Love that Jenny predicted Rey's backstory in 2017

[@iammehowru]

Has no one watched this since episode 9? Does Jenny remember saying that she would LIKE Rey to be a palpatine?!

[@melissagold2573]

NOOOOO *throws popcorn at the screen* Lol careful what you wish for XD

[@mrneedlemouse6447]

As soon as I heard that I frantically started scrolling down looking for post TROS comments. Lol.

[@bopete3204]

3:42

[@ElPayasoMalo]

She once predicted that on her own channel, but suggested that it would be "stupid" if that actually happened.

[@TS19451]

She even predicted Maul in solo too. She definitely has the force when it comes to predicting left fielders.

[@JerekBilbar]

I was never a screen junkies fan but Jenny is the greatest person on this earth and if they have her, they have me

[@papinkelman7695]

Jerek same

[@belainegibsson.2082]

Jerek I had no idea they were a thing until one of the Millennial Falcon episodes showed up in my feed.

[@JerekBilbar]

SerHaHa ok that's creepy

[@althaz]

I'm a long-time Screen Junkies fan (Movie Fights is awesome, also Dan's Lab and Honest Trailers). I am very grateful that they have Jenny, because it means that I have now discovered her. She is wonderful :).

[@eirik.loevhaug]

Right on, finally Chobot has a challenger on beeing the coolest girl on youtube. She´s even meaner than her already...........

[@noahr4951]

Holy shit, Jenny called it way back in 2017 with Rey being a Palpatine.

[@Swenglish]

Midichlorians is just something Qui-Gon's mother made up to make him eat his veggies, and Yoda just doesn't have the heart to tell him.

[@kelwilli827]

Who knew you'd guess the plot of the Rise of Skywalker so nonchalantly?

[@traviswladkowski1989]

Jenny is easily my favorite person on screen junkies news right now. Her dry humor & awkwardness is as hysterical as she is adorable.

[@Chelsea-ze9yz]

it is insane how many things jenny has guessed just by joking around

[@Magmafrost13]

"it'd be cool if she was a Palpatine" Oh no Jenny what did you do

[@KRFournier]

Jenny doesn't like Rogue One. I guess that makes her a Rogue Too.

[@jesseduran7353]

Wow, Jenny's Natalie Portman impression is spot on!

[@espeh75]

Her Hayden Christensen was excellent, too, in the Disney Crossovers episode. She should re-dub the films with listenable dialogue.

[@ryker4455]

She's great.

[@HappyNBoy]

It was shockingly accurate! I couldn't believe it, honestly.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

I'm so glad I found this show! I'm going to share it with all my friends, once I discover what their new contact information is.

[@felipest6926]

"have you seen rogue one?" "yes" "I'm so sorry"

[@jjlloyd8017]

Does Jenny read the comments section? If she does, maybe that's why she seems so uncomfortable...

[@sosahaus5999]

I love that Jenny just disagrees with everything

[@silasnichols7593]

3:44 predicted years before. Dang.

[@googleacount3611]

FR

[@macjeffrey3794]

There should be a scene in The Last Jedi where Luke and Rey are training and she goes "so aren't you going to take my midichlorian count?" and then Luke is like "pshh, midichlorians are a myth, who told you about that??" that would totally be an awesome scene...

[@kailomonkey]

That would be a great reflection of our grasp of science in reality, how it is only our best model until it's replaced by the new best model. They could twist it around that medichlorians actually indicate something completely different and the spectrum of force sensitivity is completely upside-down and ability was purely down to confidence, focus and faith in oneself by all the encouragement given through the medichlorian science.

[@TadBigby]

That Padme impression was amazing. #ThunderousApplause

[@PogieJoe]

I subscribe to this channel for this show alone. Never disappointed. Any channel that recognizes Jenny's genius and wit is fine by me.

[@gabrielambriz5640]

Just two people sitting down, casually predicting the plot of the 9th movie, and agreeing that would be cool. Nothing weird.

