Read more about Cara Dune at: Wikipedia Official Site: Disney+ Originals Carasynthia "Cara" Dune is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise who appears in the Disney+ television series The Mandalorian. Portrayed by actress and former mixed martial artist Gina Carano, she is a former Rebel shock trooper turned mercenary who becomes an ally to the title character of the series. The Mandalorian creator and showrunner Jon Favreau created Cara Dune with Carano specifically in mind and did not audition any other actresses for the part. A highly trained and battle-hardened special forces warrior, Cara is skilled in the use of weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, and battle tactics, and has an intense hatred for the Galactic Empire. Carano described the character as a loner who is having trouble readjusting to society following her career as a soldier. Favreau sought to create a strong and independent character, but one different from Princess Leia or other powerful Star Wars female characters. Carano performed many of her own stunts on The Mandalorian. She credits Bryce Dallas Howard, who directed the first episode featuring Cara Dune, with helping Carano find how to best translate the character from the script to the screen. Cara has been received positively by reviews and fans, and has been described as a feminist role model, with some reviewers calling her unique even among the Star Wars franchise's female characters due to her physicality and combat skills.
