Spoilers The Mandalorian season 2 discussion

https://io9.gizmodo.com/gina-carano-is-no-longer-a-part-of-star-wars-1846244896?rev=1613010609026

Gina Carano, who plays Cara Dune on The Mandalorian, will no longer be on the show.




In a statement obtained by io9, a Lucasfilm spokesperson said the following: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

The news comes after a day in which the hashtag #FireGinaCarano trended on Twitter throughout the day. The night before, the actress shared an anti-Semitic story on her Instagram. It was soon deleted but many fans captured it and shared it on social media.

That, of course, came after months of complaints about Carano’s online presence, including covid denialism, the encouragement of sedition, and transphobia.

Carano’s character, Cara Dune, was one of the main characters on the award-winning Disney+ show. And it was assumed, though never confirmed, that she might play a role in the upcoming Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic show. That, apparently, is not happening anymore. Even if it was.
Never seen the show, but heard about this woman's poisonous spew. Good riddance, indeed.
 
That’s a shame. I liked her.
The chap who plays the lead also got into trouble recently making fun of people who cried in the final episode.

He didn't. That was Pablo Hidalgo and he mocked the Star Wars Theory guy who is part of the more toxic element of the fandom who harasses people, especially women. He had been harassing Hidalgo for months because we was an exec for Lucasfilm and associated with Kathleen Kennedy, who the more sexist element of the toxic fandom (also known as the fandumb) obsess over and fantasize about her getting fired any day now. He didn't get in any trouble for it either, that was just the fantasy of the fandumb. They can only exist in a delusional world now.
 
Wasn’t aware it came from that. I’ve seen a few of his videos and he seemed like a nice enough guy. Heard nothing about harassing women from him
 
Looks like the original post wasn't even mocking him, it was mildly sarcastic. He then claimed it was part of some bullshit war on fans by Lucasfilm while his followers harassed anyone who pointed this out and sent threats to some other YouTubers with similar channels. Then they turned into some stupid shit about how they still hate The Last Jedi. It wasn't even an overreaction, it was manufactured outrage. Fuck him.

Looks like this is his usual behavior. If anyone criticizes him he sends his fans out to harass them. One of them threatened the Eckhart's Ladder guy's kids.

Pablo Hidalgo is an assclown of the first order(no pun intended). I've been hearing pretty terrible things about his behavior and if he's ever let go by Lucasfilm he won't be a loss to the franchise.
 
Yeah, not a fan of Star Wars Theory either. I much prefer the far more positive and inclusive couple behind Star Wars Explained for my Star Wars YouTube viewing. But Pablo Hidalgo isn't all that great, either.

Good riddance to Carano. It should have happened sooner. It's a bummer because Cara is such a cool character, but Carano had to go.
 
Speaking of Pedro, he was just cast as Joel in the Last of Us HBO show.
That’s right. Both leads are from GoT and he is going from looking after Baby Yoda to Ellie.

Pablo was mocking someone who was mocking Star Wars Theory for crying over the Luke scene, but people keep seeing Pablo's the tweet out of context.

It doesn't help that the guy Pablo was responding to set their account to private so the context is completely gone.

He has a very weird relationship with the fans, to the point where he should probably just stay off Twitter completely.

I found some screenshots, it didn't even seem that bad. The fandumb likes to blow things up and play the victim while constantly harassing the cast and behind the scenes people. They recently posted a lot of racist stuff about the woman who hosts a show about the High Republic on the Star Wars YouTube channel.
