Gina Carano fired: This past week has been rough for Gina Carano, who played the role of  Cara Dune on The Mandalorian. She was fired from the Lucasfilm on February 10 because of her social media updates.   

The Star Wars producers announced that Carano is not employed by them and neither will she ever be associated with in the future. They called her social media posts " abhorrent and unacceptable". 

Which social media post got Gina Carano fired? 

Carano created a ton of controversy by posting an objectionable opinion on her Instagram story. She wrote,  “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbours…even by children. " She didn't stop there and claimed that because the "history is edited" people today don't realise that Nazi soldiers first made the neighbours of jews hate them and that led to the killing of thousands of jews. She added, "How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?" 

Her post was reported and taken down later. She really took it far by adding a picture of a person wearing double masks and wrote, " Meanwhile in California" and "Expecting everyone you encounter to agree with every belief or view you hold is fucking wild." 

Later it was reported that Carano had severed ties with her talent agency UTA. Or maybe it was the other way round. Gina Carano fired

Did Carano's controversial views come out of the blue? 

Not really, in November last year, Gina Carano was constantly tweeting about how she doesn't agree with transgender pronouns and expressed her other objectionable views on mask-wearing and even joined certain Americans in their claim that the US elections in 2020 saw a voter fraud. 

This made Star Wars ask Disney and Lucasfilm to fire Carano. The hashtag #FireGinaCarano went viral on the social networking site. At the time no statements were by Disney neither Lucasfilms. Carano had also declared that she will migrate her social media profiles to a certain app which she claimed give more freedom of speech.
