Gina Carano Says She Spoke With Lucasfilm About Possible ‘Star Wars’ Return

The talks signal a thaw following her 2025 legal settlement.

Overview

  • Carano, who played Cara Dune on The Mandalorian, said in an interview published Monday that she had a friendly post‑settlement Zoom with Lucasfilm chief Dave Filoni and creator Jon Favreau.
  • Disney has said that, with the lawsuit resolved, it looks forward to identifying opportunities to work with Carano in the near future.
  • There is no official offer or role announced, and coverage notes nothing indicates a surprise appearance in The Mandalorian and Grogu next month.
  • Lucasfilm cut ties with Carano in February 2021 over social media posts it called abhorrent and unacceptable, she sued in 2024, and both sides settled in 2025.
  • Reporters say Lucasfilm is prioritizing theatrical releases over expanding Disney+ series, which could shape if and where a Cara Dune return would fit.
