Star Wars actor Gina Carano has said she was moved to tears after being given the opportunity to move ahead with her legal case against Disney.On Wednesday (July 24), an LA judge denied Disney’s motion to dismiss her lawsuit, which she filed after being fired from the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian over her social media comments comparing US politics to the Holocaust.US District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett rejected Disney’s claim that it had a “right to dissociate its own artistic message from Carano’s outspoken ‘political beliefs.’”Celebrating the decision, Carano posted on X: “I am moved to tears.

After a brutal 3 1/2 years, I am being given the opportunity to move forward in the court of law before the judge and my peers to clear my name.“I am so grateful for this opportunity.

What happened to me was unacceptable, absurd and abusive, among other things. It should not have happened to me, and it should not happen to anyone else moving forward.

Let it stop here.“I quite literally fought to get to where I got to in my career through intense ups and downs, and I’ll keep up that fight to continue doing what I love.
