Gina Carano can easily be considered one of the bigger cultural heroes of our time. Her name either lives in fame or infamy depending on who you talk to, but you can easily tell if a person is grounded in reality or equal parts ignorant and brainwashed based on their opinion of her.
For those who need a refresher or are hearing the story for the first time, Carano was an MMA fighter and actress who landed the role of a lifetime, playing Cara Dune in the Disney/Star Wars show “The Mandalorian.” At the time, the show was a spectacular display of what Star Wars could be, and it was a sign that perhaps the flagging franchise could be saved after all.
Carano would appear in the show for two seasons, but it was during that time that she began falling under attack for her political opinions, specifically, her opinion that no one should have to cave to the political opinions of the mainstream. After refusing to put pronouns in her bio, and even having a laugh about the rage she incited over the refusal, the cancelation attempts began in earnest. Soon, the radical leftists who truly wanted her gone and forgotten got their wish.
Carano sent out a tweet calling for everyone to treat each other as people, and discontinue treating each other as inhuman based on our political positions. She did this by highlighting how the Jewish people in Nazi Germany were sold out to the SS by their very neighbors after successful media campaigns painted them as evil incarnate. Disney used this tweet as an excuse to fire Carano, calling the tweet “abhorrent.”
It was a moment that truly revealed just how low Disney had sunk in terms of political bias. It adhered to the most radical of voices, and as we would go on to discover via a whistleblower, as well as added context from Carano herself, Disney had truly fallen to the radical left.
As I reported last Friday, the irreverent and often hilarious show South Park took a swing at the infection of woke culture in the arts and took specific aim at Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy and Disney. The clips of the show alone went viral across the internet, sparking a very unwanted conversation for Disney about the direction it’s gone and the bad will it created with audiences.
But amid all the voices commenting about Disney, Carano’s words were the loudest as her post on X contained an insider’s look at, not just the state of Lucasfilm, but the terrible weakness and insecurity of its studio head, Kennedy:
This is the part where KK demands any YouTubers get censored off of YouTube for sharing and laughing at this hilarious episode, she’ll have YouTube disable the thumbs down option because of the ratio she’ll receive, then she’ll have her publicist ghouls make sure Variety and Hollywood Reporter run hit pieces about the South Park creators and their families smearing their names through every useful idiot she has under her thumb who would sell their soul to work for Lucas film, she’ll activate her online mob to repeat that the South Park creators are racist, bigot, transphobes, and demand the South Park creators publicly apologize by only using words she approves of and finally she’ll demand they subject themselves to a re-education course of 45 people in the lbgtq community zoom call to sit there and listen of how badly they got their feelings hurt all over a little boop of a South Park episode. But maybe just maybe the jig is up.

But Carano wasn’t done. True to form, Kennedy’s shills began trying to make Carano look like she’d gone nuts. In a follow-up response to one of them, Carano revealed some truths about Kennedy that, while many people suspected, now can confirm are true.
Carano revealed that, during her employment with Lucasfilm, she was asked to unfollow certain accounts on Twitter because they’d said some bad things about Kennedy. Carano saw this as an issue because she knew that being in the public eye meant getting haters, but Carano also saw these people as opportunities to win over new fans. Moreover, some of these “haters” were actual fans of Star Wars that felt the universe had gone in the wrong direction, and that their criticisms were worth listening to.
But Kennedy didn’t just ignore them, she actively had these fans attacked, causing one of the worst collapses of a fan base in history.
“One of the problems your overlords are having now is that they’ve made a lot of people completely stop caring about one of the most beloved franchises in history, all by bullying, pushing aggressive agendas & trying to silence the people criticizing them,” said Carano.
Carano compared Disney/Lucasfilm to the Empire, noting that they’re behaving just like the dictatorial entity and can’t seem to get a good story together because they identify too much with the bad guy.
Carano also made note of how they treated employees like little more than pawns to be discarded at the mere hint of inconvenience or for the ability to virtue signal:
They fired & dehumanized people like me who did absolutely nothing wrong, all to virtue signal to people like you, the Yes Men. But Yes Men unfortunately for you & them, do not drive culture. Maybe they were banking on the kids picking up the slack but one of the best things about this franchise is passing it from generation to generation to share, the competition is too high to throw out something as valuable as that. Why would one generation pass it on when you’ve disrespected & thrown them away?
But Carano’s kill shot for Kennedy came with its direct criticism of Disney and the corporation allowing Kennedy to continue to destroy and disrespect the legacy of such a legendary franchise:
They’re choosing to stick with their weak leadership who couldn’t handle YouTubers saying mean things online, when all it would’ve taken is a true leader to step in, take the reigns, take some responsibility, stop discriminating, apologize about the things that have been done wrong, step completely out of politics, be truly inclusive & they’d be back in business.. until then, they’re stuck with you, the Yes Men & their plummeting stock.
Do you always call a woman crazy just because she has more first hand experience than you & says something you don’t like or understand?

Bit misogynistic don’t ya think. Tsk tsk.
Curious if your overlords pay you or do y’all just go ahead & shove your whole head straight up… https://t.co/E6eBNMqjpo
If you were to take a few steps back and look at this Lucasfilm situation, strip all the titles, glam, and marketing around it, you’re left seeing Kennedy for what she is; a rabidly insecure person who focuses more on controlling narratives about her charge than creating good works that speak for themselves.
Instead of focusing on creating good stories that fit the universes that she’s now in charge of, she’s hyper-focused on self-inserting her socio-political views and using a galaxy far, far away as a delivery system for her opinions about how the Western world should behave or think about things.
She’s willing to sacrifice anyone at this altar, and that should surprise no one because she sacrificed Star Wars and Indiana Jones on it already. Kennedy will attack and destroy anyone in her way, whether it’s an actress like Carano, or you, a person who loved Star Wars once upon a time but walked away because of Kennedy repeatedly forcing herself on the audience through the franchise.
If Disney wants to recover Star Wars, step one will be getting rid of Kathleen Kennedy who has repeatedly proven she’s not just a failure, but a person who despises her own audience to the point where she’s willing to attack them in the open. Her leadership has been so destructive that she became fodder for a South Park episode.
It’s time for Kennedy to go, and moreover, it’s past time for people like the fans and Carano to get some justice for the death of a beloved, multi-generational brand.
Bring Star Wars back.
