“I Love Her”: Star Wars Actress Creates Stir with Bold Statement to Pedro Pascal

Playing in a successful series does not always guarantee a good and long career… Actress Gina Carano, who played Cara Dune in the first season of The Mandalorianlearned it the hard way. In February 2021, she was removed from the Star Wars show after several controversial publications on social networks, even leading to the hashtag “#FireGinaCarano” (“we need to fire Gina Carano”) on Twitter. On her Instagram account, in particular, the actress compared being a Republican in the United States and being Jewish during the Shoah.

Elon Musk's support

“His messages denigrating people, on the basis of their cultural and religious identity, are odious and unacceptable,” slammed a spokesperson for Lucasfilm, the company that manages the Star Wars license on behalf of Disney! A crossing of the desert three years later, Gina Carano finally decided, in February 2024, to file a complaint against the entertainment giant. It is Elon Musk, famous billionaire – who is also no stranger to controversies – who entirely finances the prosecution.

A message for Pedro

All this brings us to today, and more precisely to Gina Carano's interview on Tucker Carlson's show, published on April 12. In this long interview, the actress explains how she felt “hurt” | “stabbed” by Disney, but she also wanted to recall her good understanding with Pedro Pascalan actor that everyone is now chasing and who plays the leading role in The Mandalorian. The following comments are reported to us by our colleagues from HITEK :

Pedro and I reconnected after the death of Carl Weathers (Greef Karga in the Star Wars series, editor's note) […] What I can say is that I love Pedro and he told me one thing. He told me, “You and Carl were protectors.” And it means a lot to me that he remembers me and our time together as a protector – Gina Carano, on the set of Tucker Carlson (2024)

Later in the interview, Gina Carano explains that it is “in her nature” to take care of others. But, in the immediate future, the actress wants (in a very different way) to take care of Disney… The trial between the actress and Disney should not open for a long time. And in the meantime you can find her in two films released in 2022: “Terror on the Prairie” and “My Son Hunter”.
