“This Is The Way”: Gina Carano Whacks Disney For ‘Mandalorian’ Axing; Elon Musk Footing The Legal Bills

When it comes to fired Mandalorian actress Gina Carano and Elon Musk. revenge against the Walt Disney Company comes cold and takes a bit of time.

Three years after the ex-MMA fighter was axed by the then Bob Chapek-run media giant for comparing the political climate in America to Nazi Germany, Carano today is suing Disney and Star Wars shingle Lucasfilm for dropping her from the bounty hunter series – and the X/Tesla owner is paying for her lawyers.

“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,” the jury trial seeking complaint filed this morning in federal court says, with some Star Wars lingo tossed in for effect. And so it was with Carano,” the action continues.

“The rule of law still reigns over the Defendants’ empire …and Carano has returned to demand that they be held accountable for their bullying, discriminatory, and retaliatory actions—actions that inflicted not only substantial emotional harm, but millions of dollars in lost income,”  the wrongful discharge and sex discrimination suit adds.

Seeking a slew of damages and a court order to get her Rebel ranger Cara Dune role back, Carano took to social media Tuesday to amplify her long delayed legal move. Claiming her “words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist,” the ex-UTA represented actress – they dumped her not long after Disney/Lucasfilm did in February 2021 – also revealed that Musk is playing bank for her.

Disney has not replied to Deadline’s request for comment on Carano’s Musk back suit. If and when the Mouse House does, this post will be updated.
