Should cara dune be recasted or written out?

[Giolon]

I hope she gets recast because TV can use more strong (literally) female characters. Hopefully they could find someone who fits the bill and can turn in a better acting performance. I can see her just being written out bc she's ultimately not that important of a character, but I'd think Disney would want to be able to utilize her in all their various EU media.

I'd love Lucy Lawless to get the part, but she might be considered too old for it now being 14 years older than Carano is. I'd be willing suspend my disbelief just to get her on the cast.

 

[Robaperas]

This is the way.

Write her out, we have far more compelling female characters in The Mandalorian Era now with Fennec Shand, Bo Katan and Koska, Ahsoka, and hopefully Sabine (if she is with Ahsoka at some point).

 

[Deleted member 17676]

Killed off and give Sasha a bigger role.

 

[I Don't Like]

They can have an episode where someone asks what happened to Cara Dune and then Mando says like, "Oh, we found out she's an anti-semite so we don't hang out with her anymore."

 

[Deleted member 16876]

Recast that shit. It would be a good fuck you to her.

Heck, I wouldn't mind them just reshooting her scenes though it is not necessary.

 

[Replicant]

Without even sounding like a dick because she deserves nothing...her character has no more importance to the story. Her arc is done. No need for her at this point.

 

[GungHo]

Replace her with Bill Burr.

 

[hydro94530]

This may be a weird way to look at it but writing the character out feels like she won. The character is cool and we shouldn't allow her to kill it. I think recasting and keeping the character going would be a nice fuck you to that bitch.

Character concept is great. Get a better human being to play her and we're all set here.

 

[Sax]

Write her out. No one is about to miss Classic Star Wars Legend Cara Dune, seriously.

 

[Mesoian]

Recast.

Lucy Lawless.

Let's do it.

 

[oofouchugh]

Recast if there is anything written for the character in the future otherwise who cares.

 

[GSG]

Written out, I hate recasts.

 

[Freshmaker]

A recast would be fun, albeit for entirely-petty reasons.

Nah, just let her go back to being a sheriff and let someone else be the tough-as-nails commando lady

Lucy Lawless.

 

[El-Suave]

That show is not very complex. It relies so much on per episode guest gigs that you can get by a long time just ignoring her. Drop a line that she's been killed when appropriate and that's it.

 

[Fj0823]

 

[JaseMath]

Just write her out. It's not like she's The Oracle from the Matrix movies or something.

 

[TheGhost]

Recast, it will sting her more and no reason to write her out.

 

[Rendering...]

Written out. She's not that special.

The character really isn't cool though to me. Snoozefest everytime she's on screen. Just forget about her and focus on all the other interesting characters that season 2 brought or whatever new ones they want for season 3. No one will legitimately miss that character when thinking about their favorites from Star Wars.

If the character becomes legit good through a recast Gina will always be part of that character. When recapping how it all started she will always be brought up. I would just prefer her character dies or is never mentioned again. Bring another character that fills a similar niche but is also just way better if anything.

This is a good point. I definitely like the idea of forgetting she exists completely.

 

[molnizzle]

Just pretend she was never there. She was a nothing character anyway.

 

[Sobriquet]

Draw a smirk on a piece of wood and see if anybody notices

 

[Raiden]

Write her out, nobody really cares.

 

[TheMadTitan]

Recast her, and then write her out. Double whammy.

 

[Team_Feisar]

Writing her out would be ahem Lawless

 

[Engell]

maybe they could do South Park Chef style send-off

 

[Thequietone]

Don't mention her again and introduce a new character that is similar with a better actress, both morally and talent.

 

[Kaswa101]

I'm okay with this

 

[Soj]

Write her out.

Any actress replacing Carano would be stepping into a shitstorm of toxic crap that they don't deserve.

 

[CreepingFear]

They can pretty much replace her next year with Bo Katan and not miss a beat.

 

[The Gentleman]

I feel like season 2 ended in such a way it wouldn't even be necessary to mention her again. They should just introduce a new character.

 

[Melmer]

I remember all the rumours of the Cara Dune spin off series. Maybe that is actually what this firing is about?

As they could've just quietly never used the character again. But to publicly fire someone? maybe they've got a really good idea for the Cara Dune series that they want to go forward with, and Gina being a piece of shit has been a huge blessing in disguise. As they can now recast with someone who can actual act.

set the series 10 years in the future, which'll help with the recasting as the character has aged a bit and hire Lucy lawless 👍🏻would make a cara dune series a million times more appealing.

gina was so fucking wooden that honestly the cara dune character even after two seasons is still a complete blank slate. Any actor could be recast and make it their own

 

[XaviConcept]

She had like, zero development in season 2 so just use the opportunity to come up with another character to fill the need.

 

[Arex]

I mean if they can recast Han Solo they can recast Cara Dune. But I agree that she's not important enough character that they can just replace her with another character.

 

[sredgrin]

It's a show that features planet hopping, just make a new character.

 

[Jindrax]

I get the idea, but I still don't feel comfortable giving gina that final win

Justice isn't about revenge.

 

[mikeys_legendary]

Write her out.

Make it real disrespectful too.

Mando: I'll need a team.

Greef: You've got one.

Mando: Miggs?

Greef: He's around. If anyone can find him, I'm sure it's you and your old "back from the dead" buddy. He and Fennec are always looking for...more opportunities.

Mando: and Dune?

Greef: She...has some problems she needs to work out for herself. *Deadpan stare at the camera*

 

[FaceHugger]

The character is a pretty stalwart ally at this point and been a part of some of the best episodes. I say recast.

 

[Sanctuary]

She was already a nothing character by a nothing "actor". The only thing Carano was ever any good at was the action scenes.

 

[orava]

Lucy or bust. She also actually deserves her own show. Or even better. Bring her in as a completely new character.

Lucasfilm planned to unveil Gina Carano Disney+ show during December investor's day presentation, but scrapped those plans after her November tweets

Well, that was a close one

I would recast..... they already built the character up. No reason to let Carano ruin it

I'd prefer Zoe Bell but yea either works

 

[JigglesBunny]

A forgettable character portrayed by an actress that deserves to be forgotten. No need to recast, move on.

It's not a rumour, the Cara Dune character was likely to be in the new Rangers of the New Republic show in addition to Mandalorian season 3 most likely. And depending if she went further, then the eventual Thrawn event series. Anyway like it was said before in this thread, her arc is over. Mando has his team of Mandos now and they'll bring in more characters from the cartoon and make more new characters. I dunno they can bring back Prince Xizor and Dash Rendar because why not. Sure Mara Jade too.

 

[rickyson33]

i've never seen the show but in general I always lean towards writing the character out in cases like this

recasts pretty much always just feel super awkward
