Overview
- Carano, who was dropped by Lucasfilm in 2021 over social posts the studio called unacceptable, later settled her 2024 wrongful-termination and discrimination lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm.
- She said she recently spoke on Zoom with Lucasfilm creative chief Dave Filoni and producer Jon Favreau and discussed where her character, Cara Dune, last stood.
- Her return to mixed martial arts in Rousey vs. Carano streams on Netflix on May 16 from Inglewood, California, boosting interest in her next moves.
- Lucasfilm has praised her professionalism since the settlement, yet the studio has not announced any rehiring, any role for her, or a revival of Rangers of the New Republic.
- Entertainment outlets are treating a Cara Dune comeback as speculation tied to the current Mandalorian-era slate, with coverage also noting Elon Musk’s funding of her suit and the wider fight over how companies police public speech.
