I haven't seen any other companies that make Starwars stuff release statements saying Lucasfilm told them to stop using Cara Dune.. Hasbro would be wise to release a statement - it's a bad look for them |

I heard somewhere that the reason for the TBS amd TVC Cara Dune being cancelled was because Gina's likeness is no longer owned by Disney and that's why the retro collection figure and the LEGO minifig are still available/being made. I don't know how true that is tho, but it makes sense since it was the actress that was fired not the character

I always assumed any actors/actresses had to sign a merchandising agreement giving the licenser rights to produce merch with there likeness and that extended beyond the life of the property itself being the movie or TV show.

I assume Carano was already paid for her likeness, and they can do anything they want with it - be it figures, posters, clothing, etc. forever... because they own Cara Dune (could be wrong, I'm not pretending to know about these things for a fact - just guessing) They could always make more figures of her without the likeness.. just more of a generalized face sculp. I bet one day Lucasfilm will replace Carano's already filmed scenes digitally.... either with a different actress or just a new CGI face Last edited by Dusty777; 03-09-2021 at 04:27 PM.. |

My understanding is the acting contract usually has the likeness rights built into it.

That's kind of my point. They (Disney) have the rights to her likeness for the Cara Dune character now. It shouldn't matter if she's done with the role or not.
Ford's done with Han Solo, do you think Hasbro or Disney won't keep on producing SW merch with his likeness. If they stopped making her characters toys that's selling well, it must be another reason Hasbro halted the production of the CD merch?

Also, I don't know about her contract specifically, but others do have a provision on their contract that would pay them royalties for merchandise with their likeness. Maybe Disney didn't want to continue paying the royalties if it indeed was in her contract. Last edited by annihilator; 03-10-2021 at 11:49 PM.. |
