• Gina Carano has settled her lawsuit with Disney following her firing from 'The Mandalorian.'
• Carano claimed wrongful termination and discrimination after controversial social media posts.
• Details of the settlement remain undisclosed, but both sides expressed mutual respect.

Actress Gina Carano has settled her federal lawsuit against Lucasfilm and its parent company, The Walt Disney Company, regarding her firing from the popular series 'The Mandalorian'. Carano was terminated in 2021 over social media posts that were deemed "abhorrent and unacceptable" by Lucasfilm, which included comparisons of the political climate in the U.S. to Nazi Germany, leading to significant public backlash and the trending hashtag #FireGinaCarano, according to Reuters and CBS News.

Carano filed her lawsuit for wrongful termination and sex discrimination in February 2024, claiming she was treated differently compared to male co-stars with similar posts. She described the settlement as the "best outcome for all parties involved" and expressed gratitude towards Elon Musk for his support in funding her legal battle, according to HuffPost and Reuters.

Despite the controversy, a Lucasfilm spokesperson emphasized that Carano was "always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff," noting her dedication to her craft and colleagues. The specific terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but both sides look forward to future collaborations, indicating a potential reconciliation following the settlement, according to Channel News Asia and BBC.

The lawsuit was set to go to trial in February, but the settlement, which dismisses the case with prejudice, prevents it from being refiled, thus concluding this chapter of her career. Carano, who played the character Cara Dune, expressed her hope for a new beginning in the arts after the resolution of her legal issues, according to CBS News and HuffPost.
