That they side with the fascist empire is not a surprise. Actually

Well dang. I honestly don't know if that was satire or not. I can't even tell if he was being sarcastic or not. To be fare, I couldn't tell that for a while with the Fandumb Menace as well.

Hahahaha⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🦾🌚

It's hilarious that these people will literally turn the villains into heroes by just flipping the roles and pretending the fascists are a tall freedom fighters and the rebels are actually terrorists.

The rebels kinda were. There was a duly elected government and the rebels used guerrilla tactics to weaken them to the point where the head of the government is assassinated by one of his own soldiers and then a new government is installed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Palpatine dissolved the Senate in 'A New Hope'. There was no government in 'RotJ'. And Vader didn't kill the Emperor because the Rebels had weakened the Empire so much. He killed him to save his son, Luke, from the Emperor.

What’s your point?

My point is that your premise is flawed, and thus, your argument is without merit.

You act like there was no rebellion before A New Hope.

How does what I said comport with that assumption? The only thing you said that was true was that the rebels used guerilla tactics. Emperor wasn't assassinated. The rebels didn't weaken the Government to the point that Vader killed Palpatine. The Senate was ineffective back in the Prequel Era.

Tbf, said elected government also manipulated themselves into power and was super evil and genocidal.

OMFG.... My husband just laughed so hard he fell off the couch.

👇

The Jedi had a mandate from the government to deal with immigration and customs enforcement. They were running refugee transports in the phantom menace and the trade federation invading naboo is basically Russia invading Ukraine. Why is this not a Access Hollywood piece is beyond me.

Is Scott Jennings OK? I'm concerned about his mental state. While he is within his rights to have an opinion, this batshit fucking nuts! Everyone says 'what???' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

U of Louisiana (BA).

I think @markhamillofficial.bsky.social should

Remember all those bad 80s action films where the villains were so obvious and dumb? Yet there were people who were like “ no he’s amazing you don’t know what you’re talking about”. That’s our universe… we are trapped in a crappy 80s movie.

Scott can empathize people who have gone over to the Dark Side. Those are the only people with whom he can empathize.

Intellectual giants from the djt admin.

Um, WTF.

That guy has an extremely punchable face

They’re just trolling us now.

Why is anyone giving that moron a single electron worth of coverage? He makes bags of hammers look smart.

The pic on the right isn’t actually Ian McDiarmid as Sheev Palpatine. It’s this Fox News host before makeup.

so many idiots represent maga..I can't stand them, especially when they make a mockery of star wars or sci-fi.. I think one problem is letting people from hollywood run..no offense..

Just when I thought my WTF lines couldn’t get any deeper!

I know none of those characters, but I lol, knowing they're not real. 🤣🤣. This is the MAGAt standard for "news" now.

Dead-Letter-Literal-Interpretation of the Bible Christian fundamentalism is responsible for Dementia Trump’s deconstruction of the social safety net for the poor and giving the money in tax cuts for the Rich. The churches are responsible for Trump & his Fox News appointees administration

So happy I missed this since Scott Jennings is the reason I stopped watching CNN last year. Kaitlan Collins helped when she allowed Trump to take over her "town hall" with a Magat audience.

the famous moral compass going like

I mean… I just watched the video… is this not a deep fake? Did that dude actually make this statement? What’s happening?

Remember the White House posted an AI picture of Trump with the Sith Lord light Sabre. Perhaps they’re trying to appeal to edge lords at this point. Wouldn’t be surprised if they threw a few jabs at Susan B Anthony and Martin Luther King. I’ve seen people deface a MLK poster in Missouri.

It’s utterly insane… I mean you don’t need to be super immersed in the IP to understand how a kyber turns red which said a lot about the Trump image.. But this take? It’s fucken bizarre… there is nothing redeeming about Sidious… even as a joke it’s a pathetic take by Jennings… he’s an entire clown

If he’s on CNN, he gets first a mute then a channel change

😦

While there were problems with both the Jedi and the bureaucracy, forming a tyrannical empire (electing Trump) is like burning down the house to fix a broken window… from the inside.

I'm not! Clown 🤡 show circus idiot. I wonder if he can juggle balls?

Can this numb nut be more detached from reality?WTF CNN?Why is this miscreant on your payroll?For your supposedly fair and balanced news coverage of both sides bullshit? Who do you morons at CNN think you’re fooling allowing this imbecilic right winger to spout his take on our politics?Do better!

Douch!

Media literacy is apparently an underrated skill.

That's a spicy meatball! A shame it's rotten.

I can't say that I'm surprised that Trump-supporting right-wingers are firmly aligned with the Dark Side.

I cannot wait to see how @markhamillofficial.bsky.social responds to this.

It's so on brand for a MAGA to be a Sith apologist.

