Overview

• On August 7, 2025, Disney and Lucasfilm filed a joint stipulation to dismiss Gina Carano’s federal suit with prejudice under confidential settlement terms.
• Carano sued in February 2024 for wrongful termination and sex discrimination after her February 2021 firing from The Mandalorian over a social media post comparing political views to Nazi Germany.
• Elon Musk funded Carano’s legal fees through X’s initiative supporting users who claim they faced discrimination over platform activity.
• Lucasfilm praised Carano’s professionalism and respect on set and said it looks forward to identifying opportunities to work together in the near future.
• The settlement follows a July 2024 judge’s denial of Disney’s motion to dismiss, which had allowed Carano’s First Amendment-based claims to proceed toward trial.