[@uub-tube]

I agree that Lucas intentionally made the Jedi hypocritical on purpose. Lucas has stated many times that the prequels are the tragedy of Darth Vader.

[@jamesraymor]

Unkar is a word! It's even a place, and a physical object. It's mostly known as a tributary of the Colorado River in Grand canyon, Arizona. This side canyon creates a significant rapid as the creek has washed boulders and gravel into the main channel of the Colorado River. It also refers to layers of rock found there, which make up the lower layers of the grand canyon supergroup and are a key element of the great unconformity.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

How informative! Thanks!

[@lordozmo8967]

I only subscribed to Screen Junkies news for this show. All kneel before the captivating Jenny.

[@rahmed71]

Long time force center listener, first time actually seeing Joseph Scrimshaw :)

[@Raidoven]

i like this guy. he likes the prequels and is so far the only guest that can keep up and competently banter with Jenny's humour!

[@humphreyward1290]

RIP Adam West

[@Ottawa3453]

12:43 - Uncanny Natalie Portman impression! :D

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Spot on as is her Unkar Platt.

[@SoccerBoyAP]

5:35 - would love to see a saber wielding Raathtar vs Grievous 7:32 - only the sith deal in absolutes.... "do or do not, there is no try" - Yoda

[@khandarwilliam5439]

The Deadpan Awakens

[@jobobsurname3842]

has anyone else noticed how girls who use their looks to get views have comment sections full of hate but when girls, like Jenny, use their personalities to get views the comments are full of a bunch of stalker nutjobs saying how beautiful they are...

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Sorry I was a little distracted by the hilarity, of the gorgeous, and brilliantly divine Jenny. You were saying...?

[@jobobsurname3842]

ha ha ha I take it all back you're not creepy at all

[@jobobsurname3842]

Wow, divine is quite an adjective. Is it figurative or do you actually pray to the great Jenny?

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Well first did you mean pray or prey?

[@jobobsurname3842]

How would you prey to her? I don't understand, are you her prey or is she yours?

[@sadcucumber324]

You guys should start linking jenny's shirts theyre always so nice i wish i could buy some

[@AdamDemas]

@3:56 that emperor "do it" was spot on!!!

[@lucasfreire6456]

Man, Jenny is really awesome! Too bad it took me this long to check out this show. Congrats to her and the whole team!

[@SuperFanBrad]

Jenny is funny. And Joseph is the source! He's a 9.5 on the force scale with PitBoss a 10

[@madisonbadger9454]

Joseph is wonderful

[@robkirchhof133]

Oh no. 3:42 oh. NO.

[@bismuthcrystal9658]

3:40 Jenny noooo what did you dooooo?

[@ridddgggedchippes]

Holy god, from the thumbnail, I thought the special guest this episode was Reviewbrah. I almost died.

[@jasonkinzie8835]

I liked the, "does everyone and everything need a light saber" debate. They both made good points so I can't decide.

[@mastermike890]

Jenny, this episode was the empire strikes back of the Screen Junkies Cinematic Universe!

[@guyr3618]

Holy crap that Padme impression was PERFECT!!! Jenny is Padme!

[@hylianhaxorus9689]

You are a very very strange person and I thoroughly enjoy watching you force grown men into submission with a word.

[@not_an_undercover_cop]

Darth Jar Jar Theory that will work: Snoke is a being that inhabits the bodies of other beings. He has existed for thousands of years by possessing other beings and furthering his goal of destroying the light side. He used Jar Jar to manipulate Palpatine after Palpatine "killed" his master, Plagus, who was really Snoke. Snoke himself is simply another being that this entity has possessed. Once Jar Jar being useless to the entity, he imply left him and either possessed Snoke or a different being. Jar Jar was left confused and alone. That's why he's depressed in the comic. He doesn't fully understand what happened. Just that he was the cause of the fall of the Republic.

[@wolfsmith]

This is my canon

[@eirik.loevhaug]

"It´s hard to get a you tube show; no-one can do it."

[@espeh75]

Heaven knows R5-D4 has made some terrible, terrible sacrifices for Star Wars.

