Yeah, it sounds like he doesn't agree with Disney's practices and was getting it off of his chest when he thought that it was safe to do so. Now, Disney has told him to take a leave of absence and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being permanent.

Its about the money at this point. They slandered her by changing the context of what she said to justify them firing her. If she is owed money they should have to pay.

Yeah it's about money for Carano, sure. I mean she got fired for being silly while having a *cake* job (looking at you, Jonathan Majors) and now just wants some of that Mickey Mouse money. Doesn't sound like she's owed anything for her work done, but rather she feels she was discriminated against so she wants Disney to pay.
So nah I don't support Carano or anything. I think she got fired and she's mad, that's all.
I don't think that it's really about the money. The first request in her lawsuit is that she be reinstated. The second is for a judgment stating that her termination was illegal. It isn't until her third request that compensatory damages are asked for. She'll certainly take all of the money that she can get, but I think that she wants vindication more than anything.

She had signed on to do a side series of her character. Now, if she lost acting jobs because she set aside the time required to film it and they paid her to keep her on retainer by justifying the fire allows them not to play a penny. She is out money. Companies do this all the time so they don't have to pay. Now she probably didn't have that many offers but the argument can be made and she deserves to be compensated. Also the defaming aspect of how they justified it.

There is talk that the Old Republic may be turned into a TV series. Usually I would be stoked but I have zero faith in Disney doing it right.

Seems like Ben Mendelsohn has been accidentally confirmed for S2 of Andor. Luna also said quite a few Rogue One characters are in S2 as well.
Andor Season 2 Could Bring Back Ben Mendelsohn's Rogue One Villain
More characters from Rogue One are returning for Star Wars prequel Andor season 2, says Diego Luna

That's actually pretty cool.
They did a good job with the surrounding cast in that film but there wasn't a lot of screentime.
Disney Forced To Reveal Unequal Pay On Star Wars Show ‘The Acolyte’
Documents filed by Disney have revealed that its latest Star Wars spinoff series 'The Acolyte' isn't actually a force for equality despite famously featuring a female-centric cast.

It seems like the (work) force isn't female, after all.

It would be nice to know what job categories the employees were in.
The only clue is this:

Gina Carano Beats Disney’s Move To Kill ‘Mandalorian’ Firing Suit; Now Trial Looms
The ex-MMA fighter is almost certain to be going to trial against Disney in her Elon Musk-backed discrimination lawsuit
deadline.com
Looks like Disney has failed to have the lawsuit dismissed.
Some strong wording from the judge in Carano's favor. The lawsuit is headed to trial.
I assume Disney will try and settle. It will be interesting to see what happens.

It's probably in Disney's best interest to settle this. A Carano win might set some legal precedents that they wouldn't like.
Good point. Even just going to trial, though, opens them up to the process of discovery, which could expose documents, such as e-mails, that they'd rather keep private. It could be embarrassing for them, regardless of who wins.

Gina Carano Calls for Pedro Pascal, Kathleen Kennedy to Testify Over ‘Mandalorian’ Firing
The actress claimed that Disney discriminated against her by turning a blind eye to politically charged posts from her male co-stars.

This could be fun.
Favreau and Chapek could testify also.
Trial is "tentatively" set for Sep 25th 2025.
