Disney and Lucasfilm said Thursday they have settled a lawsuit with actor Gina Carano, who sued the companies last year, alleging she was wrongfully terminated from the Star Wars television series “The Mandalorian” in 2021.

Carano filed a lawsuit in federal court in California in February 202,4, alleging she was fired from her role on the show for voicing right-wing opinions on social media. She claimed she suffered emotional damage and lost millions in income following the termination. She sought a court order that would require Lucasfilm to reinstate her or compensate her at least $75,000.

The terms of the settlement were not immediately disclosed. The Lucasfilm statement said the agreement will “resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies.”
