Carl Weathers Passes Away
The legendary Rocky, Predator, and The Mandalorian actor/director was 76.
If he only played Apollo Creed, that would be enough to make Carl Weathers immortal for generations of moviegoers. But he gave us so much more, including the essential Greef Karga in The Mandalorian.
Weathers, forever a member of the Lucasfilm family, died Thursday. He was 76.
Born January 14, 1948, Weathers first played linebacker in the NFL, signing with the Oakland Raiders. He then turned to acting and, in a career that spanned over 50 years, appeared in several classic films and series of various genres. He portrayed the iconic boxer Apollo Creed, heavyweight champion, in the first four Rocky films; over the course of the series, he would evolve from Rocky’s rival to best friend and trainer, creating a beloved character that would spawn the spinoff Creed trilogy. Weathers also starred in 1987’s Predator, 1988’s Action Jackson, and made a memorable comedic turn in 1996’s Happy Gilmore opposite Adam Sandler.
With the launch of The Mandalorian on Disney+, Weathers joined the galaxy far, far away as Greef Karga — an expeditor for the Bounty Hunter Guild who rises to become Magistrate of Nevarro, and ally to the Mandalorian and Grogu. He would receive an Emmy Award nomination for his efforts. In addition, Weathers stepped into the director’s chair for the critically-acclaimed episodes “Chapter 12: The Siege” and "Chapter 20: The Foundling."
“I am heartbroken by this devastating loss," says Jon Favreau, creator of The Mandalorian. "He was a hero from my childhood who I was lucky enough to meet and then had the amazing good fortune to work with. He had the energy and curiosity of a young man paired with the wisdom that his rich life and career afforded him. My heart goes out to his family and countless admirers."
We’ll miss you, Carl. Be peace.
Lolz why would you create beings that would be more powerful than yourself that would be able to use the force in a way you could never have access to?
Like what sense does that make?
Clones in the Prequel trilogy made sense. They had inhibitor chips and didn't have a full life span.
Force Clones is dumb. I thought it was dumb (though better done) in the Force Unleashed games....but the idea of Force Clones in Mando under Moff Gideon's "control" was dumb as fuck....
Like what is he going to do if they said "naw....we ain't following that order."
Well that was real sweet and kind Gina.
Carl and Pedro tried to convince her to talk that way after the controversy before she was fired.
Oh well
Oh well
I hope she wins that case. She’s a dummy but Disney did her wrong.
Elon Musk is paying her legal billsI hope she wins that case. She’s a dummy but Disney did her wrong.
Like I said, she's dumb for continuing to egg the LGBT Mafia on...but Disney also succumbed to the LGBT Mafia and fired her.I don't know about that
Tripling down when you they gave multiple outs?
You wanted to play them dumb games and win stupid prizes.
And she been exposing herself ever since.

I don't think she was fired for her views on masks/COVID etc.... it was the Tranny brigade that pushed Disney to fire her when she wouldn't use a pronoun.
I hope Disney loses this just because of how they shitted on Star Wars.
Fuck them.

Kennedy violated Cali EEOC / Department of Fair Employment and Housing regulations by putting out a press release without notifying Carrano or her reps of the termination
been waiting for her to file since 2021
there is a long list of things that Kennedy should have been fired for - from an embarrassing lawsuit over stiffing a producer to her decision to not reshoot Last Jedi after Carrie Fisher diedI DID NOT KNOW that.
That to me should get Kennedy terminated
Period.
