Gina Carano Fired as Cara Dune in The Mandalorian - What does this mean for The Star Wars TV Future

So big news came out over night that due to some recent controversial comments by actress Gina Carano she has been fired from her role as Cara Dune in The Mandalorian. This is sad news because I thought she was one of the best characters on the show and I am not here to discuss whether this was the right or wrong decision but just what this means for the future of the character and the show. 

This news has been coming for a while

Unfortunately, when I read this news I wasn't that surprised and that is because this has been building for a while. While the second season of the show was airing the pressure was building on Disney to let the actress go because of comments she had made but the show held strong. It just seems the most recent comments were the straw that broke the camel's back and they made this decision. 

Has cost her to be a lead of a new show

It has also cost her the chance to be the main focal point in one of the new shows, probably The Rangers of The New Republic. Reports came out that Disney were set to reveal her as the lead for the show at the announcement event but changed their mind when all the issues came out. 

Will probably see the character killed off screen

It hasn't been confirmed that the character won't be recast but I think it is unlikely that Cara Dune will remain a part of the Star Wars TV universe. That means she has to be written off somehow and usually the easiest option is to kill them off screen and I think this might be the way Disney go, though if they keep her alive it could lead to an eventual return if things can be sorted. 

Will probably mean a rethink about Rangers of The New Republic

As I theorised earlier, I do believe that Cara Dune was supposed to play a large role in The Rangers of The New Republic show but that has had to change. The question is now will a different existing character be dragged across to take her spot or will a new character have to take centre stage, I'm not really fussed either way but it will be interesting either way. 

Overall

Overall, as I said at the top, this news sucks and has robbed us of a great Star Wars character. But this is the situation that we are in and hopefully eventually Carano's career can recover and it doesn't affect the future of Star Wars too much.
