REPORT: LucasFilm Considering Recasting Gina Carano's Role on The Mandalorian
pjmedia.com ^ | 11/25/2021 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 11/26/2021 8:43:55 AM PST by rktman

Earlier this year, actress Gina Carano was fired by Disney for wrongthink. Carano played Cara Dune, a fan-favorite character in the hit Disney+ show The Mandalorian, and her firing left a gaping hole in the cast.

It hasn’t been clear what LucasFilm planned to do about Carano’s absence from the show, which won’t go unnoticed by the fans. (Her character was likely intended to have a long future of being connected to the franchise.) However, one site, Giant Freakin Robot, reports that reliable sources say LucasFilm is considering addressing her absence.

Giant Freakin Robot previously reported that Carano could return to The Mandalorian, but, they admit, the source on that scoop was “weak at best.”

Well, if they decide to 're-hire' her, she should lead them down the garden path in negotiations all the way to just short of the finish line and then tell them to politely phu-cough. Or, maybe they need some cash for a production and think that if they re-hire her that Caesers Entertainment might pony up some captal?

Who is Gina Carano and why was she fired in the first place?
That tidbit of info would let me know whether I want to read the article or not.

Gina Carano is a rebel who was fired for posting that her preferred pronouns were “beep, bop, and boop.”

She is/was an MMA fighter, part of the family that now owns Caesars Entertainment. They let her go for something she said that luc-ass films took offense to. A conservative view point. Not really a lot for you to read.

This whole article may well have been written in Sanskrit. I would understand about the same amount.

She dared to speak her mind with an opinion that was unpopular to all of the woke majors working at LucasFilm.

They fired her.

Lots of fans left the show in protest and cancelled Disney (me too).

Their subscription numbers have not recovered so all of a sudden the non-woke majors running the company have realized that the “wokeness” cost them a lot of money.

End of cliff notes.....

lol! I like her already.
J.K Rowling (author of Harry Potter books) got into hot water for saying the same thing in England. She continues to get flack for it.

She's a former MMA fighter who turned actress. She compared the left's cancel culture to the Holocaust, so Disney fired her (to prevent being canceled themselves).

Other top-line talent at Disney made similar comments and weren't fired, because their comments were about President Trump and not the rabid left.

Being a Star Wars story, they'll probably have the character convert to the same cult as the title character and don a suit of armor that cannot be removed. They'll explain the change of voice as an effect of the helmet.

J.K. Rowling is getting more than flack. Some of those idiots are showing up at her house. It seems they want to dox her to the point that she is afraid and recants. I like the lgbtqnation report. It is really over the top, clutch my pearls melodrama at it’s best.

Rowling continues to get substantiated death threats.

Typical of the left.

Accept our mental illness, support our delusions, OR WE’LL KILL YOU!

Ah, no.

I have several “transitioning” delusional gender-denying patients, fortunately for me I’m not involved in any way shape or form with their delusional thinking and I’m not prone to suffering “Folie a Dieux.”

I had ONE minor “run-in” with such a patient about fifteen years ago, where I told him (HIM) I was probably the wrong physician for HIM and to see one of the other docs in our practice, which HE did.

Not really.

Here is the money paragraph quote from Freaking Robot:

“This was always going to be a decision that would divide fans. Many people are still hoping Lucasfilm will decide to bring Gina Carano back. However, the company has appeared pretty final on their public decision to cut ties with the actress. Recasting an actor is always a controversial move though, especially when the character is particularly popular. Considering the long time frame of the Star Wars universe, Cara Dune had only gotten started. Ten years from now, audiences will likely have seen a dozen more Star Wars projects from series to movies. When considering the long term like that, will fans prefer having let go of Cara Dune entirely? Or will they have fallen in love with a new actress who has taken over the role? This is one of the questions Lucasfilm is facing when making this decision.”

If Disney’s decision is final, then fans will leave Disney, finally.

Recasting would just add to the poison Disney, the woke, and Kathleen Kennedy first spewed.

Pedro Pascal shot his Leftist mouth off again last week tweeting in memory of Kyle Rittenhouse’s attackers Saturday and claimed they were “murdered. “Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 27, murdered August 25th, 2020. Rest In Peace,” Pascal tweeted.

That he can get away with stating his noxious opinions and Gina gets fired online for stating hers (and not particularly noxious) is the true injustice the woke support. Is Disney woke? Is that their final decision?

Disney has to decide if they are only the Left’s media company, or everyone’s. If they chose Left, we’re done with them.

Disney has gone pervert woke for years.

Some folks just take longer than others to figure it out...

I left and I know two other families with kids who left. Writing is on the wall....

The “woke” have spoken. I don’t encourage people to boycott but I do try as much as possible to vote with my wallet. We left Netflix for the same reason.

What they did to Gina was another example of the woke bully mob in action.
