Carano Has Talked About “Star Wars” Return

Gina Carano has confirmed that she’s had conversations with “Star Wars” franchise steerers Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau about a possible return to that universe.

Disney and Lucasfilm settled a lawsuit from Carano, who accused the studios of discrimination and wrongful termination regarding her firing from the “Star Wars” TV series “The Mandalorian”.

Filed last year, the lawsuit alleged she was fired for voicing right-wing opinions on social media and sought a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her.

Speaking about a recent Zoom call on The Ariel Helwani Show, the actress says:

“I’ve already had a conversation with Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau. Really lovely. You know, after we settled the lawsuit, we got onto a Zoom call. It was really nice. Dave is taking over as CEO of Star Wars. We didn’t miss a beat. Jon Favreau was really funny. He was like, ‘So, where did we leave off?’”

In August last year, Disney released a statement about the lawsuit’s closure, saying they “look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future” and Carano “was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff”.
