LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 7 – Gina Carano settled her lawsuit claiming wrongful termination after being fired for controversial posts, with Lucasfilm signaling potential future collaboration, sources said.
- Reaching an agreement on Thursday, Gina Carano and The Walt Disney Company, Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC settled her lawsuit, jointly petitioning to dismiss all claims with prejudice.
- After months of controversy, Gina Carano was dismissed from The Mandalorian in February 2021, and she filed a lawsuit in February 2024 accusing Disney and Lucasfilm of wrongful termination and discrimination.
- Gina Carano's complaint alleges she was fired shortly after refusing to meet a Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination representative, and Disney continued a smear campaign costing her career, including being dropped by UTA.
- Lucasfilm spokesperson said they look forward to working with Ms. Carano in the near future, following her recent X post after the case was settled.
- Looking ahead, Gina Carano could return to Star Wars after settling her lawsuit, having played Cara Dune and been lined up for a spinoff.
