Share this @internewscast.com

Disney and Lucasfilm announced they have settled a lawsuit with actor Gina Carano, who filed the suit last year, claiming she was wrongfully dismissed from “The Mandalorian” in 2021.

Carano initiated the lawsuit in federal court in California in February 2024, alleging she was terminated from her role on the show due to expressing right-wing views on social media, and asserted she suffered emotional distress and faced financial losses worth millions following her firing. She aimed to secure a court order for Lucasfilm to either reinstate her or provide her with compensation of at least $75,000.

The specifics of the settlement were not disclosed immediately. Lucasfilm’s statement indicated the settlement would “resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies.”

“Ms. Carano was consistently respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she dedicated herself to honing her skills while showing kindness and respect to her colleagues,” Lucasfilm stated. “With this lawsuit now concluded, we look forward to considering future opportunities to collaborate with Ms. Carano.”

Carano also announced the settlement in a statement via her agent, saying the deal “is the best outcome for all parties involved.”

“I am eager to turn the page and embark on the next chapter. My passion remains in the arts, where I hope you will join me,” Carano expressed in her statement.

She thanked Elon Musk, who she called “a man I’ve never met, who did this Good Samaritan deed for me in funding my lawsuit.”

When the lawsuit was initially filed, Carano confirmed that Musk and X would support her financially for the legal battle, fulfilling Musk’s previous pledge to cover legal expenses for any X users claiming to have faced discrimination due to their activity on the social media platform.

Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the settlement.

Carano, in the past, has posted on social media likening modern political divides to the Holocaust and mocking people who wore masks during the pandemic. She also appeared to suggest there was voter fraud during the 2016 presidential election. There has been no evidence of widespread fraud.

She claimed in the suit that male colleagues that made similar comments were not held to the same standards.
