The Mandalorian: Despite Fans Wanting Gina Carano Fired, Disney Reportedly Won’t Be Letting Her Go
Published on November 16th, 2020 | Updated on November 16th, 2020 | By FanFest
The Mandalorian‘s Cara Dune is a badass character on screen – a tough, female presence on the show – says what she wants and does what she wants. Gina Carano, who plays Cara, is similar to her on-screen character, saying exactly how she feels and, this time, it’s about the election and voter fraud.
Fans love The Mandalorian, and Cara Dune is a fan-favorite on the show. It’s also been rumored that she may receive her own spinoff in the Star Wars Universe. However, her comments on voting, and some others that may come across as transphobic, may be getting her into hot water – at least with viewers. Now, Mandalorian fans are wanting her replaced with another female lead… Frog Lady. But it isn’t going to happen.
Fans haven’t held back their feelings about Carano and her position on voter fraud. There is a petition to have her removed, like Amber Heard from Aquaman 2, but those petitions very rarely gain any traction with the studios. Most often than not, studios tend to shy away from firing anyone over their opinions unless those opinions could be deemed as harmful or insensitive to others and impact the studio’s bottom line.
However, despite the uproar, according to our sources, Disney reportedly won’t part ways with Carano over her political posts, as they fear backlash for letting someone go over a political opinion. The thought is, the country is politically divided – almost equally – and Carano’s speech is protected. So long as her opinions aren’t detrimental or harmful, Disney will keep her in place.
Here’s Carano’s tweet and some reaction from fans and viewers. Read them for yourselves and let us know what you think. Do they warrant Carano being fired?
We need to clean up the election process so we are not left feeling the way we do today.
Put laws in place that protect us against voter fraud.
Investigate every state.
Film the counting.
Flush out the fake votes.
Require ID.
Make Voter Fraud end in 2020.
Fix the system. 🇺🇸— Gina Carano 🕯 (@ginacarano) November 5, 2020

Can we CG Frog Lady in for all of Gina Carano’s scenes for the rest of the season? https://t.co/XGuP269uup

Anyways, sure wish @starwars would take a stance against Gina Carano, who has openly mocked the black lives matter movement and trans people on top of her covid/mask conspiracy theorists rhetoric. Star Wars stood behind John Boyega’s BLM protests, so where’s the support now?

Speculation: I somehow doubt they will acknowledge it at all, and callously expect that part of that is how having her may appeal to a certain portion of the fandom who align with her. I think that is a mistake, as it will only empower their toxicity, but I see the “logic.”

the only reason gina carano is so buff is because she spends her days digging herself into a deeper hole

As a human, Ms Carano is entitled to her opinion. As an American, she is entitled to voice them. Stop your whining, if you don’t like what she has said then don’t watch the show.
So she’s allowed to have an opinion, but no one else is? Her speech is protected, but the public are allowed to react to that however they please. And companies are allowed to make decisions based on that. Hope Disney takes a stand against bigotry here. Transphobic plague spreaders have no place in the Star Wars universe.
As humans, all those people “whining” are also entitled to their opinions, and entitled to voicing them. They are also entitled to watch the show even if they don’t like what she said. Get effed, dumb.
I agree with Carano. Keep her.
Awful lot of snowflakes watch star wars I see
Seriously democratic actors have been voicing their opinions (and false narratives) and now because Gina says let’s look into voter fraud you want her replaced? Grow up people! If you think Biden won, the look-see shouldn’t be a problem, should it???
