A few days ago, former The Mandalorian cast member Gina Carano filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination and wrongful termination regarding her firing from the Star Wars series.
She is seeking compensatory damages and a court order that would make Lucasfilm recast her on the show.
Elon Musk is also backing the actress' lawsuit as part of his promise to shoulder the legal bill of users who claimed that they were discriminated against and fired over their activity on X.
Now, the head of the House of Mouse has reacted to the lawsuit with one simple word.

Bob Iger Briefly Reacts to Gina Carano Lawsuit
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, ahead of the company's recent earnings call, CNBC asked Disney CEO Bob Iger for his thoughts on Carano's lawsuit with Musk's backing.
He simply responded, "None."
It is likely that Iger was advised by Disney's legal team to not publicly comment on the lawsuit which is why he didn't give a full response to the question and he will let the lawyers take the proper course of action for the company.
After filing the suit against the company, Carano posted her statement on X.
"The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time," she said.
"My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me."
In the complaint, Carano alleged that Disney and Lucasfilm harassed and defamed her for refusing to conform to their viewpoints on different issues such as Black Lives Matter, preferred pronouns, and disproven claims of election interference.
She also claimed that Disney required her to meet with a representative of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination and demanded a public apology. When she refused, she was told to meet with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and employees who identify as LGBTQ+.
