Disney has settled a lawsuit with Gina Carano, an actress who was removed from a Star Wars television show after implying that being Republican was comparable to living as a Jew in Nazi Germany.

Ms Carano was removed from The Mandalorian in 2021 for what Disney said were “abhorrent and unacceptable” comments that “denigrated people based on their cultural and religious identities”.

Ms Carano, who also appeared in Marvel’s Deadpool film, hailed news of the settlement, posting on X: “I hope this brings some healing to the force.”

She was removed from the Disney+ streaming show in 2021 after posting on Instagram: “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realise that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbours hate them simply for being Jews.

“How is that any different from hating someone for their political views.”
