Gina Carano Files Lawsuit With Elon Musk's Help Against Disney and Lucasfilm Over 'The Mandalorian' Firing

Carano was fired in 2021 from the Star Wars TV series in which she played Cara Dune.

According to court documents obtained by ET, Carano claims she was targeted, harassed, publicly humiliated, defamed and ultimately fired from her role in the Star Wars TV series because she made political statements on X that "did not align with what they believed was an acceptable viewpoint." In response to all of these tweets, Carano claims Disney and Lucasfilm "were not satisfied" and they "subjected [her] to long phone calls demanding an explanation and criticizing her for not embracing what some see was mandatory solidarity with a vocal element of the transgender activist community." The actress claims she was then told she'd be required to participate in a Zoom call with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and 45 employees who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, "going as far as to say that her willingness to endure such harassment and humiliation was a 'litmus test' for her."
