No Star Wars project in history has ever survived the inevitable touch of controversy, and Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian has proven to be no exception in this regard.
Though in all fairness, it is a bit surprising. After all, in a time when the Mouse House’s Sequel Trilogy has essentially ripped the fandom apart, the live-action Disney+ series has managed to amend the damage to some degree, not just serving as a great Star Wars story, but also a great TV show on its own merits. But in this day and age, you need only make the most minute insensitive comment and the whole of social media will go into a frenzied state of rage and uproar.
That’s basically how it went down with the scandal surrounding Cara Dune actress Gina Carano, who recently came under a lot of fire for her anti-mask posts and claims of election fraud.
