Actor Gina Carano has settled her lawsuit with Disney and Lucasfilm after claiming she was wrongfully dismissed from The Mandalorian for expressing her political opinions.

She was dismissed for 'abhorrent and unacceptable' social media posts including comparing Republicans under Biden to Jews under the Nazis, claims of election fraud and disputing the science behind wearing masks during the COVID 'pandemic'.

Her legal costs were paid for by free-speech advocate Elon Musk.

Lawyer Gene Schaerr, managing partner at Schaerr Jaffe, said at the time: "Disney bullied Ms Carano, trying to force her to conform to their views about cultural and political issues, and when that bullying failed, they fired her.

"Punishing employees for their speech on political or social issues is illegal under California law."

It looks like changed cultural dynamics and the market has talked so a big role might be coming up for Ms Carano.

In response to the settlement, Lucasfilm said in a statement: "Ms Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect.

"With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future."
