Two books based on The Mandalorian were canceled, and fans were quick to assume this was due to the recent firing of Cara Dune actress Gina Carano.
The respective cancellations of two Disney + inspired books Star Wars Serie The mandalorian Some fans are wondering if it’s related to the recent firing of Cara Dune actress Gina Carano.
“Due to the ever-expanding world of The mandalorian, we will no longer publish The Ultimate Visual Guide to the Mandalorian right now, as the story continues to unfold on screen, “DK Books tweeted. At the same time, Del Ray tweeted:” Due to the ever-expanding world of The mandalorian, we will no longer publish THE ORIGINAL MANDALORIAN NOVEL at this time, as the story continues to unfold on screen. “However, while both accounts cited the ongoing nature of the series as the reasons for the cancellation, fans in responses were quick to mention the possibility that Cara Dune may need to be removed from the books.
Until Disney ships the new version with Gina Carano erased from every page I guess …

Yes, this sounds grim AF! It better not be because Cara Dune is in the book!

Let me guess: Cara had a prominent role and now that Gina has been canceled …

Well that’s disappointing. I hope this was canned for the right reasons and not as a reaction to Gina’s firing. I was looking forward to this. Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing Mitth’raw’nuruodo in April!

We all know it’s because Cara Dune is no longer part of the franchise. Disappointing.

On February 10, #FireGinaCarano began trending on Twitter after the actor shared a post from another social media account detailing how the strong fascist influence in Europe made it easier for the Nazis to go after Jews by making the rest of the world will hate them. The post ends by asking: “How is that different from hating someone for their political opinions?” Carano herself is an outspoken conservative, and her comparison of Republicans’ treatment of Jews during the Holocaust drew ire from fans.
Lucasfilm quickly released a statement, saying: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. However, her social media posts denigrate people based on their cultural identities and religious are abhorrent and unacceptable. “
Soon after, reports surfaced that Hasbro canceled all of its Cara Dune toys beyond existing orders. Hasbro’s Senior Vice President of Global Communications Julie Duffy later clarified, saying, “We are delighted to have the privilege of creating products with characters and stories from The mandalorian for our fans. Hasbro has completed development of all Season 1 and Season 2 products with Cara Dune, and there are no current plans to create more. We are actively working with our retail partners to fulfill existing orders. “
Created by Jon Favreau, The mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Carl Weathers, and Giancarlo Esposito. Season 3 has yet to receive a release date.
