RUMOR MILL: CARA DUNE Series In The Works For Disney+ Co-Starring Katee Sakhoff's Bo-Katan Kryze

There have been rumblings about Disney+ developing a spinoff series tied to The Mandalorian, and it sounds like it could revolve around Gina Carano's Cara Dune and Katee Sakhoff's Bo-Katan Kryze...

In "Rumor Mill," we share the hard to buy rumours that don't come from reliable sources like the trades, but are still more believable (just) than what you might find on Reddit. 

Originally introduced as a member of Death Watch in The Clone Wars, Bo-Katan Kryze would be redeemed somewhat in Star Wars Rebels when she was deemed worthy of wielding the Darksaber. That weapon is now in the possession of Moff Gideon, so it made sense when we learned that Katee Sakhoff had signed up to play a live-action version of the character in The Mandalorian.

Yesterday, a rumour started doing the rounds that Disney+ is moving forward with a Cara Dune spinoff series via LRM Online, and Kessel Run Transmissions has now weighed in. 

They're claiming that the plan is for Sackhoff to play Kryze in the series, making this a female-led team-up which you have to believe would be a lot of fun. It sounds like the two women really hit it off while shooting season two of The Mandalorian, hence why this spinoff is now in the works. 

It's important to note that nothing has been officially announced at this stage, and this is just a rumour. However, there's definitely something exciting about the prospect of this "team-up," and a lot of directions the characters could be taken in. We don't know when this unnamed series would be set, but it would presumably be after the events of The Mandalorian's second season. 

We'll keep you updated!

I don’t mind rumors so much, but can they be rumors that don’t make me want to cut myself :). Really do want a mando spinoff though: so many great characters they could choose from.

This is the last time I click on a Rumor Mill article, I swear to god.

She can’t act. And she seems like an asshole. Killer combo for a spin-off idea

@tmp3 - I like Carano, and I want to continue to like her, but she does seem to be going down an unnecessarily hostile road. Social media is just bad for some people, they get bombarded with vicious stupid sniping and it just ends up feeding their own worst instincts.

And she can't act. But she can be effective when she's allowed to play herself, instead of generic gruff tough gals.

@Spock0Clock - idk, I think transphobia’s pretty gross considering how marginalized that group is in particular, and she’s just adding more fuel to that fire with her recent antics.
In terms of her acting, I just never found her all that compelling a screen presence. Haywire, Deadpool and Mandalorian were all pretty big projects and she didn’t impress me in any of them.

@tmp3 - Calling what she's done transphobia seems a bit much (if it's just what I've seen). She's definitely not being an ally, but she's just being (as you said) an asshole about it.

But let me be clear, I've said in the past about other actors that I would prefer these studios not build these franchises around assholes, and that applies just as much here. Her behavior does make me less enthusiastic about seeing her (potentially) having a more prominent role in Star Wars.

(Based on what I've seen) I do think she's on that bubble where a little consciousness-raising can give her the nudge to be on the right side of this stuff. And if so, great. People change and grow and that's always a good thing. But if what we've seen is the tip of an asshole iceberg (assberg?), then yeah... that's unsettling.

Wouldn't bo katan be an old woman like rex by the mandalorian era? So either they're going to have to age sackhoff or she's never going to take her helmet off.

@sickboy76 - not necessarily... if Bo Katan was 18 during The Clone Wars, she would’ve been 35 in Rebels, 37 during the battle of Yavin, and 46 during The Mandalorian. Sackoff is 40, so she could in theory play a youthful Bo Katan

Rumour mill...more like REMOVER Mill, for the love of god. These are tiresome

@Cap1 - gotta make articles about something when there is no actual movie or tv news

I guess I would watch a series focusing on the Nite Owls and Cara Dune. Between that and The Mandalorian, I think it's time we visit a live-action Mandalore

I can think of so many Star Wars characters that would make for a better spin off series. IDK why everyone and their uncle is getting a Disney Plus series these days haha

She doesn't really need her own TV show but if it happened I'd watch it.
