Gina Carano is “not currently employed by Lucasfilm,” the company said in a statement Wednesday after controversy erupted over “The Mandalorian” star’s social media posts.
“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,” a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement. “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
Carano shared several offensive posts on her Instagram stories Tuesday night, including one that likened contemporary political differences to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.
“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children,” Carano wrote Instagram. “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views.” The post originated on a different Instagram account.
In another post, Carano shared a photo of a person wearing multiple cloth masks with the caption, “Meanwhile in California…”
Both posts were gone from Carano’s Instagram by mid-day Wednesday. Other posts, including one in which Carano wrote “Jeff Epstein didn’t kill himself,” remained.
The hashtag #FireGinaCarano began circulating on Twitter Wednesday in response to her posts. Many users tagged Lucasfilm and corporate parent Disney in their posts.
Carano is no stranger to controversy on social media. In November she was criticized for mocking people who specify preferred pronouns when she updated her Twitter bio with “beep/bop/boop,” which she later removed.
In December, Lucasfilm announced “Rangers of the New Republic,” a direct spinoff of “The Mandalorian” that seemed to suggest a path for her character Cara Dune, a former Rebel trooper who had become a Marshall for the New Republic on the show. Lucasfilm has not yet announced a cast for the new show, however.
Only the left is allowed inference of evil by invoking Nazi like behavior.
Down the s-hole. Catherine Kennedy did this, not J. Favreau.
It looks like you’ve has too much to think, Deplorable. Thoughtcrime, doubleplusungood.
Just once I’d like these media types to not pander and just say no to Woke nitwits
You know, they way they do many times when Christians complain....
I learn this chick is on our side and they fire her immediately.
Black-Listing is OK when “They” do it.
Try K-dramas. Korean entertainment is blissfully un-PC. It’s also picking up quite a worldwide fan base.

Nope. That’s all that’s on broadcast TV in the Philippines. Korean Telenovelas. Hate EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Gina’s my worth is supposedly around 8 million $, she will be fine.
Hypocrites!!!!
Not all Blacklists are equal...
Read Daniel Goldhagen’s book “The Good Germans”. That should substantiate some, if not all of what Carano said.
It all started with the 1934 Nuremberg Laws which was the first concerted effort to make German Jews the object of Germany’s defeat in WW1 (despite tens of thousands of German Jews fighting for the Kaiser), and the economic/political mess afterwards.
Looks like the Disney Klan is now rewriting history, just like the Communists and Nazis. My, oh, my, how odd is that?
Here is the full title of Daniel Jonah Goldhagen’s book:
“Hitler’s Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust”, softback version, Vintage Books, A Division of Random House, Inc., New York, 1996, 1997.
Read Chapter 4: “The Nazis’ Assault on the Jews: Its Character and Evolution”.
This should help to buttress Carano’s statement.
Unless they happen to be white and/or Christian. Fing hypocrites
BREAKING: Lucasfilm caves to WOKE MOB and fires Gina Carano from Mandalorian
Note to Disney and Lucasfilm: You’ve done it now...
I only saw the first season once.
If memory serves, her character isn’t Mandalorian. She was from Alderaan.
She’s an ex Alliance Shock Trooper.

She’s right
In the Baltic states in particular where Jews had been seen as cooperative with the recent Soviet hegemony which took its own death purge on Lithuanian nationalists ...., when the Nazis pushed the Soviets back the locals took revenge.
It was awful....in fact I think the worst atrocities of the war that we actually know about.....Red Army atrocities in their victory being one we can’t gauge...
Villagers often festive and intoxicated rounded up Jewish men women and children....guilty of Soviet collaboration or not....and beat them to death in circle games in the forest usually....1000s
Not just the men but also the women participated in the bludgeoning mostly....akin to Rwanda baseball bats
Even SS brass and enlisted men ...no strangers to killing folks...were appalled ....this was also pre 1943 and the order to kill jewish women and children was not yet in full force
I think that was where Himmler got blood splattered by coup de grace administered near him and decided it was time to find a better way....hence gas
Some of these executioners killed 5-10,000 people ....those mostly with pistols at the end ...after beating them ....it was so bad most shooters requested smaller German copies of Baby brownings in 25 or smaller German origin works in something akin to our .32 auto ....so many 9mm Luger rounds administered was wearing them out
Only spot I’ve read compares is the Catholic Croat Ustashi purge of Jews and Serbs .....with locals more zealous than the SS
Belorus I’m unfamiliar with but I hear it but it was very bad too.
What humans.....do to one another
When we criticize minorities for primitive irrational tribal violence in Africa or Chicago or Juarez this is what they will always throw back at us
Whites when they put their mind to it justified or not can kill like nobody else
Gina is so right unfortunately
