10 Biggest Behind The Scenes Star Wars Mistakes That Ever Happened

3. Focusing On A Cara Dune Spin-Off - Rangers Of The New Republic

With Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau's unquestionable Mandalorian success was always going to come the potential of numerous spin-offs for those found crossing paths with the likes of Din Djarin and Grogu.

And with Gina Carano's Cara Dune stepping into the role of New Republic Marshal during season two of the worldwide mega hit, it was later noted that Disney had the intentions of putting the former MMA fighter front-and-centre in her own spin-off, with many eventually assuming said show would've been the eventually announced Rangers of the New Republic.

Of course, Carano's firing from Lucasfilm on the back of the star sharing "abhorrent and unacceptable" posts on social media - that suggested being a Republican today was like being Jewish in the Holocaust - quickly put an end to said Cara Dune-starring plans.

But Disney continued to promote an incoming Rangers of the New Republic series until Kathleen Kennedy eventually admitted that the concepts once planned for said show "will figure into future episodes, I'm sure, of the next iteration of The Mandalorian."

Disney clearly had the intention of making Carano one of their Mandalorian corner of the galaxy pillars. But it appears they simply backed the wrong actor for such a pivotal part in their universe, and were forced to salvage their mistake in the aftermath.
