Comparing republicans to Holocaust survivors was definitely going too far. I think they were trying to let it smooth over and then she barfed that take out the other night. 
I’m pretty sure she wasn’t talking about Republicans. They aren’t in control right now.

So who's cool with Pedro being fired? Those of you that are happy that she got fired for stating her political views (albeit rather badly) and making nazi references, should be just as outraged by Pedro and should be fine with his axing.

Maybe, just maybe, we should all be able to state whatever political views we want and not risk losing our jobs. Can we all agree that this should not be a fire-able offense?

Disney:

Tweets about pedophilia- OK!

Tweets about right wing political beliefs- YOURE FIRED
You forgot:

Supporting actor compares political climate in nazi Germany to modern day US, fired.

Lead actor calls half the voting population in US actual nazis and keeps his job.

Neither should be fired to be clear. While every employer has their own discretion to hire and fire who they want whenever they want, they have to have some consistency with their decisions.

I think she has said some other stuff as well prior to this.  So she was likley warned and on thin ice already.

Lots of rumors Pascal won't be asked back.  They have not started shooting yet.  The crew currently working Book of Boba Fett (who also does Mando) isn't sure if Mando 3 is next or one of the announced spin-offs (or if some are shooting simultaneously).

Her other stuff was the twitter weirdo crap they've been harassing her for a year over. They demanded she put pronouns in her bio and BLM in her bio last spring. She refus d and theyve gone after her every day since then. Guess they win.

Hey Guys. If you want to do politics, please start a new thread in the Political Forum on this. 

Please keep this one free of Politics. 

Or we'll move this thread over there. Which I'm assuming most don't want. 
:goodposting:

This is an important discussion to have, in the politics subforum.

So I heard that Cara Dune posted on Spacebook that the Empire was able to rise to power because Wookies were treated like dogs by their neighbors. :oldunsure:

Yeah, I don’t care the political beliefs of the actors or of their bosses. They can hire or fire whoever the hell they want. If the show is good, I will still watch.

It's almost like a free market where business can act as they see fit....  That's probably too political

She literally was the worst actor and character on the show. Buh bye. 
I can't speak to the worst actor part,   but she was definitely not the worst character. That honor goes to every character in the Twilek (sp)  prison break episode from season 1. 

Excluding Bill Burr's character who ended up being solid in season 2.

Finally got around to finishing this series.  I avoided spoilers and had no idea Luke would show up at the end.  That was pretty awesome. 

The show started slow - I thought it would just be Mando flying around solving mysteries and there was no over-arching plot, which is why I kinda lost steam during S1. By the end of S2, it felt like a legit Star Wars movie.  That was great.  Looking forward to more.

3-1 enjoyable but short

Probably asked and answered before. If you can never remove your helmet. How do you clean, shave, cut your hair, etc.?
I know. It's fiction. Just curious if this has ever been addressed in the series, movies, or books.

Just got Disney+ (bundle). Okay to start with this or should I start another series first?
I think Andor is the better show but you can't go wrong with watching Mando 1st. Watch the S1 and S2, then go watch Boba Fet (has some episodes that are very Mando heavy, then S3.
