Disney Omits Gina Carano’s Cara Dune From ‘Mandalorian’ Pinball Game Artwork
Disney/Lucasfilm has revealed a new line of Mandalorian-themed pinball machines from Stern Pinball, but there’s a notable omission: the character Cara Dune, portrayed by Gina Carano.
Carano was fired by Lucasfilm in February after she posted a meme likening today’s hateful social and political divide to the atmosphere in Nazi Germany. A dedicated group of online trolls, who had targeted Carano for months over her conservative and libertarian views, convinced Lucasfilm to cut ties with the actress.
Lucasfilm went even further, canceling merchandise featuring Carano’s Cara Dune character, including action figures.
Now, in a particularly petty swipe, Lucasfilm has omitted Cara Dune from the pinball game’s artwork, which features a number of cast members and characters. While Cara Dune is missing, minor characters who appeared in far fewer episodes are included.
The game features a 3D Grogu that overlooks the board, as well as a model of the Razor Crest. Besides The Mandalorian himself, the game’s artwork includes Boba Fett, Greef Karga (played by Carl Weathers, who provides a speech for the game), Moff Gideon, Kuiil, Fennec Shand, IG-11, Bo-Katan, Ahsoka Tano, and The Armorer. Even Luke Skywalker, who had a much-publicized cameo in the second season finale, is included. But no Cara Dune.
There are three different models of Mandalorian pinball machines (Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition), and Cara Dune is nowhere to be found on any of them, according to photos and video released by Stern Pinball.

Neither Disney, Lucasfilm, Stern Pinball, or Gina Carano have commented on Cara Dune’s omission from the game’s artwork.
