Lucasfilm’s Co-President and Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni and The Mandalorian’s creator Jon Favreau have had at least one conversation with Gina Carano, over Zoom, following the settlement of her lawsuit against Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Company.
The Mandalorian star was fired after some of her social media posts sparked a controversy in 2021. Since the claims were settled by mutual agreement in 2025 there has been no official announcement regarding a potential return of Carano to the role of Cara Dune in The Mandalorian. During a recent episode of The Ariel Helwani Show on YouTube the actress shared that she had spoken to Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau following the settlement, saying….
“I’ve already had a conversation with Dave Filoni and John Favreau — [they’re] really lovely — after we settled the lawsuit, we got on a Zoom call. It was really nice. Dave Filoni is taking over as the CEO of [Lucasfilm]. And it’s like we didn’t even miss a beat. And John Favreau was really funny. He got on the Zoom, and he’s like, ‘So, where did we leave off?’ And we hadn’t spoke for a while…. They’ve been in that world a long time.”
Nothing else was said, although it seems the call was cordial, and it remains to be seen if Carano will return to Star Wars in the future. Would you like to see Carano return as Cara Dune? Share your thoughts on our social channels.
