The Mandalorian Season 3: Here’s what happened to Gina Carano’s character after the controversy

The Mandalorian is probably the most popular Disney+ series. It was created by Jon Favreau and it is set in the Star Wars universe while we follow the adventures of a bounty hunter named Din Djarin, also known as “The Mandalorian”, while he protects a small child of the same species as the legendary Jedi Master Yoda named Grogu.

After season two concluded in 2020, fans were eager to find out more about what laid ahead for their favorite duo and the wait is finally over. The story continues immediately after the events of The Book of Boba Fett, which established in its final episode the premise for the third installment as Din and Grogu reunited and flew away together in the final scene of the spin-off series.

The premiere answered one of the biggest questions fans had about the new season: the fate of Gina Carano’s character Cara Dune. The actress and Lucasfilm faced huge backlash in 2020 when Carano tweeted some controversial comments regarding politics and the pandemic. The studio quickly took action and decided to cut all ties with the actress and fans were left wondering about her role in the TV series. However, the new season quickly answered this question as it was confirmed that Cara Dune was recruited by New Republic special forces after capturing Moff Gideon.

The Mandalorian Season 3 is available now in the Disney+ app and new episodes will air every Wednesday. It features some familiar and favorite faces: Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze, Amy Sedaris as Peli Motto and of course, Pedro Pascal as Mando. Watch the trailer below:
