The ongoing legal dispute between Gina Carano and Disney/Lucasfilm continues, as the ex-star of “The Mandalorian” has recently shared new insights about her court case. Following a disagreement with Disney in 2021 that led to her dismissal from the “Star Wars” universe, Carano filed a lawsuit accusing Disney of wrongful termination and political bias.
On platform X, the social media site supported by Elon Musk (who’s also aiding her financially), Carano reassured her followers that advancements are in motion. Although she wasn’t able to disclose specifics just yet, she hinted at larger updates coming soon.
Hey guys! Thought I’d let you know that my lawsuit against Disney/Lucasfilm is still ongoing. I hope to have some meaningful news to share with you in the coming weeks.
@Disney @Lucasfilm #lawsuitupdate #StarWars
We remain determined and my team has been exceptional in honoring the court and respecting…

I wanted to give you a quick heads-up about the progress of my legal action against Disney/Lucasfilm. Things are moving along, and in the coming weeks, I expect to share more significant updates. My determination remains steadfast, and I’m incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication shown by my team throughout this process.
Apart from mentioning her lawyer, Gene Schaerr, she expressed faith in her legal team’s abilities. Furthermore, Carano acknowledged her supporters for commemorating “Cara Dune Day,” a yearly recognition of her Mandalorian character which falls on the 30th of January.
She expressed gratitude for the ongoing backing, ‘Yesterday was Cara Dune Day on January 30th, it resonated deeply with me… Let’s keep moving forward.’
Gina Carano, who played Cara Dune in the first two seasons of “The Mandalorian,” initially was intended to star in a “Star Wars” spinoff titled “Ranger of The New Republic.” However, Disney ended their relationship with her unexpectedly after a 2021 controversy over a controversial Instagram post. In this post, Carano seemed to liken the experiences of American conservatives to Jewish people during World War II in Germany.
After the event, Carano contends it was misunderstood; she didn’t mean what it appeared to suggest. Nevertheless, Lucasfilm declared that she would no longer participate in any Star Wars productions.
In February of 2024, three years after her termination, Gina Carano filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm. The lawsuit claims that Disney’s decision was influenced by politics and discriminatory, noting that co-star Pedro Pascal posted political content on social media that drew comparisons to 1930s and 40s Germany without facing any consequences. This case has garnered attention, with the court denying Disney’s request to throw it out. The trial is scheduled to commence on September 25, 2025.

Regardless of Disney’s choice to exclude her from Star Wars, Carano maintains a strong fan following who flock to her at major conventions. “Cara Dune Day” witnessed an influx of fans sharing artwork, merchandise collections, and messages of appreciation on social media. The hashtag #WeLoveCaraDune trended as longtime admirers rejoiced over her performance in The Mandalorian.
In the progression of Gina Carano’s lawsuit, the actress continues to fight for justice. Backed by a robust legal team and an unwavering fanbase, Carano’s struggle against Disney is set to carry on.
