It’s a Salt Lake City, Utah-based news organization. Reliable news site, but this isn’t really a news article. It’s a fluff/gossip type piece meant to get clicks. I worked there earlier this year. The article is the same kind of speculation that had people wondering at a Boba Fett spin-off or Rey being a Kenobi. Not really much anything other than feeding the entertainment algorithm.

Really? with all the potential spin offs they could have or actually have setup here, they're looking at this? Don't think there's enough to the character or her acting ability to make a full on show about her. Not saying it's bad, but not lead quality.
Hell, Greef as someone running bounties, etc would work and Carl Weathers is a better actor
Boba fett spin off
Ahsoka spin off
Bo-Katan
I'm sure others could come up with more legit one's as well.
Disney could announce new ‘Star Wars’ project with Gina Carano this week
A new report suggests Disney will be announcing new ‘Star Wars’ projects. Gina Carano’s spinoff might be in the works.www.deseret.com
A possible Gina Carano spin-off, yay or nay?
I'd say YAY!
I am not making this up. I had a dream last night (PG rated, actually G rated) that she and I were dating and I told her I loved her. She said, "please don't say that unless you mean it." I told her I meant it and and we went about our day. Then I suddenly remembered I was married and woke up. Totally true story.
It was weird as she was super sweet yet I was very aware my girlfriend could beat the crap out of me and I was okay with it.
BTW a Gina series, hopefully not always taking place in a crappy part of the universe, would rock!!!!
But I still like my Gina, Ahsoka, Bo, Charlie's Angels type show.
Although I also like Gina and Mando hooking up and she is always with him as well.
If you don't love Gina it's totally cool. You will find the right guy someday.
Oh come on,....that was funny.

Mmmmmm... no. No, not really. Just to catch you up on the last quarter-century of societal progress, that sorta thing really isn't cool any more. Some time back, in some other thread, someone was rolling their eyes at the notion of "microaggressions". That's one, right there. No matter which way one looks at your comment. I thought about not saying anything, but that's how such things persist.If you don't love Gina it's totally cool. You will find the right guy someday.

For me, if such a show happens, I honestly will have to judge it on its merits. It's not an auto-watch for me, as once it might've been. Due to recent actions and comments, Gina has slid over to Tom Cruise territory with me. I can't condone her as a person, but I like her work and watch it. Which makes me sad.
ETA: alienscollection.com, too soon.
Also, the figure isn't accurate -- that rifle was on the ship.

Seriously, get over yourself.
Comedy is in serious danger as you can't say anything funny without somebody whining that they are offended.
All kinds of crap offends me here but I don't feel the need to comment on it all.

Implying someone is gay if they're not head-over-heels about Gina isn't comedy. Or funny. Sorry. Some of us straight guys have different tastes. Or, alternatively, it could be implied that it was addressing straight women, who wouldn't be interested in Gina, either. But evoking the "find yourself a good man" trope is no better. I pray at the altar of Mel Brooks. "Either everything is sacred or nothing is." All well and good. But there's a difference between poking society in places where it's uncomfortable, and flogging obsolete lowbrow "humor" at someone's expense.
You didn't offend me. Just pointing out a little "not cool, bro" thing, so you may be more aware of it in the future. You're welcome to keep saying things like that. For all I know, it's totally fine among your friends or local environment. The internet isn't one's local environment, though, and the same things may not fly. What you take offense at is your business, and whether you speak up -- or not -- is up to you. I choose not to stay silent. "Silence always helps the oppressor, never the oppressed."

You would have needed to have said something funny first, then.
In the interest of knowledge I asked three friends of mine who are gay and they thought it was funny as hell. Two are a couple and one does not know the other two. They all loved it and said it was not a problem.
Plus who cares. Good God we all need to get over ourselves.
Okay someone's gonna complain so let me mention.
Gina is a goddess.
Mando rules, minus his dumb choices.
And if they kill off Boba any good will they have built up will be gone.

You’re both pretty! Now can we get back talking about how awesome Mando is and how much he sucks?
Fair. I asked a male gay friend if I was overreacting and got a shrug. "I don't know. It's wrong, and we shouldn't stand for it, but we've lived with this **** since middle school, and have just gotten so used to it..." Basically, it makes him roll his shoulders uncomfortably, but he's been doing that at that sort of thing for decades and hardly notices he's doing it any more. That said, he also thinks Gina's gorgeous and was a staunch supporter of hers back when she was struggling. He didn't know that he'd jump the fence for her, but he can recognize her appeal.
I'll just finish this off with a general what to do than what not to do...
