Gina Carano has settled her lawsuit against Lucasfilm and Disney over her firing from “The Mandalorian.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Gina Carano has settled her federal lawsuit against Lucasfilm and its parent The Walt Disney Co. over her claim that she was fired from “The Mandalorian” in 2021 for expressing right-wing views on social media.

The specific terms of the agreement were not made available.

“Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect,” Lucasfilm said in a statement. “With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.”

The two sides stipulated in a federal court filing Thursday that the case should be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can’t be refiled. A judge still needs to formally dismiss it. The case had been scheduled to go to trial in Los Angeles in February of next year.

The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in California last year, alleged Carano was wrongfully terminated from the “Star Wars” galaxy Disney+ series after two seasons due to a post likening the treatment of American conservatives to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. Her posts were widely criticized online and spurred a trending #FireGinaCarano hashtag.

    Then you dont disagree with what she said, you are literally defending it in a multiple paragraph comment. Freedom of speech makes hate speech okay, really???

    Sure you can say whatever you want, but you arent free from consequences of said speech. Why are you defending far right nonsense anyway?

      I said “I don’t agree with what she said”.

      Also never said that. But if anyone who expresses hateful things are attacked, then the ideas will always live in the shadows. And when the right environment comes (like in the US right now) then those ideas from the shadows will come out.

      you arent free from consequences of said speech.

      I never said people shouldn’t be free of consequences. I said I didn’t think she should get fired for what I (originally) thought was effectively an edgy comment. I had no idea she was posting tons of crazy stuff.

      Why are you defending far right nonsense anyway?

      When did I defend far right nonsense? Please, find a single post of mine where I did. Because saying I don’t think singing should be fired for saying something is worlds different than defending what they said. Frankly, she’s an idiot for the things she said. I don’t agree with any of them. And I have never once defended her.
