The Mandalorian Carasynthia Dune (Spoilers)

ok

 

@DarthRamRod

There's no issue in regards to discussing a recast for Cara Dune, but lets keep the cancel culture out of this thread. We've already dropped a couple of warnings on previous pages about it. And the thread has been locked because of it too.

 

I just don’t think the character is essential enough to the series to make recasting her worth the effort anyway. She played her part in the story’s development through the first two seasons, but it seems like it would be easy to just not have her around anymore going forward. She could just be off doing other things, without an explanation required, and their paths don’t cross again.

 

@DarthRamRod if you want to discuss cancel culture there is a thread for it in the JCC.

 

Yah that's the thing, they were kinda stretching it including her again in S2, especially when it was "lets pick up a random planet marshal for our Mission: Impossible to raid Gideon's ship". Whole big ole galaxy and all that jazz.

We still need the plot to bend over backwards to include Greef, though. Freakin' Carl Weathers! Heck, how about Mando has to cart around Greef in S3 because reasons.

 

Season 2 kind of taught us that "the squad" was going to vary by episode and wouldn't always be who we expected. Like, we sort of expected the last few episodes to be "building a team", a Magnificent Seven thing that started with Boba and Fennec and then added Mayfeld and would inevitably include Greef... but Mayfeld was a one-and-done, Greef didn't come back, we picked Bo and Koska and Boba bailed before stuff really went down. I think it's part of the show's schtick, especially with its tight ship where spoilers are concerned, that you can't count on the guest cast. Aside from Bo, the entire rest of the guest cast could be gone next year, or any number of them from Frog Lady to The Paz Vizla might show back up... point being, if a character never shows back up, it's generally not even worth mentioning.

 

I don't think the character should be punished for the sins of the "actress."

However, if they do decide to kill Cara off, they should have her take part in an insurrection against the New Republic. Her PTSD -- and lack of critical thinking skills -- makes her choose fascism over democracy. They can also say she caught rabies and dementia from her squirrel, the one she rescued, and then Din and Greef have to take her and the critter out.

Now, whoever they replace her with, whether Cara or a "Cara B," I hope this time they find someone who can move their face a bit to imitate real human "emotions." If not, perhaps Cara could be revealed to be a droid.

In fact, that would be a great solution. After Cara sees Din remove his helmet, she decides to remove her artificial skin. Then we can keep Cara around as the new droid sidekick.

 

I'm still hoping we'll see the purple Twi'lek and Clancy Brown's Devaronian again.

 

Yeah, I liked them more than Mayfeld in that episode, although Mayfeld was awesome in his return performance.

 

Book of Fan Service comes out in October, so that would have filming for Mandalorian season 3 starting around that time. I over-shot a couple of months.

 

The Boba Fett show comes out in December, not October. And there is also zero connection between the release date of that show and the time at which they could start shooting The Mandalorian again. If they are using the same studio / stages to shoot, they can start doing the latter as soon as they have finished shooting the former. Any following post-production work has no effect on that at all.

 

I mean am not a huge Boba Fett fan either, give me Cad bane and Embo. But i think this show can give us alook inside the criminal underworld post ROTJ, the hutts, the black sun, the pykes and Crimson Dawn, who runs them now and how did they get weakened pre-TFA. More legendary bounty hunters and ndew ones. Could we get a post Maul storyline with Taloon like GL wanted, adark side user trained by the one sith turned crime lord.

 

I do have some perplexity about their choice of making two shows about a bounty hunter in armor right in the same period, but I won't judge before I see .

 

Well it looks like Mandalorian will now take front center with Mandalorians and Mandalore. probaly need to take out huge fleets of imperials.

 

I mean, of course they'll do their best to make the two shows different enough, but it remains a rather unusual marketing strategy.

It's kind of like if Peter Jackson started advertising The Hobbit while the third movie of LoTR was about to come out. It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but definitely unusual.

 

Yeah, I checked a bit ago and techradar or something like that said season 3 starts production in April. I have no idea how reliable that site is. If that is the case then Cara probably wasn't going to be in it anyway.

 

Without knowing anything about Cara's backstory I feel like a prequel series would be the favourable way to go at this point.

Maybe we'll see the story of young Cara explored in a show about Leia's early days (perhaps played by Millie Bobby Brown). Age-wise she would fit the archtype of an older rowdy sister or the "bad girl" your royal parents wouldn't allow you to play with. Or perhaps she trains Leia in combat. The destruction of Alderaan would factor into a later point of the show for which a recast of Cara could be introduced (or if Gina doesn't continue to burn all her bridges, a reintroduction).

 

Cara Dune is wiped from the history books.

 

Fixed.

 

@Darth Chiznuk
For the nerds they might be wildly different people but for the general public they're pretty much the same character.

 

No she isn't. Removed.

This is hardly the first time a character falls be the wayside due to an actors behaviour. Doesn't somehow erase the character from existance. If they somehow started to remove her from existing footage, then you would have a point. But that isn't going to happen,so she isn't being erased. They just won't use this character anymore (for the forseeable future), and that is something entirely different than erasing it.
