Actress Gina Carano has made no signs of changing her opinions after being fired from The Mandalorian. Disney initially fired the actress from further work on the series, other Star Wars properties, and other Disney properties after she’d began posting her controversial opinions on social media. While individuals in that situation have back-tracked in the past in an effort to make amends, it’s clear that Gina Carano is fine where she is. In fact, Gina Carano recently shared her opinions that mask mandates are a form of “tyranny.”
Here’s what Gina Carano specifically said about mask mandates being a form of “tyranny” via her Twitter account:
“If they can arrest you for not wearing a mask & walking outside without permission, they can make up any reason to arrest you. How do these police officers live with implementing tyrannical rule over the people they have vowed to protect. They know it’s wrong. #FreeAustralia”

They know it’s wrong.#FreeAustralia https://t.co/AlyONK9I8p— Gina Carano 🕯 (@ginacarano) September 27, 2021
The video was shared under the implication that a man was being arrested for no other reason than he “wasn’t wearing a face mask.” However, many people – including Gina Carano’s own fans and followers – responded to the post against Carano.
They insisted that the video was shared without context, and further emphasized the reasons the individual was arrested. They’ve insisted that it isn’t a form of tyranny, but rather police responding to violent protestors and keeping the spread of COVID to a minimum.

They are preventing the spread of Covid in their country. If this was implemented here at the beginning, we wouldn't have 600,000 people dead from Covid and hospitals wouldn't be turning people away. It has nothing to do with tyranny.

Gina. I am a big fan. No context to the video. There have been violent protests recently in Aust. I think the balance there is as good as it gets (health vs freedom) until they get their vacc rates up.

This is Antivax propaganda. It's a very CONVENIENT video that only shows the right 2 minutes. You don't send 7 cops just for 1 guy without a mask. He probably did something WAY worst before, but of course we don't get to see it. It doesnt suit your AGENDA!

In any case, it seems likely that we can continue to see Gina Carano post her thoughts on mask-wearing and many other sensitive topics on social media for the time being. What’s more, the actress is also eagerly attempting to move her acting career forward as a way to combat her removal from Disney and to try and further emphasize her beliefs. While it’s currently unclear how these moves will go for the actress, it’ll be interesting to see what happens next.
