Actress Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm for wrongful termination and sex discrimination in an escalation of a dispute over her firing from the streaming Star Wars series “The Mandalorian.”
“A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Defendants made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated. And so it was with Carano,” the complaint filed on Tuesday states.
“After two highly acclaimed seasons on ‘The Mandalorian’ as Rebel ranger Cara Dune, Carano was terminated from her role as swiftly as her character’s peaceful home planet of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Death Star in an earlier Star Wars film,” the suit continues.
