'''Jimmy''' is a Producer,<ref name=":0">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw-6w82eB8o Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2949 - Origin Jumpworks]</ref> stunt pilot and driver for the [[Spectrum]] show [[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">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waViZBJL6Xw 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 [[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 [[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 [[Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951]] he is also seen wearing a flight suit, and a [[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 [[Murray Cup]] winner [[Timo Bakshi]] fulfilled the role of pilot on [[Jax McCleary|Jax McCleary's]] former show, [[Galactic Gear]]. Like Jimmy, Bakshi is seen wearing a white [[Odyssey Helmet]] with opaque black visor that is not available in stores.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXwIV7OxtFw 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 [[Bakshi Family]].

== The possibility of two Jimmies ==
[[File:Star Citizen Jimmy.png|thumb|Jimmy on the set of [[The Only Constant]]]]
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.

Following a minor crash, Jimmy is seen polishing one of the Nomads, which has sustained damage to its cockpit canopy. After sharing 'campfire stories', Jax attempts to sleep outside but is awoken by forest noises, and calls to Jimmy for help. After returning to [[New Babbage]], Jax asks Jimmy to finish the show and present the official unveiling of the [[Nomad]] by [[Silas Koerner]], while Jax takes advantage of the VIP lounge open [[:Category:Bars|bar]] before it closes.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2FNBi90l9Q Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2950 - the All New Consolidated Outland Nomad]</ref>

|[[Anvil Aerospace]] [[Spartan]]
|Jimmy is seen welcoming [[Whitley's Guide]] executives aboard the [[Spartan]] with a clipboard, before walking away. It's implied that perhaps he drove the vehicle up to [[Jax McCleary]] in the opening segment. He is then seen piloting an [[Esperia]] [[Talon]], and attacks the [[Spartan]] ostensibly to test its survivability.<ref name=":2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUqhFlcol70 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 [[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" />

|[[Aegis Dynamics]] [[Redeemer]]
|Jimmy cheers on [[Jax McCleary]] from a [[New Babbage]] rooftop as he attempts to recreate the painting [[Tears of Fire (flair)|Tears of Fire]] by dropping paint from a [[Redeemer]] onto a canvas below. Jimmy appears increasingly confused and disappointed as Jax makes several passes in the ship.<ref name=":3">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Jl5WnoVpA Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2951 - Part 2]</ref>
|As Jax calls off the stunt, Jimmy watches his swearing tirade via [[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" />

|[[Crusader Industries]] [[Ares Ion]] and [[Ares Inferno]]
|Jimmy wordlessly introduces the [[Ares Ion]] and [[Ares Inferno]]. The B-Roll on the title credits are all shots of Jimmy, in place of the usual ones of [[Jax McCleary]]. The show is introduced as "[[Whitley's Guide]] with Jimmy". In the hold of am [[M2 Hercules Starlifter]], Jimmy uses a Holoboard to introduce that he will fire increasingly large weapons at a decommissioned [[Idris-M]], the [[UEES Banshee|UEES ''Banshee'']], and cause it to explode. 


He then takes hold of an [[S-38 Pistol]] from off-camera, spins it dramatically on his finger, and takes a running jump from the ship. Firing the pistol has no effect on the ship and causes him to spin. Similarly, rounds from a [[P8-ARM Rifle]] cause him to spin backwards and make no impact on the vessel. Firing a [[Scourge Railgun]] propels Jimmy towards a [[Reliant Mako]] and produces only minor damage to the hull. Finally, Jimmy is seen to fire a [[Nova]]'s main gun, which causes some damage and sends the Nova flying backwards slowly. Jimmy is then seen EVAing from the Nova, and grabbing a camera operator.


Jimmy is then seen piloting an [[Ares Ion]]. He makes two passes of the [[Idris-M]], causing it to explode into several segments. Debris strikes his ship, and he appears to lose control. Moments before colliding with the bow segment of the [[UEES Banshee|UEES ''Banshee'']], Jimmy is saved by the surprise intervention of [[Jax McCleary]] in an [[Ares Inferno]]. Jax references a time that Jimmy saved him in the [[Goss system]].<ref name=":4">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFwUsmEZ4E Star Citizen YouTube Channel: IAE 2951 - Part 3]</ref>
|Several bloopers of his introduction are shown, revealing Jimmy's nervousness. Throughout the segment we see that [[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" />

|[[MISC]] [[Odyssey]]
|[[Jax McCleary]] and Jimmy are shown walking through the [[Tobin Expo Center]] on [[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">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni-Xj71Zmuo 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.


In the [[MISC]] display, Jax tells Jimmy that he needs to do more soul searching. He then speaks excitedly about the possibilities he imagines with the new [[Odyssey]]. Jax announces his plan to take a sabattical in the [[Whitley's Guide]] prototype of the ship, and mentions the [[Pyro system]] as a possible location, much to Jimmy's alarm. Jax tells Jimmy that he wants to 'get his head straight' before the next season, and jokes about whether he will return.


In the final scene, Jax is seen heading towards the [[Stanton - Pyro jump point]] in the [[Odyssey]] while Jimmy mimes "you are crazy" over a video link. Jax tells Jimmy that he will miss him, and moves towards the Jump Point.<ref name=":5" />

== Behind the Scenes ==
[[Jax McCleary]] and the shows he presents clear references to real-world automotive presenter [[wikipedia:Jeremy Clarkson|Jeremy Clarkson]], and his shows [[wikipedia:Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]<ref>"[https://www.topgear.com/car-news/list/ten-things-we-learned-week-31 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 [[wikipedia:The Grand Tour|The Grand Tour]]. Therefore, Jimmy represents the mute helmet-wearing driver of Top Gear, who is called [[wikipedia:The Stig|The Stig]].
