Gina Carano Reacts to Mandalorian Firing: “They Can’t Cancel Us If We Don’t Let Them”
The Manadalorian actress Gina Carano has shared her first public statement since being let go by Lucasfilm earlier this week. Lucasfilm and Carano’s talent agency UTA cut ties with the actress following a series of abhorrent social media postings, including one in which she compared being a Republican today to being Jewish during the Holocaust. Carano, who also previously spread misinformation about voter fraud and mocked individuals who used preferred pronouns, unsurprisingly showed no semblance of contrition in her statement. In fact, she says she’s “only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before.” “I’m sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer ...
System of a Down’s John Dolmayan Unsurprisingly Supports Gina Carano After Mandalorian Firing
In case you’ve been living under a rock this week, actor, Cris Cyborg mauling victim, and social media self-saboteur Gina Carano got fired from her role as Cara Dune on The Mandalorian for comparing the experience of modern conservatives to that of Holocaust victims. Although Disney previously refrained from letting her go for making comments that many considered transphobic, being adamantly anti-mask, or promoting voter fraud conspiracy theories, other conservatives (like Ted Cruz) have come out in support of her. Everyone’s fourth-favorite current member of System of a Down, drummer John Dolmayan, joined in on the fun via Instagram. Of course, Dolmayan (much like his Republican brethren) seems to have missed the part where Carano wasn’t fired for her political beliefs, but...
Gina Carano Fired From The Mandalorian Following “Abhorrent” Social Media Posts
Lucasfilm has cut ties with The Mandalorian actress Gina Carano following a series of “abhorrent and unacceptable” social media postings. Carano had portrayed former Rebel Alliance soldier Cara Dune in the first two seasons of the widely popular Disney Plus series. She had emerged as a fan-favorite on the show, and Lucasfim had even considered a spinoff series starring Carano’s character, according to The Hollywood Reporter. However, in recent months Carano courted controversy for social media posts in which she spread misinformation about voter fraud and mask wearing. She also mocked individuals who used preferred pronouns on social media by listing “beep/bop/boop” in her Twitter bio. More recently, she came under fire for an Instagram post comparing being a ...
The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale Features a Surprising Dubstep Scene
Editor’s Note: This article contains spoilers for the season finale of The Mandalorian Season 2. Alongside its creative storylines, attention to detail, and unbelievable fan-service, one of the highlights of The Mandalorian is its music. Fitting for a show set in the universe of the most iconic sci-fi story ever told, Ludwig Göransson took home an Emmy Award for his work last year. While impressive, it was expected; the Star Wars franchise didn’t become the behemoth it is today through mediocrity. What is surprising, though, is Göransson’s decision to use dubstep in his score for one of the most exciting scenes in the season finale of the second season. Without giving too much away, in a scene featuring the activation of the elite-level villains...
Top 25 TV Shows of 2020
Our Annual Report continues as we reveal the Top 25 TV Shows of 2020. Stay tuned for more awards, lists, and articles in the days and weeks to come about the best music, film, and TV of the year. If you’ve missed any part of our Annual Report, you can check out all the coverage here. It feels strange to say, but television has never felt more important than it did in 2020. With the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic all but trapping us in our homes, the medium has served as an essential, if not comprehensive, escape for viewers worldwide. This notion became clear with Tiger King, a show that nabbed record eyes (or so Netflix says) in the budding days of lockdown. The world became so scary, we looked to a bizarre tale of over-the-top zoo owners and assassination attempts for comfort. With...
Boba Fett Fans Rejoice, Your Fav Star Wars Bounty Hunter Is Getting His Own Disney+ Series
Source: Patrick McMullan / Getty Many Star Wars fans felt for years that Boba Fett didn’t get the respect he deserved. The iconic intergalactic bounty hunter is finally getting his late flowers in the form of his own show. Boba Fett made his triumphant return during The Mandalorian’s epic season 2 that has finally linked this to the Disney+ original series Stars Wars films.

Disney Officially Announces The Book of Boba Fett From Jon Favreau and Robert Rodriguez
Following its surprise reveal at the end of The Mandalorian’s season 2 finale, Disney and Lucasfilm have formally announced production on The Book of Boba Fett, a new Star Wars spinoff series starring Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen. Appearing on Good Morning America on Monday morning, Jon Favreau confirmed that The Book of Boba Fett is separate from The Mandalorian season 3. Favreau will serve as an executive producer on the new series alongside Dave Filoni and Robert Rodriguez, who directed Chapter 14 of The Manalorian and reintroduced Boba Fett to the Star Wars universe.

Favreau said that once they wrap filming on Boba Fett, his team will begin working on the third s...
What’s Next for Star Wars? The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale, Explained
Disney+ just aired the season finale of The Mandalorian’s second season, and what a finale it was. A big old dust-em-up with all manner of returning characters, some big, surprising (and not-so-surprising) cameos from old friends, and the bittersweet resolution of Din’s (Pedro Pascal) budding fatherdom with “the little green guy.” For all its revelations, though, Chapter 16, “The Rescue,” directed by Peyton Reed, highlights the light and dark sides of the show’s sophomore season: it’s got a clear sense of the sandbox it’s playing in, but can’t keep itself from using the same toys over and over again. Read on to learn more. As always, it goes without saying that there are some major, major spoilers ahead. You must be cautious. What’s the Plan for Getting Grogu Back? <img aria-d...
Ahsoka Tano & Rangers of The Republic Getting Their Own ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff Series on Disney+
Source: LucasFilm / Disney Watch ya back Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime! Disney+ is about to put the streaming game in a chokehold something serious. Yesterday (Dec. 10) Disney held their annual Investors Day to talk about their plans moving forward and aside from a slew of new Marvel shows and movies, the house that Mickey Mouse built revealed that they had greenlit some new Star Wars spinoff series centered around fan favorite character, Ahsoka Tano and Rangers of The Republic. According to CBR, Rosario Dawson will be reprising her role as Ahsoka Tano in the new series Ahsoka while the cast for Rangers Of The Republic has yet to be announced. Keep in mind these are just two of the 10 Star Wars spinoff shows that Disney has planned to debut over the coming years with an Obi-Wan Kenob...
Does Mando Still Believe In the Creed? The Mandalorian, Explained
After the absolute barrage of announcements that came out of Disney’s Investor Day yesterday, including the confirmation that 10(!) new Star Wars properties are coming out in the next few years (two Mandalorian spinoffs among them), it feels almost quaint to check back in with what The Mandalorian is up to this week. And yet, Chapter 15, “The Believer”, written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, reminds us why Disney has so much confidence in Star Wars as a brand and a franchise. The penultimate episode of the season can often be a lighter, more disposable affair, setting up chess pieces for a climactic showdown in the finale. Sure, this week does that in spades, but also manages to weave that among a few clever cinematic homages, an incredible return appearance from Bill Burr, ...
Who’s Ahsoka Tano? What’s Baby Yoda’s Real Name? The Mandalorian, Explained
The gift of the Thanksgiving gods smiles upon us this day, as we awaken from our turkey-and-stuffing-induced comas, slide over to Disney+, and find another episode of The Mandalorian awaiting us, “The Jedi”. Finally, after half a season of standalone adventures, we finally make some progress in Din Djarin’s (Pedro Pascal) mission to bring Baby Yoda back to his people, the Jedi. Along the way, we meet yet another old friend from the animated shows, an even older friend from ’80s genre classics, and learn perhaps a bit too much about Mando’s adorable young charge. Let’s go over everything we learned, and a few things non-animated show watchers might not know about this week’s special guest. Of course, it goes without saying that there are some major, major spoilers ahead. You must be ca...
