Director JJ Abrams has blasted the trolls who criticised the Star Wars franchise for its focus on female characters in the recently-released The Last Jedi, saying they feel "threatened" by women.
The 51-year-old filmmaker, who helmed The Force Awakens and is on board to direct the Episode IX of the popular sci-fi series, said people today will nitpick anything today, thanks to social media.
"Their problem isn't Star Wars, their problem is being threatened. Star Wars is a big galaxy, and you can sort of find almost anything you want to in Star Wars. If you are someone who feels threatened by women and needs to lash out against them, you can probably find an enemy in Star Wars.
