“It broke my heart”: Gina Carano talks about blackmail by Lucasfilm

Actress Gina Caranowho was kicked out of the series with a scandal “Star Wars: The Mandalorian“(Star Wars: The Mandalorian), talked about the pressure from the side Lucasfilm… In particular, the studio demanded that she publish a public apology for “transphobia” on social networks.

This is about the notorious joke with the pronoun… The actress ridiculed the obsession of activists who indicate in the descriptions of their profiles on social networks how to properly address them (he / she / it / them). In her profile, the model wrote boop / bop / beep (sounds that droids make). For this, “fighters for social justice” accused Carano of “transphobia” and demanded her dismissal.

The incident took place in the fall of 2023. According to the actress, representatives of Lucasfilm prepared an official text for her with an apology and demanded to publish it on their own behalf. Carano refused, self-commenting on the situation.

“I made it clear that I don’t want to have anything to do with bullying the transgender community, and just drew attention to abuses by the mafia, which forced people to insert pronouns in profile descriptions,” the model told the blogger Bari Weiss

Revenge from Lucasfilm was not long in coming. The studio minimized the participation of the actress in the advertising campaign for the second season of “The Mandalorian”. So, in a special showdedicated to promoting merchandise appeared Pedro Pascal, Giancarlo Esposito and Karl Weathers, but not Gina Carano… It is also known that the image of the actress removed on demand Lucasfilm from a poster commissioned by the artist Mike Raats

For the model, such blackmail was a strong blow to her vanity and “broke her heart,” but she decided not to expose her colleagues. This was also the last time Lucasfilm representatives contacted the actress about public statements.

The main absurdity is that the studio did not notify Gina Carano of the dismissal.

“I learned about the dismissal through social networks – like everyone else,” – said the actress.

Previously blogger Daniel Richtman stated that Lucasfilm executives blackmailed Gina Carano by threatening to strip her of her solo spin-off “The Mandalorian” if the actress did not apologize publicly. Sources The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the information, specifying that the company changed plans for the project in November 2023.
