Knives Out is director Rian Johnson’s first feature film since The Last Jedi, his Star Wars film that drew quite a violent comeback from some of the saga’s fans.
As a result, the Knives Out character was inspired by the vocal fans who took the filmmaker to task on social media, as he confided. USA Today :

Is there anyone on the internet? It doesn’t matter if you made a Star Wars movie, have a YouTube cooking channel, or collect books online, someone is yelling at you.
“We’ve all experienced this game of trolling. It’s almost a byproduct of the social media system. It’s the defects that come out of it. (…) It’s the reality of our online lives, so to speak. It’s there for all to see on the screen.”
Actor Jaden Martell ( this ) plays a certain Jacob Thromb, described by his uncle in the film as “Literally Nazi” and like “Far-Right Troll Stick” by his cousin.
Excerpt from “The Last Jedi”
This is symbolic of the hate the director received from the networks when Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi was released. Many fans then criticized it for undermining many elements of the script installed in the previous opus without trying to add new things to replace them.
Even today, his film is one of the most reprehensible of the galactic saga.
