    Default TLJ and Rian Johnson's other work

    I've only seen LOOPER and the Breaking Bad episodes. "Looper" of course deals with Bruce Willis's character going to the past, in part, to alter the future by killing a future villain in past, but in many ways, he only makes things worst (a similar situation to Luke/Ben, although without the time travel aspect) From what I've read of his other work, he seems to do a lot of twist endings (although not quite as much as Shalyman)-which is arguably what happened in TLJ with the Luke illusion and the Canto Bight kid being force sensitive.

    Breaking Bad wise, he directed "Fly", an episode which has a polarized opinion of sorts among fans, which deals with Walt and Jessie trying to get rid of a fly that could contaminate the lab. It's a bottle episode, but one that offers some insight into Walt and Jessie's characters. "Fifty-one", his second, is the lowest point of the Skyler character pretty much, and "Ozymandias" is the last episode before the finale, which sees Walt's life and "career" fall apart in spectacular fashion. He didn't write any of the episodes.

    Any other thoughts?

    I can't say I know much about Looper or his Breaking Bad episodes. However I feel the message he intended seem to be the opposite of what people got. A lot of people seem to think that the message is "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to." However I don't think that's what was intended.
