Gina Carano Settles Disney Lawsuit, Thanks Elon Musk for Funding

Gina Carano has settled her wrongful termination lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm regarding her 2021 firing from the Star Wars series "The Mandalorian" after posting controversial right-wing views on social media. Carano publicly thanked Elon Musk for funding her legal battle, describing it as a "Good Samaritan deed" and expressing gratitude for his support without any conditions. The lawsuit, which alleged she was fired for expressing conservative opinions, was dismissed with prejudice, preventing it from being refiled, though a judge still needs to formally finalize the dismissal. Lucasfilm praised Carano's professionalism and kindness during her tenure and expressed interest in potentially working with her again in the future. Carano conveyed optimism about moving forward, emphasizing her continued focus on the arts and thanking her supporters and legal team. The specific details of the settlement remain undisclosed, but all parties characterized the resolution as positive.
