Although Gina Carano had popped up in blockbuster movies like Fast & Furious 6 and Deadpool, playing Cara Dune in The Mandalorian marked her most high-profile role yet.
Cara returned for the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season 1, and stuck around as a recurring character in Season 2, during which time she not only helped Mando out of a few more jams, but also started working as a Marshal for the New Republic.
A former Rebel shock trooper who hailed from Alderaan and became a mercenary after the destruction of the second Death Star, Cara first crossed paths with Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin in the Season 1 episode “Chapter 4: Sanctuary,” and while they didn’t immediately get off on the right foot, they eventually became allies.
