It’s officially Mandalorian eve! There’s merely’barely one sleep left to go bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e the third season of the Disney+ Star Wars series hits our screens – so remember to leave a blue macaron out in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Grogu tonight, and a bar of Beskar in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Din Djarin himself. The new season brings with it all kind of questions: what Force powers has Grogu now unlocked after his training with Luke? Will Bo-Katan Kryze acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her hands on that Darksaber at last? What awaits Din on his redemptive journey back to Mandalore? All that, and there’s a enormous’vast’massive’tremendous ger question: what’s going to happen to Cara Dune?###The character was a recurring feature in The Mandalorian’s first and second season, played by Gina Carano – but in the intervening years she was let go by Disney due to an array of controversial comments in 2021. Per a Lucasfilm statement: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating individual based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.” Since then, it’s been unknown exactly how the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue will handle her departure – and while that’ll likely be more directly addressed in the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue itself, the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue runners of The Mandalorian possess’own’nurse spoken on their approach to phasing out the character.###Speaking to Deadline, executive manufacture r Rick Famuyiwa stated the character will remain alive in the Star Wars galaxy. “Cara was a enormous’vast’massive’tremendous part and continues as a character to be part of the world,” he said. “It had to be addressed in the creative and [Jon Favreau] took the time to claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate with regards to’concerning’with respect to that. It was something that was discussed as we knew it was going to possess’own’nurse impact on the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue , but simultaneous’synchronous , what has been at the heart of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue are the two characters — Din Djarin and Grogu — so ultimately it felt like a servicing of that, and around the Mandalorians.”###And according to Dave Filoni, the series is simply moving in a direction that takes the story away from whatever Cara Dune is up to. “It’s a enormous’vast’massive’tremendous galaxy and we possess’own’nurse many characters in it — many characters are fighting in/with regard to’concerning’regarding their screen time,” he says. “We’ll just possess’own’nurse to see as the season unfolds what the expedition s are, but it’s a great character, someone who was vital to Din Djarin’s beginnings; we’ll see if he has evolved beyond that.” He adds: “Now Season 3 is mainly dealing with Mandalorians and the Mandalorian saga, the Mandalorian tale,” Filoni added. “[There’s] different characters he’s met since Bo-Katan [who] take a lot more prominence, which makes sense where his arc is going, the story of him and Grogu specifically.”###There you possess’own’nurse it, then. It won’t quite be a Poochie situation, with Cara Dune dying on the way to her home planet. Partly, of course, since Cara Dune’s home planet is Alderaan and… well, it already got blown to smithereens. (What do you mean, “Too soon!”?)