[@balethomson3414]

Star Wars Tales reference! Awesome comic.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

A hero among heroes.

[@dustinking2965]

I like the "Padme secretly has multiple husbands" theory. Everyone in Revenge of the Sith is married to Padme. That's what all the lightsaber fights are about. Yoda vs. Palpatine. Windu vs. Palpatine. Kenobi vs. Grievous. Kenobi vs. Anakin. The entire clone army vs. Kenobi. Anakin and the clones murder all the younglings because they know Padme likes them young. There was a scene where Darth Jar-Jar fought Kenobi, but they cut it out.

[@debbiebishop86]

SHE PREDICTED PALPATINE REY?????

[@DanJanTube]

Deadpan humor alert @13:45 "I love having a lot of distracting sound effects when we're talking to guests because usually they say things that aren't that interesting."

[@michellalin3984]

This beats all other star wars theories.

[@joenesvick7043]

A couple of episodes ago, Jenny said Revenge of the Sith was her favorite and seemed annoyed of those who think The Empire Strikes Back is the best. Now she says the prequels are bad. Interesting

[@Huesos138]

Her comment on Revenge was sarcastic. Watch some of her videos on her own channel and you'll learn to tell when she's being serious and when she's not.

[@wilddogspam]

Watch her videos? I usually just rely on not being dumb in order to tell when someone is being sarcastic. Alternatively, a neat trick OP can use is called: not assuming everyone is incredibly stupid. When she says two contradictory things like that and only one of them can be interpreted as sarcasm, that's usually what happened.

[@madcoda]

everything she said is sarcastic

[@joenesvick7043]

Jenny looks a little young to hate the prequels, her generation grew up with them.

[@chronoguy3199]

Even her sarcasm is sarcastic

[@EwanMakeMovies]

The comments section on every Millennial Falcon video makes me wanna carbon freeze myself.

[@rhods23]

5:53 the most unfortunate miming

[@mk6rfc1]

She obviously knew

[@muthavelandez]

Rey's father is Luke. the shocker is when they reveal Leia is her mother. 😱 would explain why she is so powerful.

[@ChelseaColeslaw]

For those asking, she talks about her prediction coming true on her channel

[@Epitecture]

When is the X-Generation-Wing going to stop by?

[@chronicguardian9684]

The whole generation gap thing might put a snag in that plan...

[@chronicguardian9684]

Naw, It's cool. I am a pretty lousy car. I like to think I'm occasionally a pretty decent human being, though.

[@beatrixwickson8477]

Why are prequel apologists so determined to prove the movies aren't bad? I really enjoy watching them, but they are terrible. Just accept that you enjoy something crappy, like McDonald's or Coke. It doesn't make you a bad car.

[@joenesvick7043]

Opinions differ, especially when there's a generational gap. Twilight & The Hunger Games also have fans, some of them hate the prequels. They can honestly say with a straight face that Twilight & Hunger Games are good and the prequels aren't

[@10INTM]

Beatrix Wickson Why don't you accept the subjectivity in such a claim makes such a designation useless, especially given that they did something right to draw in enough people as it did? I say the originals aren't as good because they're overly simplistic, don't explore themes and ideas as deep as those in the prequels, and old people forgive them because they never saw them from a set of fresh eyes after the 80's; you can't _prove_ me wrong.

[@beatrixwickson8477]

10INTM That's the whole point, being a bad film isn't subjective. If the plot doesn't flow, if the characters are two dimensional, if the dialogue is simplistic and lacks subtext if the pacing is bad, these things make a bad film. Whenever people say the Prequels are badly made the counter-claim is "but I enjoyed them and so did lots of people". Are they enjoyable? Well THAT is a subjective claim, but for me, yes I enjoy them very much. But I enjoy them despite being bad films. I must have missed the exploration of deep themes and ideas. I mean there is plenty of great stuff under the surface but it isn't explored. As for nostalgia vision, as a child I didn't think the OT were well made films, they were just good fun. Looking at them critically as an adult is what makes me appreciate them more as works of art. Whereas Superman II and III don't hold up as well. They are just bad movies I loved as a child. If you want to make a case for the PT being good films (rather than just popular, like the Transformers) be my guest, but if you're not already familiar with the common criticisms and can actually address them don't waste your time.

