Hollywood actress Gina Carano of “Star Wars” has shown her ability to defend herself, particularly regarding her views against COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
In response to a Star Wars fan podcast reposting her comments about a “South Park” special that criticized Disney and LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy, Carano engaged in a heated exchange on an online forum.
She criticized Kennedy and Disney for their leadership and their attempts to silence criticism. (Trending: Donald Trump Is A ‘Cockroach’ That Just Won’t Go Away)
Gina Carano played a fan-favorite Star Wars character on The Mandalorian until she was abruptly fired by Lucasfilm/Disney in 2021 after a tweet questioning the efficacy of COVID vaccines.

Carano also revealed that she was asked by Disney to unfollow certain accounts that spoke negatively about Kennedy.
“Do you always call a woman crazy just because she has more first hand experience than you & says something you don’t like or understand?” Carano said. “Bit misogynistic don’t ya think. Tsk tsk.
“Curious if your overlords pay you or do y’all just go ahead & shove your whole head straight up their a** for free? I’m guessing for free. Might want to come out for some fresh air,” she added.
“For some added context, not just for you but for the people reading, one of the things your overlords asked me to do was to unfollow certain accounts because they ‘said bad thing about Kathleen Kennedy,’” Carano said. “That was a huge red flag for me.”

“If you are a proper good leader you learn how to embrace & communicate, not dictate & silence & demand your actors & directors unfollow & shame more than half of your fan base & the people who have stuck with the franchise for decades,” Carano chastised. “Side note, don’t say ‘The force is female’ & then allow only the men to express their political views online. In fact just drop the ridiculous phrase completely.” (Trending: Joe Biden Historic Take Down of Guns)
“One of the problems your overlords are having now is that they’ve made a lot of people completely stop caring about one of the most beloved franchises in history, all by bullying, pushing aggressive agendas & trying to silence the people criticizing them,” she continued.
“How are they able to tell stories they don’t understand when the ones they identify with are the Empire? They are literally trying to squash the little guys, the rebellion. No wonder the story telling is struggling.”
This incident highlights Disney’s thin-skinned nature and their preference for controlling their stars.
Carano’s response sheds light on the struggles of the Star Wars franchise and the lack of self-reflection from Disney.
