Gina Carano may call on The Mandalorian co-star Pedro Pascal plus series creator Jon Favreau to testify at her upcoming trial

As a die-hard Star Wars fan and fervent supporter of Gina Carano, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions reading about this upcoming trial. It’s been over four years since Cara Dune graced our screens in The Mandalorian, and it feels like an eternity without her fierce presence.


Approximately a week has passed since the court rejected Disney’s request to dismiss Gina Carano’s discrimination case, and now, prospective witnesses for her upcoming trial have come to light.

In the initial two seasons of the widely adored Star Wars show, The Mandalorian, a 42-year-old actress took on the role of Cara Dune. However, unexpectedly, she was let go from the series.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d like to share an event that transpired recently, focusing on the actions of Disney. In February 2021, Disney decided promptly to part ways with one of their employees, Carano, following contentious social media posts she made. These posts drew parallels between contemporary Republicans and Jews in Nazi Germany, which understandably stirred up controversy and concern.

Alongside parting ways with her talent agency, ICM, a particular episode featuring her on Running Wild with Bear Grylls was eventually scrapped as well.

In February 2024, the actress initiated a lawsuit, which has since progressed. Recently, The Hollywood Reporter disclosed that Pedro Pascal (from The Mandalorian), its creator Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy of LucasFilm, and survivalist expert Bear Grylls are all involved in this legal matter.

Additionally, individuals like Bob Iger’s successor at Disney, Bob Chapek, and Lynne Hale, known for spearheading the show’s promotional efforts, might also be involved.

The preliminary hearing for this case has been tentatively set for September 25, 2025. One point of debate could revolve around whether Gina Carano was indeed employed by Disney at the time she was terminated on February 10, 2021.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to shed light on an important matter: the apparent inconsistency in handling disputes related to personal beliefs within the entertainment industry. For instance, it’s been brought to attention that Gina Carano was dismissed from Disney’s “The Mandalorian” for expressing her viewpoints, while her male co-stars with similar posts seem to have avoided consequences thus far. This raises questions about fairness and equal treatment in such situations.

In my previous reflections, dating back to 2017, I drew a parallel between President Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. The similarities I observed then still resonate today.

A different entry in Pascal’s court case likened the U.S.’s handling of illegal immigration to Nazi detainment camps.

There are reports suggesting that Favreau may be asked to provide testimony regarding the proposed spin-off series, Rangers of the New Republic, where it was planned for his character, Cara Dune, to take on a leading role.

The project was initially unveiled as early as December 2020; however, no further updates have been shared about it since then.

There’s a chance that Grylls might be required to give testimony regarding the episode he shot with Carano, which was removed from Disney Plus streaming.

Disney countered her proposed witness list, yet consented for Carrie Beck, Lucasfilm’s vice president of animation and live-action development, as well as Disney’s executive vice president of communication, to take the stand.

The trial also made headlines after X owner Elon Musk revealed he was backing the trial, after stating he promised to support anyone suffering employment discrimination for what they posted on X. 

As a committed supporter, I’m sharing the news that Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett, in her capacity as a U.S. District Judge, dismissed the claims that my freedom of speech under the First Amendment prevents me from pursuing discrimination allegations.

Disney asserts they have the right to separate the content of their shows from the personal viewpoints of their actors, which some viewers might find objectionable.
