The Mandalorian is the first live-action series based on the Star Wars saga and one of the first shows to be released on Disney's video on demand streaming service, Disney+. It was released on November 12, 2019, the same day Disney+ was launched.
In February 2020, it was announced by Lucasfilm that conservative actress and former MMA fighter Gina Carano, who played Cara Dune on The Mandalorian, had been fired from the show for an Instagram post where she compared the behaviors of the Nazi Party and their collaborators toward the Jewish people before and during World War II to the actions of the Democrat Party and their brownshirts toward conservatives (or anyone else holding differing views from woke far-leftist orthodoxy) today.[1] Controversially, actor Pedro Pascal, who plays the title character of the Mandalorian and is himself politically leftist, was not fired for making social media posts (which have since been deleted, but were saved via screencaps by other posters to use against Pascal) where he falsely compared supporters of Donald Trump to the Confederacy and the Nazis (ignoring that the Confederacy was a single-party rogue state under Democrat rule and that the Nazis were far-Left); as a result, Lucasfilm and its parent The Walt Disney Company experienced a social media backlash, with the hashtag #CancelDisneyPlus trending heavily in the wake of Lucasfilm's firing of Carano while hypocritically retaining Pascal.
