On March 6, 2021, Uncle Walt’s Insider published an article positing that former The Mandalorian actress Gina Carano was replacing HGTV star Chip Gaines as the head of Walt Disney Imagineering: This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: The satire site's Facebook page carries a similar disclaimer: On Feb. 11, 2021, The Associated Press reported that Carano was fired from her role as Cara Dune on the Disney+ series The Mandalorian. Her departure followed a social media post that likened the experience of Jews during the Holocaust to the U.S. political climate. Lucasfilm said at the time that the company had no plans for her to return to the series in the future. In sum, the story about Gina Carano, Chip Gaines, and Walt Disney Imagineering was labeled as satire. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
