From its first season, The Mandalorian became the crowning glory of the modern Star Wars universe. Season 2 of the series fell under a cloud, however, when Disney announced that Gina Carano had been removed from the role of Cara Dune due to previous statements the actress had made on Twitter that the studio deemed offensive.
On a recent episode of The Bill Bert Podcast , Bill Burr , who plays Mayfeld on the series, criticized the way Carano’s actions had been handled by Disney and the internet crowd.
“It’s a weird time… Unless she did some really horrible shit or said blatantly racist shit.” I do not know. I think there are too many channels. And then you have to do some sensational shit… I don’t know what this is. I’m in this fucking series. Now I have to watch what I’m saying… She was really darling. Super nice f * cking person. And you know anything and somehow somebody’s gonna take this video and they’ll make me say something else and try to get rid of my bald figure… that’s how it works. past. . The people are just waiting, lying in the weeds. ”
“Cancel Culture ” has been helped tremendously by the proliferation of social media. This is not the first time that Disney has responded to objectionable tweets from one of its employees with a dismissal. Something similar happened to Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn when some offensive tweets he posted many years ago were hit on again.
In this case, Disney immediately fired Gunn but was forced to bring him back after a public outcry from his fans and head. Guardians actors. In the case of Gina Carano Plus, many online petitions have been created to demand that she be reinstated as Cara Dune. But this time around, the Mouse Empire is unlikely to change its mind. Speaking about the problem in a previous interview, Carano had revealed that she wasn’t surprised by her dismissal, since she had already been informed some time ago that Disney was looking to get rid of her.
“They accidentally emailed me, which was very informative, so I knew. I knew they were careful. I know some people went to fight for me, but I know they didn’t win in the end… They were all over me and they looked at me like a hawk, and I look at the people on the same output and they can say whatever they want, and that’s where I had a problem. problem because I didn’t agree with the story. ”
