The lawsuit, backed by Elon Musk, alleged that Disney and Lucasfilm terminated her for expressing conservative political opinions on social media — views she claimed male actors had expressed without facing similar consequences.

Lucasfilm, the Star Wars production company, released a statement Thursday acknowledging Carano’s contributions.

“She 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,” the spokesperson said.

Details of the settlement were not disclosed, and it is unclear whether Lucasfilm plans to reintroduce Carano’s character, Cara Dune, in future Star Wars projects.

Carano described the resolution as “the best outcome for all parties involved,” thanking Musk for his support and expressing gratitude. “I am humbled and grateful to God for His love and grace in this outcome,” she wrote on X.

I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm @disney @Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved. I hope this brings some healing to the force.

The dispute began in February 2021, when Carano posted messages on social media comparing the treatment of conservatives in the United States to the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany.

In one Instagram post, she wrote: “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors … even by children… How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”

In addition to the Nazi comparison, critics pointed to other posts from Carano that questioned COVID-19 restrictions and expressed skepticism about the 2020 presidential election.

In one tweet, she wrote: “Democratic Government leaders now recommend we all wear blindfolds along with masks so we can’t see what’s really going on.”

Following the backlash, Disney announced that Carano would not return to The Mandalorian. She had appeared in seven episodes across the first two seasons, playing a former Rebel shock trooper turned mercenary allied with lead character Din Djarin, portrayed by Pedro Pascal.

The settlement closes a high-profile dispute that has fueled broader discussions about political speech, workplace consequences, and the entertainment industry’s handling of public controversies.
