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.

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? 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
