Stand-up comedian and The Mandalorian actor Bill Burr opens up about his former costar Gina Carano being fired from the show. The Mandalorian was the first-ever live-action Star Wars series, created by Jon Favreau in 2019. The show stars Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, a Mandalorian bounty hunter who defies orders to save Grogu, or Baby Yoda, which audiences came to call him. The series is peppered with other notable actors, and aside from Burr, The Mandalorian features Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, Ming-Na Wen, Taika Waititi, Nick Nolte, and Carano.
Throughout The Mandalorian's first two seasons, Carano portrayed Cara Dune, a former Alliance shock trooper turned mercenary. Cara aided Din through numerous ordeals, even helping him get Grogu to Luke Skywalker in the season 2 finale. Cara Dune was a fan-favorite character who was intended to get a spinoff series before Carano was fired from the show. Carano's termination stems from social media posts she made, one of which likened the struggle of modern-day Republicans to that of Jewish people during the Holocaust. The posts didn't sit well with Disney, who chose to part ways with the actor.
