Everyone loves Pedro Pascal, the affection he receives online is immeasurable. However, recently, fans are in an uproar about the firing of Gina Carano by Lucasfilm, and now the attention has turned to The Mandalorian interpreter’s previous tweets about the Holocaust. The actor has made a series of questionable posts and fans are wondering why the star isn’t getting the exact treatment as the Cara Dune actress after past social media posts. Should he be fired?
The vast majority of his followers expressed a positive opinion of his posts, but those on the opposite end of his remarks, who managed to look at one of the memes shared by the actor, we’re not so content. The comparison to Nazis struck a chord and therefore, are bringing back his old posts, declaring equal judgment towards Pedro, as Disney has given Carano.
Gina Carano’s portrayal of Cara Dune was highly applauded by Star Wars fans, despite the fact that her journey with the franchise might have officially come to an end. Lucasfilm senators of the Republic decided to cut her out of her contract. Seemingly, the production company executives have been ready and waiting for the right moment to get rid of Carano, who’s been expressing her socio-political opinions, through social media since last year.
Another post in question by Pascal, written in June 2018, features children in concentration camps, a photograph historically significant from the Holocaust, compares them to the children in detention centers in the US.

The questionable tweet returned from the intestinal depths of the Sarlacc and has once again gone viral. Many fans including politicians have been calling out Lucasfilm for preferring to terminate Carano while retaining Pascal on board, who essentially made the same blunder as the actress.
And thusly, we don’t think even Baby Yoda will be able to help Mando out of this one. People are convinced that Lucasfilm, who is owned by Disney, should send someone to defeat Pascal in battle, strip him of the Darksaber and fire him. The hashtag #FirePedroPascal is trending on Twitter and some fans are livid:
I mean, if Disney is gonna fire Gina Carano for posts comparing political hate speech to Nazi Germany, they should also fire Pedro Pascal for targeted harassment against Senator Ted Cruz. Just saying🤷♂️

@Disney doesn’t like strong women. #HireGinaCarano or #FirePedroPascal people want equality well time to prove it @Disney. @Disney doesn’t like people having different opinions. @Disney is fascist, racist and sexism.

#FirePedroPascal He basically made the same comparison as Gina Carrano. The double standard and hypocrisy is mind blowing. I loved Grogu but I’m done with Disney.

Same Movie as @ginacarano, same analogy, though the pic has the wrong date… I'm told it was 2010 under Obama/Biden.
So does @Disney discriminate against women for doing what their male actors do or is is only discrimination against conservatives? https://t.co/D2q9Vo9GQX— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) February 11, 2021
