Ok, I'm jumping in here with a couple of points. Mainly, I'm just wanting to get some facts out here rather than make a personal comment.

First, I can understand why Hasbro has stopped the production of Cara Dune figures for the Black Series and Vintage Collection. Lucasfilm may want to recast the character and would rather have figures of the new actress playing Cara Dune on shelves. Even if they don't recast the character, all Star Wars figures celebrate the actors and actresses involved just as much as they celebrate the characters they played. Why celebrate an actress that was recently fired?


Second, her firing wasn't about her personal politics or beliefs. She was fired because she created controversy on 4 (FOUR) separate occasions which fell on Disney and Lucasfilm's respective doorsteps. Every time her tweets made the news, Disney, Star Wars, and/or The Mandalorian was mentioned in connection with her.

John Campea talked about her getting fired on his show a couple of days ago and went into this in more detail but here's a quick summary:
In November Gina tweeted about:
- the election being rigged
- the pandemic being a hoax
- mocking the transgender community

With the first two tweets, Disney reached out to her agency reps and asked her to stop. After the third tweet, they had a meeting with her and told her directly that she was causing trouble for them and that she had to stop. Her recent tweet that got her fired is simply the straw that broke the camel's back.


As for Chris Pratt, there's no reason for him to be fired since he doesn't create any controversy for Disney or Marvel. His twitter feed is primarily filled with posts that promote charities and movies that he's involved with. The few personal tweets he puts out are harmless.