[@10INTM]

Beatrix Wickson Well, I say the movies didn't do any of those things wrong or wrongly enough to make it count as bad. Stop proclaiming you have objectivity on your side. If it was so clear that these movies were bad and did all those things wrong then we'd not be still having this debate over a decade later as to whether or not they were or did. On top of that there was a strong bandwagon of dumping on the sequels so the legitimate prevailing opinion among the dislikers is suspect.

[@beatrixwickson8477]

10INTM The plot is a mess, the characters are paper thin, the dialogue lacks any nuance and there is huge time wasted on actions scenes with no stakes or payoffs only to let the story jump from scene to scene without causality. These aren't my opinions, they are the failings identified by film theorists and professional critics. So that is objective. If I said it has a low score on Rotten Tomatoes then that would be subjective, albeit a good indicator. There is no debate, that would involve engaging with the criticisms and either showing they were false or justifying them, just saying "I can't see anything wrong" isn't a debate and if you can offer anything better then go for it. As for people jumping on a Prequel hating bandwagon, I'm afraid the problems with Phantom Menace were obvious from the start and the bandwagon came after. But sure, some people just love to hate on things, so healthy skepticism is good. That's why the criticisms have to be assessed on merit. With critical thinking. Keeping this simple: if you believe that things like plot structure, dialogue and character development are purely relative and there are no good or bad movies then I guess you've got me. But if you believe that there are good films and bad films then how do you tell one from another? Surely The Godfather is objectively a better film than Pixels? But if I said people just have nostalgia goggles for the Godfather and that I can't see any problems with Pixels all I am doing is showing my lack of understanding of what it means to be a good film. And saying that people just love to hate on Adam Sandler doesn't make Pixels a better crafted story. So as I said in my OP, I enjoy the Prequels! The fight scenes, the costumes, the soundtracks, the environments and basically all of the window dressing is amazing. Just like I enjoy Coke, even though I know that it is basically just sugar, I enjoy it for what it is... a bad drink. Enjoy the Prequels all you want, but don't kid yourself that they aren't bad films.

[@nickhopwood4233]

Wow such a change of heart for jenny

[@beanacomputer]

Read comments expecting people ranting about how Anakin was actually the product of a force experiment conducted by Plagueis and Sidious. Instead I got "Jenny is attractive." Get your priorities straight, people.

[@MrEmpireBuilder0000]

I sense a disturbance in the Force... is that... chemistry? :)

[@JackShipley74]

I saw the prequels in the theater and purchased and watched the DVDs when they came out. I saw Rogue One in the theater and since purchased the BluRays ... but I have yet to rewatch them.

[@benfarrar741]

Elephants do fight using swords. Zoologists call them tusks.

[@uub-tube]

This is the best guest you have had.

[@traviswladkowski1989]

Jenny is one of the funniest people on KZbin right now. She's like a way funnier female version of Steven Wright.

[@traviswladkowski1989]

Your Dad I'm not, but the fact that you're getting upset makes me laugh. She's actually funnier than Steven Wright. He was only funny as the guy on the couch in half baked.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

I never realized the similarities, until now. You're right except that I may be slightly biased about who's funnier due to Jenny being so adorable too. Either way, who cares, love them both.

[@wubranch1]

I love how she hurts people. It takes talent to do that humorously.

[@AndyofCT]

i like this show. It's fun. I'm also glad it's not just a list video. those blow

[@weisenbergphoto]

That R1 joke from Jenny was great!

[@TheM00ndawg]

Ok, so is rd d2 a model number, or a name?

[@DertBagg]

Narrator: It was not cool that she was a Palpatine.

