The abundance of Star Wars projects, both confirmed and unannounced, leads fans to theorize which filmmakers would be a good fit for the galaxy far, far away, with Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation director Christopher McQuarrie's name often being tossed into the ring. Unfortunately, some negative interactions with the more angry corner of Star Wars fandom seemingly squashed the interest he had in directing a chapter in that franchise.
On the anniversary of The Twilight Zone host Rod Serling's death, McQuarrie shared a tribute to the seminal sci-fi storyteller by praising the ways in which the host injected social commentary into the series' fantastical plots. One user replied to the filmmaker by claiming the "Social Justice Warrior" agenda should be removed from fiction, which inspired The Last Jedi writer/director Rian Johnson to chime in, resulting in a lengthy, and angry, exchange between a variety of users.
