The award-winning novelist creates a fictional affair for Lucille Ball, whose '50s sitcom "I Love Lucy" made her an indelible figure in America's pop culture landscape.
While Gina originated the part, fans on social media are adamant that
Lucy would be an even better actor for the role.
Star Wars fans are also suggesting that the franchise write an entirely new character just for
Lucy as well.
“I’m 100% on board with @RealLucyLawless joining The SWU! She would be amazing!” one fan wrote in support of the suggestion. “I think I’d rather her be her own new character, though. Let Cara Dune just fade from existence. How about it @Jon Favreau and @dave filoni?

Another fan added, “The only acceptable answer to who should now play Cara Dune is Lucy Lawless.”
