‘Star Wars’ Writes Off Gina Carano ‘Mandalorian’ Character

The Mandalorian season three is here, but Gina Carano isn’t anywhere to be found.

In the premiere episode, Chapter 13: The Apostate, Star Wars character Cara Dune is officially written out of Din Djarin’s (Pedro Pascal) story.

When Din Djarin asks of the whereabouts of New Republic Marshal Cara Dune (Gina Carano), Magistrate Greef Karga (Carl Weathers), leader of the newly re-established Nevarro, explains to Mando that “after she brought in Moff Gideon, she was recruited by Special Forces.”
And that’s all.

Cara Dune is off on an intergalactic adventure through the galaxy of George Lucas.

Every Star Wars fan can rest assured on the future of Dune, as season three clearly shifts its entire focus to Grogu and bounty hunter Din Djarin.

By the end of Chapter 13, Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) shares with Din Djarin that the Mines of Mandalore are located under the Civic Center on Sundari, the domed capital city of Mandalore.

Now, all roads lead to the Mandalorian’s adventure, rather than side character spotlights as seen in previous seasons.