[@vertxxgg]

JENNY is growing more and more beautiful everyday ...she is the future Princess of STAR WARS

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

The padawookie was in the EU books too, he had a naturally occurring red lightsaber crystal

[@itsadinosaurrunaway]

This guy really reminds me of Will Arnett, just trade his star wars obsession with Legos and it's perfect

[@michaelhansen2060]

God damn what a gem she is.

[@lauraliedke6868]

My stomach is sore from laughing so hard at that end bit. First Senetor Amidala goes for the young Anakin, then she’s robbing Chewie’s cradle...LOL

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

She'll be jumping Baby Yoda next...

[@radicalwaifuist688]

Jenny is pretty!

[@rossrreyes]

i just like hearing Jenny speak

[@mosb1000]

These shows are hilarious. Sorry I couldn't think of anything mean to say.

[@stahppls2293]

Her Padme voice is spot on

[@YTAccountTesting3]

Your show is great keep it up

[@kevinrowley55]

Sounds like the force is like the star wars credit score

[@asterozoan]

HOW do these videos only have tens of thousands of views?

[@MCr33py]

I want to see one or both of Jenny's parents on as guests. For some reason I think it would be excruciatingly awkward.

[@espeh75]

KZbin carried her, it gave birth, it raised her. It can't explain what happened.

[@kirk1701]

espeh75 KZbin is Force sensitive and created Jenny.

[@Ariel-ps8je]

i've only seen two of the star wars movies but love watching this show!!! Jenny is da best

[@greyareaRK1]

I'd like to see a Jedi Master carrying on a long-distance relationship with Shmi via the force. She opens the door and a wind blows in, a Marvin Gaye record floats through the air and starts playing on a space victrola; she's lays on a bantha carpet in front of a fire, a glass of bantha wine clinks against another floating in midair; in the bedroom the force rolls mightily under the bedsheets. Cut to: Jedi Temple, a young Jedi with long green ears and his master look down at Yoda meditating and giggling. Young Jedi: Master Yoda meditates a lot. He's very spiritual. Jedi Master rolls his eyes.

[@mk6rfc1]

They have run out of swca footage already?

[@JAFOpty]

Luke vs the Wampa was just s street magic trick that went awry

[@theoldar]

Best episode so far.

[@matthewboer8279]

A jar jar kissing scene would just have an uncomfortable amount of tongue.

[@DavyDave]

Did Joseph give you some free Star Wars counselling after the show? 'Cause there's so much that bothers you.

[@anonynomnomnom]

As someone who remembers hanging out with the Scrimshaw bros at Balls, this is kinda weird for me. How's Hollywood working out for ya, Joe?

[@damienbeatty5327]

I vote for Jenny to be the next Disney Heroine. Delightful and wonderful show.

[@chronicguardian9684]

We never see your brother Alphonse. What is he? A disembodied suit of armor?

[@Bonzulac]

If only all Star Wars fans were laconic and passive/aggressively mean, I'd make fun of them less.

[@poisonhemlock]

If Rey is a child of the force, then Luke is her nephew.

[@Psilocybin77]

don't let Rich Evans near the droid on the mantle in the background

[@TheTrognation]

"Skippy the Jedi Droid" was never supposed to be canon. The Star Wars Tales comic from which it originates states that some of its tales were just for fun; not to be taken seriously. I believe the in-universe rationalization was that they were a collection of holofilms. Maybe if you were the Generation-Y-Wing you'd know better, never mind that you're probably older than me. Google says you died in 2005, so RIP in Papanoida, I guess.

[@doyscherr]

If Jenny is the Millenial Falcon and the show is Millenial Falcon, are we all Millenial Falcons?

[@doomedhuh]

Jenny is awesome.

[@WAValenti]

Rey is not "The Last Jedi" but she's definitely "The Next Bendu!"

[@urbex_coasters]

The famous "I'm no one" line from The Force Awakens trailers was NOT in the movie. Just putting that out there, maybee we were straight up told and cause people wouldn't believe it, they assume she has parrnts from past films.

[@darianmccants]

5:25 Jenny's mean, he didnt even realize what he was doing
