From Star Wars sensation to being "canceled" by the world, Gina Carano's path has been nothing short of a galactic soap opera. Her controversial exit from The Mandalorian, fueled by Tweets and remarks, is still making waves across the galaxy, as reported by The Direct on January 10, 2023.
The Galactic Drama Unfolds
For those who may have been stuck in a galaxy far, far away, Carano was let go from her role as Cara Dune due to her controversial social media posts, including antisemitic and transphobic comments.
"I didn’t fumble the bag I just didn’t go along with the sell-out narrative," Carano stated boldly, addressing her critics and adding, "the online mob couldn’t handle that so they petitioned to have me fired & won. I’m not sorry for that."
The Battle with The Hollywood Reporter
The latest episode in this saga involves a verbal duel with Richard Newby, a contributor to The Hollywood Reporter, who mockingly commented on how Carano had lost a lucrative opportunity.
"She didn't just fumble the bag, she dumped it out, put it over her head and cut off her air supply," he tweeted.
Well, Carano wasn't having any of that. She swiftly retaliated, defending her actions and condemning Newby: "Are you aware that we released Terror on the Prairie exclusively on the Daily Wire & you didn’t know that? Or are ignorance & spreading hate your only purpose here?"
Carano continued to stand her ground, highlighting her own integrity: "The genuine bag fumble is sell-out journalists like you who sold out America and stopped asking questions to be liked by a fickle manipulated mob."
A New Star Rises?
As Carano's Star Wars chapter ends, it's hard to ignore the ripple effect her departure has had on the MandoVerse. The cancellation of Rangers of the New Republic, which was rumored to focus on her character, has certainly left room for new developments within the universe, like the much-anticipated Ahsoka and possibly The Acolyte.
But one thing's for sure, whether you're with her or against her, Gina Carano's voice is far from silenced. After all, in her own words, "I stood for what I believe the right thing to do was & the more time that goes by the better I feel."
Is this the last we'll hear from the actress? Something tells us, just like the Force, Gina Carano is still very much with us.
