"Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn has blasted the fans of Star Wars franchise for their abusive behaviour and said they should "go to therapy".
The 51-year-old director delivered the stinging critique on Twitter while responding to a report about Ahmed Best, who recently opened up about the backlash he received for playing Jar Jar Binks in the epic sci-fi franchise.
"People need to chill out," Gunn wrote while sharing the report about Best.
In subsequent tweets, Gunn said, "People responding to this post saying, 'Yeah, it wasn't the actor's fault! It was the writer's!' are missing the point. Critique it. Don't like it. But spewing hate and bile at individuals just doing their best to tell a story, even if the story sucks, is lame. Don't watch it!"
