A small minority of Star Wars fans also hated Jake Lloyd, sending him death threats, etc., eventually leading to him quitting acting.
It's unfortunate that the actors are taking the brunt of the criticism (though Christensen isn't a good actor, he has taken well to the criticisms), but it doesn't give me much confidence in Episode 8 when the director of TLJ is frequently calling critics Nazis and racists on his twitter when that's not actually why he created a bad movie.
