This post was cited as grounds for her dismissal.

Carano has initiated legal proceedings against Disney and Lucasfilm, filing a lawsuit. She accuses them of discriminatory practices and unjust dismissal, alleging that her departure was due to her expression of conservative viewpoints. Furthermore, she is seeking a legal mandate to compel Lucasfilm to rehire her.
