The Mandalorian's Gina Carano Will No Longer Be Part Of Star Wars

Lucasfilm has issued a statement condemning Carano after she compared political disagreements to Nazi Germany.

834 Comments

It's the end of the road for Cara Dune.The Mandalorian star Gina Carano will not return to the series--or the Star Wars Universe. Lucasfilm has released a statement announcing the actress and former MMA fighter is not currently employed at the company, and that there are no plans for her to return in the future. The statement comes after Carano made an Instagram post comparing the persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany to "hating someone for their political views." These are just the latest controversial social media posts she's made.

A statement by Lucasfilm was obtained by io9, reading: "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."

Carano's post about Nazi Germany caused the hashtag #FireGinaCarano to trend widely on Twitter. She later deleted the post, but screenshots of it continued to be shared online. The actress' controversies go back months, however, to before the premiere of The Mandalorian's second season, in which she featured prominently.

The actress has been accused of transphobia after mocking the practice of including pronouns in Twitter bios, and has also shared sentiments mocking mask-wearing and fueling COVID-denialism. The controversy was further fueled by tweets falsely suggesting voter fraud in the 2020 presidential elections.

"They have been looking for a reason to fire her for two months, and today was the final straw," said an insider source quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

While not confirmed, Carano was expected to play a part in the upcoming Rangers of the New Republic Star Wars TV show, while other rumors suggested a Cara Dune-centric show was in the works before the actress' controversial November tweets.

Lol everyone is just always waiting to feel offended now a days. I believe what she said wasn't that wrong. Dropping her for a little reason like this is just too much.

That screencap she posted was talking about the Nazis demonizing Jewish people so their non-Jewish neighbors would then hate them, allowing the Nazis to begin their atrocities unabated and even with the aid of citizens that had been convinced Jewish people were bad. The ending line posits the idea of this conditioning being done for opposing political views now.

Should she have spelled it out better? Probably. It's also disingenuous to say she's comparing suffering of Jewish people then to anybody now, like some are trying to say in these comments. However, given that a LA Times writer just days ago compared her neighbors to Hezbollah because they're Trump supporters who happened snow plow her driveway I would say the point made by Ginas post isn't completely without merit.

And now the people who are sanctioning their own party members for voting their conscience about a clearly mentally ill, incompetent, neofascist authoritarian dbag who incited a violent insurrection that killed 5 people and wounded 140 cops will have the audacity to complain about "cancel culture"....because, you know, trying to illegally and murderously cancel 81M votes for the other guy by filing 60 frivolous lawsuits racistly targeting minority population centers and then storming the Capitol Building wasn't at all "cancel culture"....

Nobody's Fooled. The GOP/Trump KKKult believe they're entitled to a permanent minority-rules white Christian hegemony that they control in order to control the rest of us. "Canceling" that is a moral imperative.

Don't like it? Daily Stormer is that way -------->

@Slannmage:

When you're cheering policies that separate families and put children in cages just to "send a deterrent message" and keep the country from getting browner, you're a Nazi. When you're cheering a violent insurrection and trying to avoid accountability for it, you're a Nazi. When you're using the Big Lie as your main argument on pretty much EVGERYTHING because you really have no other policies than "white Christian conservatives should control this country even though we're a minority of the population and everyone should have to behave as though they are Christian even if they don't believe in it" you're a Nazi. When your main means of maintaining any power as a minority of the population is rigging the elections processes with insane gerrymandering and voter suppression, you're a Nazi. The list is endless. Hitler threw himself a failed insurrection about a decade before he succeeded, so we really don't expect that the GQP and Trump KKKult are done with their attempts to use VIOLENCE and deliberate misinterpretations of the Constitution interpreted by their ideologue Federalist Society partisan judges to establish their dreamed-of permanent minority-rules white Christian hegemony with themselves at the helm.

"The statement comes after Carano made an Instagram post comparing the persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany to 'hating someone for their political views.'"

That's a pretty simplified version of her post, actually, and makes it sound as if she compared the Holocaust to hating someone for political difference. The point she made was actually much more in-depth...she said that the Nazis had to get people to hate their Jewish neighbors before the government could get away with performing an atrocity like the Holocaust, and compared the fermenting of that hate between neighbors to what we're seeing politically now.

Any student of history knows that the point she made is accurate. Events like the Beer Hall Putsch and Kristallnacht, for example, were violence incited between neighbors and showed the progression of hate that eventually lead to the ghettos, concentration camps, and Holocaust. The Nazis never could have gotten away with the Holocaust if regular people had not turned a blind eye and permitted hate at the personal level.

@bingoh: As an actual teacher of history, the idea that regular people turned a blind eye to the holocaust is not only historically inaccurate but down right ignorant. Most of the world knew nothing of the Holocaust until after the war ended (this includes most average German citizens).

The Nazis party preyed on nationalism, and right wing propaganda (and violence) to eliminate their opponents. The Beer Hall Pusch was a coup attempt by the Nazi party in 1926 and Kristallnacht happened in 1938 primarily the result of Paramilitary forces after a Jewish man in Paris killed a German diplomat. The Nazis ordered the police and fire brigades to do nothing about the fires as well. So not exactly violence incited between neighbors . This was state sanctioned violence, done by the Nazi party. Hitler certainly used anti-Semitism to further his agenda and that of the Nazis. Might want to look a little more into these events before using a blanket generalization that doesn't fit next time.

