There is a "grandfather paradox" inherent to many stories about time travel. When Young Joe "closes his loop" by killing himself, Old Joe never existed, so he can't be sent back in time. Young Joe does this so that Cid never sees Sara killed, so Cid doesn't become the Rainmaker. This would undo all events directly involving Old Joe in the movie's present: the damage to Sara's farm, Abe and the Gat Men being killed (They'd all be alive again.), Cid's cheek would never have been injured by Old Joe's bullet, and the gold bars wouldn't be lying on Sara's farm, etc. In fact, Young Joe would never have met Old Joe at the restaurant and never would have gotten the map that led him to Sara's farm, so he'd never have met Sara and Cid. Young Joe would never have learned that Cid would become the Rainmaker, nor that Joe's older self would be responsible. This means Young Joe would never have killed himself in the first place; he'd move to China for retirement, grow into Old Joe, and the "loop" would begin all over again. In Looper, this is not necessarily a plot hole. When Young Joe is first seen falling from the fire escape, the film cuts straight back to the field where is he is supposed to kill his older self to close the loop, and he does so. At that point of the film, the implication appears to be that Joe dies in the fall, so his future is changed and Old Joe never escapes and the just-seen events never happen. It turns out that he didn't die in the fall, but he does die later. The whole thing is intended to be circular; i.e., a loop.
