Gina Carano, a pioneer in mixed martial arts for women, was recently expelled from the Star Wars series The Mandalorian and future productions by Lucasfilm. Carano’s character, premium hunter Cara Dune, was a key character in the Disney + award-winning show.
Carano was let go by Lucasfilm, as well as UTA, the talent agency that represented her following a controversial post on social media that was later removed.
The report that Carano wrote on Twitter reads: ‘Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbors … even by children. Because history is being processed, most people today do not realize that the government first made their own neighbors hate because they were Jews to reach the point where Nazi soldiers could easily gather thousands of Jews. How is it different from hating someone because of his political views? ”
The hashtag #FireGinaCarano quickly started to trend and did so on Twitter for hours before being dropped by Lucasfilm and UTA.
‘Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. “Nevertheless, her social media messages that demean people based on their cultural and religious identity are abhorrent and unacceptable,” said a Lucasfilm spokeswoman.
Gina Carano issues statement after being appointed by a Conservative website
Within days of his release, Carano issued a statement of decision after being picked up by the Conservative website The Daily Wire, for whom she will develop and produce her own film.
‘The Daily Wire helping to make one of my dreams – to develop and produce my own film – come true. “I called out and my prayer was answered,” Carano told Deadline.
She uses her appointment by The Daily Wire to come out with a statement of intent to other people who feel they can be ‘canceled’.
‘I send a direct message of hope to all who live in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I have just started using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can not cancel us if we do not allow it. ‘
“We could not have been more excited to work with Gina Carano, an incredible talent who was dumped by Disney and Lucasfilm for offending the authoritarian Hollywood Left,” said Ben Shapiro, co-founder of The Daily Wire , told Deadline.
“This is what Daily Wire needs to do: it offers an alternative not only to consumers but also to creators who refuse to bow to the crowd.”
UFC Dana White Says Gina Carano Alone

Asked about Carano being canceled by Disney and Lucasfilm, White told MMAWeekly.com at a UFC 258 scrum: ‘Let Gina out. We all make mistakes. ”
Neither Carano nor The Daily Wire has released any specific details about the new partnership with the former fighter.
