Gina Carano‘s firing from The Mandalorian triggered a lawsuit in 2024, and years later, she and Disney have finally reached a settlement. But why did Disney fire her, and how did the situation escalate into a high-profile lawsuit backed by Elon Musk?

Gina Carano had sued Disney and Lucasfilm for wrongful termination after she was fired in 2021 - following a social media post in which the actress compared being a Republican to being a Jew during the Holocaust.

The actress accused the entertainment giant of discriminating against her for voicing certain opinions on hot-button issues.
