The trend was quickly picked up by other internet users, countering Carano's fans calling for people to stop watching the series after their favorite actress was fired by LucasFilm.

So far, Disney representatives have not said a word about who will play Cara Dune in the next season of The Mandalorian. However, it's doubtful that the producers of the show will decide to quietly remove the character from future episodes. The fact that, according to The Hollywood Reporter, a spin-off series with Dune in the lead role has allegedly been considered shows that the studio is aware of the character's popularity. Shooting on the third season is set to begin in April, so there's not much time left to engage a new actress.
