The Star Wars universe welcomed Gina Carano’s Cara Dune in The Mandalorian season one, quickly becoming a fan favorite among many viewers. Soon enough, Cara Dune was a returning character and was even billed her own spin-off series, Rangers of the New Republic.
Playing a significant role in The Mandalorian season two as a Marshal for the New Republic, fans were shocked to learn that Carano wouldn’t be returning for a season three or her own Star Wars series.
Before Carano was let go by Lucasfilm, trending hashtags like #WeLoveCaraDune, #FireGinaCarano, and #IStandWithGinaCarano erupted on Instagram and Twitter.
Though Cara Dune’s presence would no longer be felt in the Skywalker saga, her co-stars and reportedly Jon Favreau himself fought for her Hollywood safety.
Now, after a year of being fired by The Walt Disney Company, Gina Carano is starring in and producing her feature film:

Terror on the Prairie (2022) is just one of two controversial movies that Carano is starring in, with the other being a look into the life of Hunter Biden.
After she departed from Star Wars, Gina Carano shared that she was “bullied” by the media and public alike, but that her Terror on the Prairie project with The Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro will “take down the Death Star.”
Gina Carano’s brand new picture has a current rating of 8.3/10 on IMDb, with the Hallie McAllister actress bringing in immense popularity with recent social media posts and more:

Since Terror on the Prairie is only viewable with a Daily Wire subscription, not every fan can watch the new film, resulting in the absence of a Rotten Tomatoes score.
Nonetheless, this western picture is reportedly a full-blown production with a professional Hollywood crew and everything, harkening towards independent film-making to tell different narratives.

In September 2017, Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy reached out to Jon Favreau for possible ideas for Disney+, for which the company looked to create original content. He expressed interest in doing something with the Mandalorians, having reflected on some concepts he had developed when he first heard that Disney gained control of the franchise. In November, Favreau met with Kennedy and Carrie Beck to pitch his idea for the show. At the meeting, Kennedy told him that Dave Filoni was also interested in telling stories about Mandalorians…
…On August 6, 2018, The New York Times reported that Favreau’s Star Wars series, which would be produced for Disney’s new streaming service, was expected to cost around $100 million for 10 episodes. In an email to The New York Times, Favreau stated that the service would allow for the opportunity to tell stories that go for several chapters. On October 26, 2018, it was reported that the rumored Boba Fett film had been scrapped, with Lucasfilm instead focusing on The Mandalorian. On November 13, 2018, Pedro Pascal was reported to be in negotiations to play the lead role in the series. The next day, Gina Carano was announced to have joined the cast according to Variety. On November 30, Variety again reported that Nick Nolte had been added to the show’s cast.
