Why did Gina Carano exit 'The Mandalorian'?

In February 2021, Carano garnered backlash on social media after sharing several controversial posts on her Instagram story. Her stories compared today's divided political climate to Nazi Germany. Another photo in her story featured a person with several cloth masks covering their entire face and head, with the caption "Meanwhile in California."

The first post by Carano read:

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. 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?"

Shortly after her social media controversy, news of her firing from Lucasfilm broke. This also put her future employment with Disney in danger. A statement was made by a spokesperson which read:

"Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm, and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable."

Carano was also dropped as a client by the UTA, which a spokesperson for the talent agency also confirmed.
