StarCitizen:Jimmy

Template:Short description Template:Infobox Character
Jimmy is a Producer,<ref name=":0">Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2949 - Origin Jumpworks</ref> stunt pilot and driver for the StarCitizen:Spectrum show StarCitizen:Whitley's Guide. He never removes his helmet on-screen, and is usually presented as mute, but is implied to have provided off-screen dialogue on at least one occasion.<ref name=":1">Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2949 - Exotics</ref> If this voice does belong to Jimmy, then he has a British accent.<ref name=":1" /> Despite his on-screen muteness, Jax appears to understand what he is saying.
He is shown to be a competent pilot, though he is also shown to get into trouble while piloting when he briefly served as the main host of the show for one episode during StarCitizen:Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951.<ref name=":4"/>
Appearance
Jimmy habitually wears a white shirt, thin black tie, black gloves, black leather-effect trousers, and a white StarCitizen:Odyssey Helmet with an opaque black visor which he has apparently owned since childhood.<ref name=":5" /> This model of the helmet is not available elsewhere. During StarCitizen:Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951 he is also seen wearing a flight suit, and a StarCitizen:Crusader Industries winter coat.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /> Jimmy's skin is visible around his neck, revealing that he is white.
Comparison to Timo Bakshi
Two-time StarCitizen:Murray Cup winner StarCitizen:Timo Bakshi fulfilled the role of pilot on Jax McCleary's former show, StarCitizen:Galactic Gear. Like Jimmy, Bakshi is seen wearing a white StarCitizen:Odyssey Helmet with opaque black visor that is not available in stores.<ref>Star Citizen YouTube Channel: Galactic Gear Reviews the Origin M50</ref> Jimmy has owned this model of helmet since childhood,<ref name=":5" /> and is referred to as 'Jimmy' both by his mother and by Jax in behind-the-scenes footage,<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /> confirming that despite superficial similarities of dress and profession, Jimmy and Bakshi are not the same individual. This does not eliminate the possibility that Jimmy or that style of helmet are associated with the StarCitizen:Bakshi Family.
The possibility of two Jimmies
As well as his on-screen appearances, numerous calls and references are made to an off-screen Jimmy, who is on one occasion referred to as a Producer of the show.<ref name=":0" /> While it assumed that there is only one Jimmy, this is not wholly confirmed. It is possible that there is an alternative Producer Jimmy who performs off-screen tasks and has been heard to speak, and an entirely mute on-screen Jimmy who is only the stunt pilot and onetime host.

Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951
The segments for the StarCitizen:Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951 are implied to be included in the broadcast, while other parts are implied to be behind-the-scenes footage.
| Part | Topic | Broadcast Footage | Behind-the-Scenes Footage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace StarCitizen:Spartan | Jimmy is seen welcoming StarCitizen:Whitley's Guide executives aboard the StarCitizen:Spartan with a clipboard, before walking away. It's implied that perhaps he drove the vehicle up to StarCitizen:Jax McCleary in the opening segment. He is then seen piloting an StarCitizen:Esperia StarCitizen:Talon, and attacks the StarCitizen:Spartan ostensibly to test its survivability.<ref name=":2">Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2951 - Part 1</ref> | After one of the executives points out the similarities to Episode 223 of the show, Jax calls Jimmy in the editing bay (inside a StarCitizen:Reliant Mako) where Jimmy compares the footage and appears disappointed and embarrassed. Jimmy finds Jax, who commiserates about being out of ideas for the show. Jimmy gesticulates wildly but seems unable to get his point across to Jax.<ref name=":2" /> |
| 2 | StarCitizen:Aegis Dynamics StarCitizen:Redeemer | Jimmy cheers on StarCitizen:Jax McCleary from a StarCitizen:New Babbage rooftop as he attempts to recreate the painting Tears of Fire by dropping paint from a StarCitizen:Redeemer onto a canvas below. Jimmy appears increasingly confused and disappointed as Jax makes several passes in the ship.<ref name=":3">Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2951 - Part 2</ref> | As Jax calls off the stunt, Jimmy watches his swearing tirade via StarCitizen:MobiGlas. Jimmy appears to attempt to console Jax but is unable to. Jax positions the ship so he can see Jimmy from the cockpit, and tells him that he is quitting, and that Jimmy should host the show. Jimmy appears distraught and appears to plead with Jax to come back.<ref name=":3" /> |
| 3 | StarCitizen:Crusader Industries StarCitizen:Ares Ion and StarCitizen:Ares Inferno | Jimmy wordlessly introduces the StarCitizen:Ares Ion and StarCitizen:Ares Inferno. The B-Roll on the title credits are all shots of Jimmy, in place of the usual ones of StarCitizen:Jax McCleary. The show is introduced as "StarCitizen:Whitley's Guide with Jimmy". In the hold of am StarCitizen:M2 Hercules Starlifter, Jimmy uses a Holoboard to introduce that he will fire increasingly large weapons at a decommissioned StarCitizen:Idris-M, the UEES Banshee, and cause it to explode.
|
Several bloopers of his introduction are shown, revealing Jimmy's nervousness. Throughout the segment we see that StarCitizen:Jax McCleary is observing the footage of Jimmy from within the editing bay, before he realises the danger that Jimmy has placed himself in.<ref name=":4" /> |
| 4 | StarCitizen:MISC StarCitizen:Odyssey | StarCitizen:Jax McCleary and Jimmy are shown walking through the StarCitizen:Tobin Expo Center on StarCitizen:MISC day, discussing the previous segment. The pair appear to be co-hosting. Jax credits Jimmy with reminding him why he got into journalism, while Jimmy taps him on the arm in a friendly and sheepish fashion. A 'best of IAE' montage from across Jax's career plays.<ref name=":5">Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2951 - Part 4</ref> | In the editing bay, the camera pans back to reveal Jax and Jimmy watching the montage together. To Jax's surprise, Jimmy hugs him. Jimmy then shows him a home movie his mother shot when he was a child. It features Jimmy, wearing his trademark helmet and an IAE t-shirt, excitedly visiting the expo, and posing for a picture with a hologram of his 'hero', Jax. The pair share an emotional moment, before leaving with a large bag.

Behind the Scenes
StarCitizen:Jax McCleary and the shows he presents clear references to real-world automotive presenter Jeremy Clarkson, and his shows Top Gear<ref>"Top Gear now reviews spaceships. Well, actually we don’t. Nevertheless, some enterprising geeks behind upcoming PC game Star Citizen have produced Galactic Gear, featuring three scruffy types in an overheated intergalactic shed just off the seventh ring of Saturn opining on what can make the Kessel Run in less than 12 Parsecs. It’s pretty good", Top Gear, 22 Sep 2014</ref> and The Grand Tour. Therefore, Jimmy represents the mute helmet-wearing driver of Top Gear, who is called The Stig.
