Other commentators, such as RMH III, calmly expressed concern at Carano’s apparent lack of concern about the coronavirus outbreak:
Gina, I don’t troll people and I’m not going to give you a shit minute about COVID, but … 350,000 people died of this disease and most of the transmission is from non-symptomatic people. Other countries that closed completely suffered much less than we did.

Damn it. I don’t agree with everything @ginacarano can say, but I absolutely love your character in the Star Wars universe. I’m thinking of going to the Star Wars universe after death. I hope to see Marshall [sic: Marshal] at some point when I’m on Tatooine in my Java form [sic: Jawa] hunting for scrap.

It is not clear whether the poster above spoke of Marshal Cara Dune – who operates in Nevarro – or Marshal Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant) Mos Pelgo who, with the help of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and a Tusken Raider clan, killed a Krayt dragon on Tatooine on The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 1 (“Chapter 9: The Marshal”).
Carano’s future in the Star Wars galaxy is not known at this time. Mandalorian showrunner and creator Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni have not talked about whether it will be cast or not in future seasons of The Mandalorian – Season 3 has been confirmed – or any of its derivatives.
There are rumors that the next New Republic Rangers was written as a Cara Dune spinoff due to its second season story arc revolving around becoming a marshal – but there were also rumors that Disney requested a formal apology from Carano before granting her the show . None of these rumors have been confirmed.
