"Disney and Lucasfilm have reached a settlement with Gina Carano following her termination from 'The Mandalorian.' Here's her response afterward"
In a surprising turn of events, Gina Carano and Disney/Lucasfilm have reached a settlement following the actress's wrongful termination lawsuit. The lawsuit, which was due to go to trial in February 2026, was instigated after Carano's firing from the popular Star Wars spinoff series, "The Mandalorian," in 2021 due to several controversial social media posts.
The settlement details reveal that Disney acknowledged Carano was "always well respected" by directors, co-stars, and staff on The Mandalorian. The company also expressed a willingness to work with Carano again in the future. Disney, who previously defended the firing on First Amendment grounds, has now reversed its stance, and both parties have agreed to move forward without further litigation.
Carano, who can be found on Twitter under the handle @ginacarano, expressed her gratitude to Elon Musk for funding her lawsuit. In her statement, she mentioned healing for the force, possibly referring to the Star Wars franchise. She also expressed her hope to move onto the next chapter and continue in the arts.
Lucasfilm has stated that they look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Carano in the near future. The focus of the settlement was on resolving the dispute amicably, with pronouncements of respect for Carano’s professionalism and an optimistic tone about future opportunities to work together.
The legal battle between Gina Carano, Lucasfilm, and Disney has now ended with a confidential settlement. The specifics about financial terms or other detailed conditions of the settlement were not disclosed in the sources.
