The 'Xena' star revealed she was in talks for a different 'Star Wars' project when the campaign went viral.
The"Xena: Warrior Princess" alum, however, revealed the campaign may have interfered with her talks to be in a different"Star Wars" project.
“Well to be honest with you, I was already in discussions about something on -- it wasn't 'The Mandalorian' -- something Star Wars-affiliated," Lawless toldon Monday."[The fan campaign] might have hurt me in some way, because then [Lucasfilm] couldn't hire me because it would seem to be pandering to … I'm just guessing here, I don't know anything."
She added,"But, in some ways, it can be unhelpful, because if they pander to this fan group, then how are you going to pander to every other fan group, do you know what I mean?" Lawless was also concerned that hiring her as Carano's replacement would be more of a"political" gesture than anything to do with choosing the right actor to fit the role."I haven't thought about that since, so it hasn't given me any pain, but that was my thought at the time, like, ooh, this makes me look like a political appointment, and not an actress."
