired Mandalorian star Gina Carano says she doesn't regret a thing

Carano was allegedly warned several times to curb her social media posts.

While The Mandalorian centres on its titular character, the response to the supporting cast was similarly positive. Praise was piled on the mercenary Cara Dune (played by Gina Carano) as a rare female role model in the Star Wars canon for her physicality and combat prowess. Carano was even set to star in a spinoff Rangers of the New Republic thanks to the impact of her character, but all of that went up in a puff of smoke in late 2021.

Following a series of controversial social media comments, from promoting anti-mask theories in the midst of the pandemic to mocking pronouns to comparing being a Republican in the United States to being a Jewish person in the Nazi regime, Disney and Lucasfilm fired Carano. Reports said that Carano had been warned several times to curtail her opinions online or there would be consequences. Indeed, it looked like her employers were at the end of their tether as the actress found out about her firing at the same time as everyone else.

Check out the trailer for the third season of The Mandalorian below:

It's funny to think of what might have been when we consider that Disney and Lucasfilm were ready for a whole show to follow Cara Dune's backstory. In response to a joke from a reporter that she had "fumbled the bag" with her career, Carano tweeted that she's doing just fine.

"I didn’t fumble the bag I just didn’t go along with the sell out narrative, the online mob couldn’t handle that so they petitioned to have me fired & won. I’m not sorry for that. I stood for what I believe the right thing to do was & the more time that goes by the better I feel," she replied, denunciating the reporter for "repeatedly [joining] in an online mob of mostly anonymous accounts harassing [her]."

Since 2021, Carano has starred in Terror on the Prairie and My Son Hunter through her affiliation with Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing's The Daily Wire.
