There was an outpouring of criticism on Reddit, while Rotten Tomatoes’ audience score currently sits at a paltry 56 percent approval, a stark contrast to the near-universal praise by critics.

Not surprising, however, was the fact that some fans didn’t take to Johnson’s bold new direction. Fans wanted to know: Who are Rey’s parents? What’s the deal with Supreme Leader Snoke? Is Luke Skywalker still the hero we grew up loving? Will the Jedi return to their former glory? Well: Rey’s parents were nobodies, Supreme Leader Snoke was sliced in half before we could get a referral to his great interior decorator, Luke finds the Jedi way to be a hypocritical mess, and Yoda returns as a Force Ghost to destroy the final remnants of the Jedi’s library. Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which Johnson wrote and directed, was saddled with expectations not just because of the mysteries of The Force Awakens, but also due to decades of Star Wars lore. In a show about a science teacher turned drug kingpin - which at one point depicts, in gruesome detail, Walt’s biggest adversary turning into Two-Face - it’s what Johnson doesn’t show that stands out.

Instead of focusing on the brutality of the murder, as you might expect, Johnson’s camera lingers on the anguished expression of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White.

The murder happens at the beginning of the episode, catching viewers off guard, but also causing the death to fester like an open wound for the rest of the hour. Rian Johnson was behind the camera for one of the best episodes of television ever made, Breaking Bad’s “Ozymandias.” The centerpiece of the episode, the death of DEA Agent Hank Schrader, is not just unceremonious - Hank is cut off mid-sentence with a bullet to the head - but unexpected.
