Carano was previously accused of mocking trans people in September. After calls for the actress to put her pronouns in her bio in support of the trans community, she wrote "boop/bob/beep."
Carano appeared in three episodes of season one of "The Mandalorian" and is back for season two. It's unclear how involved Carano's character will be in season two, but with the show now airing on a weekly basis, it may be far too late to remove Carano from the show even if Disney wanted to.
However, the actress could be written out of the show for season three if her character survives this season.