To Gina Carano, again just ignorant on her part. She just got done having an issue in November, and couldn't help herself. This isn't cancel culture, its consequences culture.

@kellian1: You're ignoring the fact that most of the perpetrators of the Beer Hall Putsch and Kristallnacht weren't all direct members of the government but many just organized bands of citizens. The SA (Brown Shirts) was initially a non-government-sanctioned group. They organized average citizens to go out and break windows of Jewish homes and businesses on Kristallnacht...this wasn't just a small number of Nazi Party members but mobs of average people.

As for the idea that the average German didn't know about the Holocaust, while the SPECIFIC DETAILS of the Holocaust may have been secret, the fact that there was an active purge of certain groups (Jews, homosexuals, etc) by the government was commonly understood by the public. Average citizens turned them in and watched them lead away by the Nazis. They saw the Stars of David and pink triangles on peoples' coats. They knew about the ghettos and some concentration camps weren't far from major population centers (you can't tell me the smell of burning bodies wasn't noticeable by average citizens). People didn't WANT to know, so they didn't ask questions...but there was no hiding the active ethnic cleansing within a population.

@bingoh: They were not organized band of citizens, go read the literature on it. They were members of the Nazi party, and in some cases the paramilitary wing of said party. To explain it any other way is not accurate.

Again, read the literature, in 1941 for example there were propaganda films the Nazis made showing Jewish people being relocated and working and happy. This is what was shown to the German public. Read about Theresienstadt and how the German public was deceived. The idea that they knew about the "final solution" is simply not true.

@kellian1: Because the SA was a part of the Nazi Party does not mean that they were part of the government. During the Beer Hall Putsch, for example, the Nazi Party had little legitimate influence in the German political system (they were actually declared illegal and many members...including Hitler...were imprisoned afterwards). They didn't become a part of the government until after Hitler became Chancellor in 1933 (and were effectively neutered by 1934 after Hitler consolidated power with the Night of the Long Knives).

As for them being the "paramilitary wing" of the party, "paramilitary" does not indicate military or governmental affiliation. "Paramilitary" simply means a group organized in a similar fashion to the military (for example, many extremist militias in the US are "paramilitary," but are stridently anti-government).

You can dispute the idea that average Germans knew about the Holocaust if you like, but there's significant debate on that fact by historians. There's NO dispute that the average German was exposed to significant anti-Jewish propaganda and demonization supporting their elimination, that common citizens did report and turn Jews (and other so-called "undesirables") over to the Nazis. At the very least, average Germans were willfully-ignorant of what the Nazis were doing.

@bingoh: I mean if you want a history lesson I'd be more than happy to give it on the topic. Yes, Germans were exposed to propaganda making Jewish people look sub human, and blaming them for the economic fallout of world war I. However, the German government (Nazis) once in power also had their own propaganda machine in place showing (lies) about how Jewish people were being well taken care of and their needs being met, this is irrefutable based on the literature on the subject.

To your point about paramilitary, yes that's why they tried to stage a coup in 1926 and failed, you did read that part correct?

You seem to believe that every single German KNEW what was going on and KNEW about the concertation camps and did nothing. That is also irrefutably not true, again I can't make you read the literature on it, real literature not a google search. I can point you to Raul Hilberg as a starting point. But of course this will probably burst whatever bubble you've been living in....so my expectations are low.

Anyway, have a good rest of your day, as I've done all I can do with this conversation without going into a dissertation.

@kellian1: Even if they didn't "know" (many did, you can't honestly deny that - though you seem to believe the "right wing" myth), they all knew, and participated, plenty in all the stuff that led up to it.

@zelda37: Right wing myth? What in gods name are you talking about? No one is denying it happened, the fact is, as it was going on, most German citizens didn't know it was going on. Feel free to read about it yourself if you don't believe me.

@kellian1: That nazi's were "right-wing." That myth. Relative to Communists...maybe.

Define "it." There's a huge range of transgressions against the Jews over multiple decades. Much of it was completely in the open.

@zelda37: You don't have any real concept of this history if you are trying to argue that Nazis and the Nazi party weren't right wing....

That is not a myth, this is historical fact by anyone worth their PHD on the subject, or even a rudimentary understanding of the topic. The scholarship on this is clear.

@zelda37: Really sorry to snoop in... but again: what in blazes are you talking about? Myth? Nazism is a far-right political ideology. It's simple fact. Read the part where @kellian1 mentions the Nazi propaganda machine spreading lies. Pretty much like this fake news industry the right commands nowadays: QAnon conspiracies, Fox News, stolen election, and similar BS...

It is a bad example she used but she was correct. I remember reading the exact same thing in my history books when I was in elementary school in the 70's. The Nazi's hate towards the Jewish made everyone in Germany turn against them. Friends would turn in their Jewish friends in out of fear. Sucks but true.

