The show\u2019s release date remains unknown, though it has recently generated headlines over the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/2563216\/the-mandalorians-ahsoka-tano-spinoff-is-rumored-to-be-eyeing-a-live-action-ezra-bridger-actor\">rumored<\/a> live-action casting of \u201cAladdin\u201d star Mena Massoud.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2019, a\u00a0transgender man claimed in lawsuit\u00a0filed in a Los Angeles court that Dawson and her family \u201csubjected him to transphobic harassment and violent abuse,\u201d NBC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/feature\/nbc-out\/rosario-dawson-her-family-sued-over-alleged-transphobic-assault-n1069756\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>About a year later, Dawson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2020\/11\/rosario-dawson-dave-filoni-mandalorian-ahsoka-tano-grogu\">spoke<\/a> to Vanity Fair about the \u201cbacklash\u201d she\u2019s faced concerning the suit of the alleged \u201ctransphobic assault.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, firstly, I just want to say I understand\u2026why people were concerned, and are concerned. I would be, too, if I heard some of those claims,\u201d Dawson told the magazine in an interview published in November 2020.\u00a0\u201cBut I mean, as we\u2019re seeing right now in these past months, and just recently actually, the truth is coming out. Every single claim of discrimination has been dismissed by the person who made them, and as you\u2019ve said, the fact that this is coming from someone I\u2019ve known since I was a teenager, the better part of my life, and who my family was trying to help as we have many times in the past, it really just makes me sad. But I still have a great empathy for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason that all of the discrimination claims were dropped is because they didn\u2019t happen,\u201d the \u201cRent\u201d actress said, noting that some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2020\/11\/gina-carano-fan-backlash-transgender-parler-cara-dune-mandalorian-rosario-dawson\">18 of the 20 charges<\/a> had already been voluntarily withdrawn. \u201cI was raised in a very inclusive and loving way, and that\u2019s how I\u2019ve lived my entire life. I\u2019ve always used my voice to fight for, lift up and empower the LGBTQA community, and use my platform to channel trans voices, in fiction and nonfiction work that I\u2019ve produced and directed. So I feel the record is really clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dawson is a left-wing activist who is publicly dating Democratic Sen. Corey Booker (NJ). She\u2019s an advocate for abortion giant Planned Parenthood and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2020\/10\/17\/voto-latino-interview-2020-election-429857\">cofounder<\/a> of the activist group Vote Latino.<\/p>\n<p>Disney+ and Lucas films thus far have stood by Dawson during the backlash, including withstanding a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23FireRosarioDawson&#038;lang=en\">#FireRosarioDawson<\/a> Twitter hashtag. Some users of the hashtag claim the actress is transphobic, citing the lawsuit; others slammed both Dawson and now-fired \u201cMandalorian\u201d actress Gina Carano with the tag.<\/p>\n<p>Carano was notably fired earlier this month from the show over conservative social media posts. Reports indicate Carano was first targeted for firing after she posted \u201cbeep bop boop\u201d in lieu of gender pronouns in her Twitter bio. The actress emphasized online that she wasn\u2019t targeting transgender people, but rather the bullies who force others to adhere to their ideology, specially those pressing Carano to add her pronouns to her bio.<\/p>\n<p>The Geeks + Gamers YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m_5VPFP5Q80\">account<\/a>, which has hundreds of thousands of subscribers, argued this week that Dawson could be the next target of \u201cCancel Culture\u201d now that Social Justice Warriors had successfully launched a campaign for firing Carano.<\/p>\n<p>The account highlighted a Monday post from media outlet Inverse discussing the \u201cAhsoka Problem,\u201d\u00a0detailing Dawson\u2019s potential \u201ctransphobia.\u201d Inverse spoke to Star Wars \u201cStans\u201d (diehard fans of the franchise) about the issue. The Mix <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themix.net\/2021\/02\/star-wars-stans-set-sights-on-rosario-dawson-as-next-potential-target-of-cancel-culture\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>While the bulk of the Inverse article focuses on the events of this past winter that resulted in #FireGinaCarano trending on Twitter, when they finally do get around to talking about Rosario, they point to only a single event as reason behind the calls for her cancellation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Three years ago, a member of the trans community lobbed some hefty allegations against Dawson and her family.
