Director Christopher McQuarrie has said that he was an "innocent bystander" who was subjected to social media abuse by die hard fans of the Star Wars franchise.
The 50-year-old director, who is friends with Rian Johnson, was inadvertently dragged into the toxic debate over the franchise's latest film "The Last Jedi" which had left many fans fuming over certain plot points.
Reflecting back on the experience, McQuarrie said, "I can tell you from my limited experience - I got caught up as an innocent bystander in a bunch of 'Star Wars' stuff."
