Carano did not confirm whether a return for her Star Wars character Cara Dune was part of that conversation, but the suggestion was that such a return was now possible, years after her firing over social media posts Disney previously deemed unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Every Upcoming Star Wars Movie and TV Show<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"From TV shows to brand-new movie sagas, here's every Star Wars movie and TV show that's headed your way at hyperspace speed (and a couple of maybes too).\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Now, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Carano has discussed that conversation further \u2014 and praised both Filoni and Favreau. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I think it was, &#8216;Let&#8217;s touch base,'&#8221; Carano said of the call, confirming it took place back in January of this year. &#8220;Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni were two people that I always respected, and we went through two seasons together, and we had a great relationship. And even during everything that was happening, Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau were never the bad guys to me.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I won&#8217;t really disclose any of that,&#8221; Carano continued, when asked specifically if her return had been discussed, &#8220;but I will say that for me, it was an important conversation. To Zoom, to see each other, to mend whatever, to make sure everybody was good.

There has been no suggestion by Disney that The Mandalorian will now return for future seasons following its leap to the big screen in the upcoming Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. Indeed, the future of Pascal&#8217;s hero seems likely to rest on how well the movie performs at the box office. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Nothing has been heard of Filoni&#8217;s original plan for a big team-up movie to wrap up The Mandalorian&#8217;s era of storytelling in some time, but presumably the hope within Disney is that this year&#8217;s movie does well enough that a follow-up team-up film still makes sense. Certainly, there are plotlines still that need wrapping up (namely, the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn), and characters such as Boba Fett and the cast of Ahsoka that fans would like to see alongside The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda. Perhaps there could be space for Cara Dune here too?<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For now, however, there seemingly remains another sticking point to all of this \u2014 that Carano and Pascal have not spoken in some time. The last time the pair talked, she said, was after the passing of fellow The Mandalorian cast member Carl Weathers back in February 2024. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Me and Pedro don&#8217;t keep in touch,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">On the future of Star Wars, Carano compared the divisive fan opinions on the franchise to that of a wider cultural conflict where &#8220;two extremist sides&#8221; dominate the conversation \u2014 including one that &#8220;really tried to get me canceled, and succeeded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I would really like to see all of this turmoil within the Star Wars fandom kind of come to an end,&#8221; she concluded. &#8220;It just feels like it&#8217;s a never-ending war.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Image credit: Melina Pizano\/Getty Images for Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
