Actress Gina Carano, Lucasfilm and its parent company, The Walt Disney Company, have reached an agreement to settle a lawsuit over her 2021 firing from "The Mandalorian."

In the lawsuit, filed in February 2024 in federal court in California, Carano argued that she was wrongfully terminated and discriminated against following controversial posts she made on social media.

Carano was terminated in 2021 following posts on social media where she compared the divided American political climate to Nazi Germany. She was also accused of mocking transgender people and mocking mask-wearing during the COVID pandemic.

"I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm @disney @Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved," Carano said Thursday in a statement. "I hope this brings some healing to the force."
