Who is Jinky Minus?
Jinky Minus’ name originates from a video shared by TikTok’s @jaycote. The TikToker jokes about Star Wars fan arguments, from diversity in the franchise to the absurd names given to some characters.
When he mentions names, photos flash on the screen to give an idea of what a character would look like. As he said “Jinky Minus,” the screen showed a blue blob-like character.
