You can’t recast that character. As much as I disagree with what she said, women who look like bodybuilders and are still that hot don’t grow on trees.

Yes I read about another new series in the works a few months ago. Something like Rangers of the new republic or something similar. Of course we know most people affiliated with the new republic are killed when starkiller base blows up 4-5 planets in Force Awakens.
I guess we have another cgi character then lol.
I would think there are other bodybuilder women that would be interested though. Although finding one that can act may be tough.

Mandalorian takes place before Force Awakens. I would assume Rangers of The New Republic will also be prior to Force Awakens.
Yea, the downside of stuff not being done in order, like knowing Anakin became Darth Vader before seeing Episode I-III.
This logic is astoundingly terrible. You seem to be insinuating that they would/ will lose out financially from parting with Carano. Thus, we can assume it was not a financial decision.
The only option we’re left with them in your scenario is it was a political decision.
The reality is the financial impact of pissing of the left is worse than that of pissing off the right, so it was a financial and political decision. And obviously a double standard to boot given Pascal’s history.
huh, i said it wasn't a political decision.
should i type slower for you?
Maybe pascal stopped the controversial posts when he was told to stop. Take off the tin foil hat. It's not always because they are out to get you.
So a financial decision then? So why post your garbage below?
"If you think it was political then give me a good reason Disney would all of a sudden enter themselves into politics when choosing a side would likely piss off half the population and hurt their bottom line."
I can't help you if you don't see how circular your logic is.
I'm not following you. It seems to me that hickory IS saying it was financial only. I apologize if I'm missing something.
Obviously right?
Because progressives get outraged and will organize boycotts over Conservative viewpoints and Conservatives generally don't care. Thus the need for corporations to keep their employees from expressing "Conservative" viewpoints.
Which is the crux of the problem, although I'm not sure you and Hickory would agree that is a problem.

Fox News fired Shepherd Smith b/c they didn't like what he was saying. Lou Dobbs continued on for a long while.
Disney fired Gina Carano b/c they didn't like what she was saying. Pedro Pascal will continue on (at least until he exposes Disney to a multi billion dollar lawsuit).
The world still turns. Both companies are doing just fine.
"I stuck with it for as long as I could," Smith said. "At some point, I realized I've reached a point of diminishing returns, and I left."
Smith left on his own.
I think it was a failed attempt at saying it's just about her being a republican. Definitely not about her continuing to post stuff after being told to stop....couldn't be that since it would go against the woe is me republican storyline.
Obviously he was at odds with what they were doing on the editorial side, but he left on his own volition and there is no indication he was asked to step down.
If you can't see how that is different from Carano or Megyn Kelly at NBC, well then there's nothing further to talk about really.
Apparently playing the victim card is a conservative viewpoint. Thank you to HDG for clearing that up.
Weak sauce. If you think Conservatives railing against "victim mentality" is a tired trope, you really shouldn't do it yourself.
Are you on the side of standing up for those treated unjustly or are you not?
Usually, capitalists collect money in exchange for provi a product or service.
Trump has broken new ground. He promises nothing, has delivered virtually nothing, is so noncommittal that noone can claim he misled them, and still collects millions from the little guys.
However, some of the big guys are finally on to him:
Donor In Trump's Election 'Fraud' Fight Sues To Snatch Back His $2.5 Million Contribution
Venture capitalist Fred Eshelman blasts group that launched failed court cases that couldn't come up with any evidence of rigged voting.
Maybe look for such women in the world of professional wrestling. They're all acting anyway, right?
Thanks. I thought I was missing something.
The way I see it, and I think you are seeing it the same way, her being let go was a purely financial decision made to protect the bottom-line...like any good business would do in our economy.
Your issue seems to be with the political leanings of a substantial % of the customer base.
Welcome to capitalism, beeyotch. (you, not her).
Isn't wailing about "cancel culture" just another example of the "victim mentality"?

The problem with "cancel culture" or the Carano thing is it's not a representation of the number of people upset, but who's loudest. The financial gain/ loss from keeping Carano is almost certainly negligible.
I don't think either of you truly desired for Carano to lose her job over the tweet, and I don't think Disney is an inherently leftist organization. I think the NYT is likely filled with mostly good, objective journalists.
A loud but unified minority can successfully shift the politics and policies of an organization if the apathetic, ununified majority decides its better to go along that fight a political battle.
It starts with small, innocuous (even virtuous) concessions like celebrating black employees during February, or putting the company logo in a rainbow backdrop during June.
It ends with a company that sells soda pop telling all their white employees they need to "be less white", to the dismay of the majority of white and non-white employees at the company.
Twitter also has the ability to make the few seem like the many, so now the organization faces pressure both internally and externally, from a small few that will likely always find a new thing to be upset about. I fear it's a losing game these organizations are playing and the only logical result is the rise of new organizations who will adhere to neutral policies or embrace opposite policies (Parler). Except when the existing organizations conspire to smother those new organizations in the womb.
I would advise you to watch the Carano interview, this isn't some fire breathing, Rush Limbaugh like character looking to instigate. It's just a nice person who needs to tweet less.
Sounds like capitalism at work, like I said. The Right just doesn't like it when they are the ones who get tossed out for financial reasons. Or are you saying that a company shouldn't be allowed to fire someone who may hurt their bottom line? Your opinion seems naive...capitalism is a cold, heartless master.
BTW, was she fired by Disney or Lucasfilms...or is that the same thing? (honest question).
Disney bought lucasfilm. Not sure if they keep a separate staff for lucasfilm or just use their branding for star wars stuff. I think it is pretty much the same thing.

Capitalism at work is one way to view it, it think it's a little short sighted and lacking context. It's emblematic of a greater culture war that was highlighted by Trump but preceded him and will continue without him.
How it shakes out in the greater corporate, social sphere remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, all it does is sow more division. A backlash of some sorts is gaining steam
Bari Weiss, Megyn Kelly, Shane Gillis, Gina Carano, Chris Harrison, J.K. Rowling, these are decent and talented people who have and will find new avenues of opportunity, so there is your free market/ capitalism working to some extent.
It's the guy working in his cubicle who is worried about being caught listening to the wrong podcast or the college kid afraid to express their opinion in class that is the bigger problem.
I thought your near death experience with a nasty head ache and cough might lead to more profound and thought provoking posts, not the same weak, sarcastic barbs.
I thought.
Right, that’s reserved for liberals...
Yeah, you’ve just got to view him like Rush Limbaugh, a despicable character worthy of no sympathy for any condition that befalls him. Except, without the influence, money, or charitable acts, but an equal or greater amount of hate & vitriol.
Sorry you thought that.
Hell, your whole other name got killed off, and you haven't changed.
