Fans Want Lucy Lawless To Take Over Role of Cara Dune After Gina Carano's Firing
Hours after it was announced that Gina Carano would no longer be part of The Mandalorian and Star Wars franchise, fans have picked their favorite to take over her role – Lucy Lawless.
Carasynthia “Cara” Dune is a former Rebel shock trooper turned mercenary in the popular Disney+ series, who eventually becomes a marshal for the New Republic.
While Gina originated the part, fans on social media are adamant that Lucy would be an even better actor for the role.
Star Wars fans are also suggesting that the franchise write an entirely new character just for Lucy as well.
“I’m 100% on board with @RealLucyLawless joining The SWU! She would be amazing!” one fan wrote in support of the suggestion. “I think I’d rather her be her own new character, though. Let Cara Dune just fade from existence. How about it @Jon_Favreau and @dave_filoni?
#LucyLawlessInStarWars”
Another fan added, “The only acceptable answer to who should now play Cara Dune is Lucy Lawless.”
If you missed it, Gina isn’t the only actor let go over controversy. See who else was here…

@Jon_Favreau If you guys plan on keeping the Cara Dune character around despite recent events, please, please PLEASE consider recasting her as @RealLucyLawless if she’s available!

I can just as easily move on without Cara Dune. It wouldn’t take much.
But if you’re going to recast her, Lucy Lawless gotta be near the top of that list.

I'm torn on that. Cara Dune is an important Star Wars character, but she's now so tainted that creating a new character may be the only way

All I'm saying is Cara Dune COULD be recast with @RealLucyLawless, and I wouldn't bat an eye.

Don't recast Cara Dune with Lucy Lawless. Let Lucy get a new badass Star Wars character she can make her own.

Lucy Lawless would be great on the show but I don't think she needs to be Cara Dune. The loss of Dune as a character won't be anything too significant or noticeable so I feel like it be better to cast Lawless in the show in a similar role but as a new character.

Seeing people suggest recasting Cara Dune with @RealLucyLawless and honestly im 100% for it! Whether she's Cara or a new character i think she would be a great edition to #TheMandalorian.
