Overview

• Gina Carano sued Disney and Lucasfilm in February 2024, alleging wrongful termination and discrimination over conservative social-media posts that included a Holocaust comparison.
• Disney moved in April 2024 to dismiss the case on First Amendment associational grounds, but a judge denied the motion and allowed the lawsuit to advance toward a September trial date.
• On August 7, 2025, Carano’s attorneys and the studios jointly filed a stipulation to dismiss all claims with prejudice, signaling an end to the year-long litigation.
• Settlement terms were not disclosed, though Lucasfilm said it looks forward to identifying opportunities to work with Carano in the near future.
• Elon Musk backed Carano’s legal fees under his pledge to cover expenses for individuals who face workplace repercussions for social-media speech.