@KahnArtizt: You're not understanding her point. She's not comparing it to the Jewish experience at the end in the concentration camps and furnaces. She's comparing it to when they were still a part of German society and they were being demonized. All of that eventually led to the ultimate horrors of the holocaust.

Her point is spot on.

@Newsboy: No, it's about the GQP and Trump KKKult having been raised for generations to believe that they can spew alternate facts and ridiculous nonsense to cover for the real meanings behind what they say and that everyone is so utterly retarded that they're fooled by it. Nobody's fooled. She said something way out of whack that was totally hyperbolic, absurd and offensive and she's paying the price for it. Your attempts to undo that with semantic games and transparent sophistry are hot salty garbage and everyone sees through it.

@esqueejy:

Clearly you lack the capacity to understand that other people have different philosophical views which don’t rely on racism or even a political parties platform.

My dad voted for Trump twice and it’s why I have an understanding.

He’s not racist, he’s not fascist. He’s a hard-working self-employed Christian who votes for who he thinks will protect his religious freedom. He views Democrats as taking stances against his religious views on abortion and marriage as well as fear-mongering by use of scientific data manipulation in the area of climate, environment and social justice.

He doesn’t want to cut brown people out of America, he wants the laws on the books to be upheld and he finds it morally reprehensible for some people to cut in line by lying about their refugee status.

He doesn’t hate black people, he thinks cops shouldn’t kill anyone but that people who physically fight with them should be aware they’re risking it.

He doesn’t hate gays, he believes in what his faith says about marriage.

He doesn’t hate women, he thinks god creates life and pregnancy is the intended natural outcome of sex.

He doesn’t want the earth to overheat, he thinks there’s a lot of data manipulation being used for political intent.

I am certainly more left-leaning than he and no longer a Christian but to take the debatable points mentioned and wipe your ass with a “Trump KKK” BS comment is exactly why Trump happened.

If you want another Trump keep ignoring and closing debate with these reasonable and persuadable people.

@Newsboy: Yawn. Quite the sealion huh? Nobody is fooled and nobody cares anymore. The GQP is going to be destroyed, whether it's by demographic shifts or by the backlash their own foolish attempts to rig the entire country's election systems with gerrymandering and voter suppression to produce them in control of everything despite being a minority party. The more they succeed at their goal of maintaining power by any means necessary, making false accusations of voter fraud to justify further messing with the elections process and making it harder to vote to maintain their power, bullying and waving their guns around and trying their hand at insurrection (which they are now going to do over and over again until it works)...all of it...the worse it's going to go for them when the rest of the country has finally fucking had it. We had to discipline them once and thei process for fixing it got interrupted. Next time Reconstruction won't be stopped.

@VANGUARD003: you have opened my eyes, this guy no one remembers from 1981 is the MASTERMIND of a cabal of racist republican lizard people they ALL speak in CODE EVERYTHING THEY SAY is a dog whistle

gina carano said hating your neighbors for their political views, seeing them as evil is BAD/similar to what happened in germany before ww2 when people were hating/hurting people because of their ethnicity and it's shouldn't happen again because we know what it leads to BUT IF YOU REALY LOOK INTO IT you'll see the REAAAALL meaning of her words and the meaning is .. ISSSS sss... IDK I'm not a crazy person but you seem to believe in conspiracies so what did she REALY mean in your opinion ?! did u read her tweet ?

If you want you can "put a spin" on pretty much anything just try to stick to the facts and stop giving false meaning/interpreting everything.At some level you have to know that you're just making things up because u hate her, try to BE HONEST.

look at this racist sending signals to his racist voters : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qYckI0YV-0

a dog whistle or a freudian slip?! "In case you're too lazy to look it up"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freudian_slip

I could say he's doing the same thing you're accusing this woman of BUT another much more RATIONAL explanation is that he's just old and he made a mistake.In this case you HAVE to interpret the meaning of his words tho since it's obvious he misspoke in gina carano's case you have do some insane mental gymnastics to reach the conclusion that she's a racist based on that tweet alone ..

I didn't say anything about Gina Carano. I think it's stupid what happened to her, but I also think you've gotta be a real idiot to post something like that in this political climate.

I agree what Biden said was stupid.

@roktok9002: No conspiracy. Look up Lee Atwater's "n-bomb n-bomb n-bomb" quote explaining the Southern Strategy, which he helped invent and perfect. It's all based on sending the racist anti-liberal neo-confederate signals and tapping into those cultural resentments while pretending to talk about something else. He fully admitted it.

This is why I stopped watching TV years ago lol

When there is finally a decent show, the looney toons out there will cancel it.

The left always ruining a good product (ie last of us) lol

Just don’t waste your time putting time and energy into Disney or Lucasfilm, let’s be honest their products suck anyways.

TLoU wasn't ruined. It wasn't censored, it sold a kazillion copies, and won a lot of GoTY awards. All of the controversy may have actually helped it.

Yeah, unfortunately the downsides greatly outway the positives imo, especially with all this cancel culture crap happening. It's insane.

Apparently Twitter folk only wanted "strong women" in Hollywood so they could publicly crucify them. I'm old as dirt, but back in my day the existence of Godwin's Law settled most of this internet nonsense for us.
