![]() ![]() Perhaps her reasons for not kowtowing to the trans community has to do with her previous job as an MMA fighter. And they didn’t really have an answer to that. It’s like, ‘ why don’t you guys address that? It might be healthier if you address what’s happening, uh, the aggressive push. I actually asked the LGBTQ community leaders for the trans section. Don’t you guys see what’s like happening online? It’s like all these bots, it’s not real people it’s just – I don’t know who these people are.Ĭarano: Yeah. I think it’s also a bit abusive that you want me to talk to forty people – forty people! – I don’t feel like I deserve this. You think I want to get on a video where they can then film it?’ I felt very insecure about that. And I felt like ‘all your employees are slandering the hell out of me right now. ![]() They wanted me to get on the phone with, like, forty of their LGBTQ community. All these Lucasfilm employees are railing me on their websites. They wanted me to say this, I felt like it was ingenuine, I wrote out this massive thing…but they didn’t want that. Interviewer: And after that the Disney/Lucasfilm folks said that you won’t do any press after that for The Mandalorian.Ĭarano: Yeah, we went through this very long thing where it was like ‘back and forth, back and forth’. I got on the phone with them and they…actually reported back to Disney and Lucasfilm…they thought it would be a bad idea if they cancelled me…I got on Zoom with them and I explained ‘hey I just…don’t have hate in my heart for anyone (laughs).

Would he have fired anyone for expressing a “controversial” opinion on social media?Īfter getting fired from The Mandalorian, former MMA fighter and actress Gina Carano revealed in a tell-all interview why she was fired from the popular Disney+ show – and it wasn’t because of her Holocaust tweet.Ĭarano: When we first started having problems it had to have been on the pronoun usage I think was the first problem, um maybe before that. Would he make some public service announcement about systemic racism or homophobia? Would he constantly snark about a politician or two like Mark Hamill?
