Disney vs. Gina Carano: The Legal Battle Over Her Mandalorian Firing Heats Up
In case you missed the Twitter storm, The Mandalorian star Gina Carano is taking Disney to court over her controversial firing back in 2021.

But before we dive into that debate, let’s rewind and talk about Sister—a character who’s brought some much-needed inclusivity to the franchise. Who is Sister?
