Lucasfilm has said they will no longer work with The Mandalorian star Gina Carano due to her 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 confirmed to The Verge.
“Her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
Carano had recently come under fire following posts on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
She’s transphobic, anti-mask, alt-right who parrots QAn*n conspiracies, doesn’t believe in systematic racism, and now shares anti-semitic images. @starwars @Disney #FireGinaCarano pic.twitter.com/wi4rbwXwvs

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, she shared a post on Instagram appearing to compare the treatment of Jewish during the Holocaust to Republicans in the present day.
THR also reports that she has been dropped by her agents UTA.
Last year, Carano also shared unsubstantiated claims of vote fraud in the US Presidential election.
We need to clean up the election process so we are not left feeling the way we do today.
Put laws in place that protect us against voter fraud.
Investigate every state.
Film the counting.
Flush out the fake votes.
Require ID.
Make Voter Fraud end in 2020.
Fix the system. ??— Gina Carano ? (@ginacarano) November 5, 2020
Gina Carano played Cara Dune in The Mandalorian, a former Rebel shock trooper turned mercenary who befriends Din Djarin and helps him look after The Child.
Carano originally found fame as an MMA fighter, competing in Strikeforce, and is considered a pioneer of women’s MMA. She moved into acting after she caught the attention of director Steven Soderbergh, who cast her in the lead of the 2011 action movie Haywire, alongside Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, and Channing Tatum. She then went on to have supporting roles in blockbusters like Deadpool and Fast & Furious 6.
