Mandalorian Lawsuit: How Gina Carano, Disney Are Battling In Court
A federal judge has signaled that Gina Carano s lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm over her termination from The Mandalorian will be allowed to proceed as the court considers whether the First Amendment allows private companies to sever ties with employees who publicly clash with their values.
U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett on Wednesday pushed back on arguments from Disney lawyer Daniel Petrocelli, who argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed because the company has the right not to associate with a high-profile performer on a high-profile show who s imbuing the Star Wars series with views it disagrees with that could turn fans away from the show.
