Wrong, she's better than most of the women in the sequel trilogy. She is literally the definiion of defying gender stereotypes. But hey can't have freedom of expression you know. God forbid we let people have opinions.

Edit: not to mention her toy sales rivaled even those of Mando.

Nah, her character was pretty insignificant. No one will even notice she’s gone in season three.

She almost sold more toys than Mando.

Stop spreading bullshit

That’s what the right always does when someone gets “canceled”. Sorry. Most people won’t even notice she’s gone.

That’s why you’re getting downvoted. You’re not making sense. Sorry.

Yea, downvoting is also what people do who disagree with you politically. Has nothing to do with “sense.” In fact, much of politics is senseless. To me, the downvotes are inconsequential.

You have ZERO FACTS. Only emotions.

I could say the same for you. Can you prove her character will be missed by a majority of fans? Can you prove that her action figures weren’t purchased more for political reasons than out of appreciation for the character? No, you can’t. And I can’t prove the reverse. Get over it. #fuckyourfeelings

Keep living in your little bubble of lies. Here are facts and sources. Where are your FACTS? I won’t hold my breath. You can’t fact check liberal feelings.

This was BEFORE the political backlash. FYI.

“The ‘Star Wars’ Black [Series] Cara Dune figure was released in 2020 and sold out not long after the inventory was received,” a spokeswoman for BigBadToyStore told The Hollywood Reporter in a Monday email.

  • Her 2020 action figures quickly sold out, and there was actually a Cara Dune-centric spinoff in the cards at Disney+.*

  • Carano’s character on “The Mandalorian” was an instant fan favorite*

Of course she won’t “be missed by a majority of fans.” Her action figure SOLD OUT & she was going to get her own Spin-off show. They only agree on that if they know they will get viewers. More viewers equals more $$$.

Haha. Man, you spent that much time researching and finding links just to try and counter my reply? You must really be emotional about this. Sorry if your conservative feelings are hurt. Gina Carano has been controversial and outspokenly conservative since well before she was fired. The boost in sales would have predated that. When the character is absent from season three, the show won’t miss a beat, and no one will care that her character is gone. Have a good day.

Still ZERO facts from your side. ZERO. Just rainbows & unicorns. 🤣

Thank you for proving my point.

I mean I'm sure they can come up with other cool characters.
