Unless you’re a fan of MMA or Steven Soderbergh’s not-so-great films, you may not have been aware of who Gina Carano is before her appearance as Cara Dune on “The Mandalorian.” However, over the first two seasons of the “Star Wars” spinoff, Carano became a lightning rod for controversy on social media where fans saw that the actress shared some politically-charged, transphobic, anti-Semitic, and conspiracy theory-laden messages.

The ongoing fallout of the Gina Carano story continues. Fired from “The Mandalorian” series by Lucasfilm — following months of problematic social media posts and a controversial, straw-that-broke-the-camels-back post that many viewed as anti-Semitic — THR has an interesting behind the scenes look at her dismissal from the hit series, following the news that she learned of her firing through social media.

The Mandalorian season two was pulled after she refused to post a studio-written apology following claims she mocked transgender people.The actor, who played Cara Dune in the Star Wars Disney+ show, was fired from the show last week following a post she shared that compared the current divided political climate in the US to Nazi Germany.Last year, Carano was accused of mocking transgender pronouns by putting “Beep/bop/boop” in her profile bio.

To borrow a phrase, Gina Carano f*cked around and found out. Last week “The Mandalorian” actress was fired from the Lucasfilm TV series after some controversial social media remarks which many found anti-Semitic (she compared the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis as not much different for hating right-wingers for their conservative values, which is an appalling false equivalency and bankrupt victimization).

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or if you don’t give a shit about “Star Wars” and/or political drama), you’re probably aware that Gina Carano was let go from her contract with Lucasfilm, and thus, no longer a part of the cast of “The Mandalorian,” after her latest controversial tweets got her in even more hot water.
