|Actress [[Gina Carano]] sues [[The Walt Disney Company]] and co-owned [[Lucasfilm]] on claims she was [[wrongful dismissal|wrongfully fired]] from ''[[The Mandalorian]]'', seeking an order forcing the studio to rehire her or pay at least $75,000 in damages. Carano, who played [[Cara Dune]] during the [[Disney+]] [[space Western]]'s first two seasons, was fired in February 2021 after comparing the treatment of [[Conservatism in the United States|conservatives]] to the [[The Holocaust in Germany|Nazi persecution of Jews]] in an [[Instagram]] post (one of several inflammatory [[Gina Carano#Political views|social media posts]] of hers that were heavily criticized including remarks mocking [[Face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States|COVID-19 masking mandates]] and the inclusion of [[Personal pronoun#Gender|gender pronouns]] in social media profiles, and [[Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election|falsely claiming voter fraud]] in the [[2020 United States presidential election|2020 election]]). Carano, who received assistance from [[Twitter|X/Twitter]] parent [[X Corp.]] to cover legal fees, claims Lucasfilm did not hold male co-stars to similar standards for controversial posts aimed at Republicans (including one by series lead [[Pedro Pascal]] from 2017, comparing then-[[President of the United States|President]] [[Donald Trump]] to [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]), and subjected her to harassment and hurt her future work prospects.