I want to see his Grindr account.

…”Conservative CNN panelist Scott Jennings tried to defend infamous Star Wars villain Emperor Palpatine by calling the Jedi "unelected hippies and violent protesters." 😆 This is how far I got in reading bf I stopped. Oh my 😆😆😆 I can’t even. LMAO @ Scott Jennings

Yeeeeea, they depicted Nazi's...great try tho

Let me guess he’s never actually watch Star Wars

Dude bros gonna dude bro.

I'm just wondering if MAGA wants to identify with someone who is clearly cast as a Star Wars villain, if they feel their grievances are so closely aligned with the villain's objectives.

Wow

Need to start calling out people who do not have a concept of what is evil and why committing acts of evil should be avoided

that is so unhinged and creepy..

Are they still trying to explain awya their ai star wars gaffe? Morons defending morons

Employment, too, for that matter.

I turn the channel the second I see his smug face.

They don’t care. It’s dumb and pointless.

Can't watch CNN anymore because of this creature. 😕

I quit watching for the same reason

I thought this was parody. I had to look it up.

Another trump supporter, Laura loomer, posted today, George Floyd, 5 years sober. Are all Republicans ignorant racist starting with the president and working down to the KKK, Nazi and white supremest?

Yes.

That seems like an Onion headline

It really IS hard to tell the difference now. the onion headlines and stories were always ridiculous. Now I can begin reading an article and it takes me a few beats before I realize it’s just an onion satire and not the latest bat$hit executive order.

The Onion was left in the dust on Jan 20. Since then, the real headlines have made it redundant.

Don't think he would listen or care

For the record, to my knowledge, the Deep State have always been the GOOD guys. In Turkey, in Hungary, in Russia, in the People’s Republic of China. In Vichy France. And now in the United States. They’ve always been the people in favor of justice, human rights, Freedom, Democracy, The People!

Tell him what? We all know that MAGA is really order 66 to democracy.

I hope CNN keeps Jennings forever. He's a shining example of the POS network they have become. And then there's Jake....

I cannot understand why CNN has not fired his crazy ass.

I stopped watching CNN in large part because Scott Jennings was constantly on telling lies and talking over the host.

People still watch CNN?

bro IS the deep state, haha

NO ONE Why is anyone anywhere asking this nimrod anything? CNN is a hole I’d rather spend my time watching Jerry Springer “is he the daddy?”episodes …. Smarter and more useful

lmfao... getting paid to pander to the dumbest common denominator ( #REtrumpubliKKKnaziMagants )

What eight year old misunderstood the message of Star Wars back in 1977?

🤣🤣🤣

Oh, for the love of- WATCH ANDOR. WATCH. ANDOR!! D:<

On second thought, don't watch Andor. I don't want these idiots getting more lessons in cartoonish ultra-villainy -_-

I find their lack of media interpretation skills disturbing...

Republicans ARE the “deep state”

What a maroon.

Does he think that the Jedi's are real? Will he also start claiming Voldemort was a poor misunderstood orphan wizard? Am I allowed to call him a D**kHead?

Have you noticed the resemblance of Stephen Miller to Voldemort in appearance and disposition?

The meaning of the word "conservative" has long been invalidated by these people & folks would do well to stop pretending that's what they are. FYI The Sith leader slowly drew the Jedi into the conflict. They were peacekeepers and were thinking they were defending a Republic & reluctant to engage.

He’s a cartoon character at this point.

This idiot needs to go home to Fox news but then again CNN might be the new faux news.

He knows.

I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

CNN pays Scott Jennings to lie and make over the top statements like this in order to create viral content. When we repost articles like this we reward them. Please do not feed the troll.

This guy is the poster boy for the brown nose group, its so had to believe that some of these guy are said to be intelligent when they constantly go on tv to promote the most discussing moronic felon whoever walked the grounds of USA and that is saying something.

“We just want peace by oppressing everyone to the point that protest is impossible, is that so wrong?” Also “We must defeat the imaginary Deep State by creating a real one.”

That dude is probably one of the worst out there. Yes sir Mr Trump lemme suck on that little crunchy cheeto for ya sir. Lemme drink your man boob sweat sir! Pathetic

I’m so grossed out now!🤮👍🏼

Just wait 'til they see what level of diversity makes up the United Federation of Planets...

Oh Good Lord! More cray, cray!

Maligning the heroes of arguably the most successful movie franchise of the last 50 years for BOTH the right AND left... genius move. and he's. all. yours, CNN.

If I were related to Scott Jennings I would change my name.

why the fuck do they give him air time?

probably so he can say stupid shit and make the GOP look like morons. it's like how Faux News will find someone that actually is a gay groomer, and let them speak for half an hour, as if they represent the entire LGBT community.

but i know what you mean

I don’t know, the GOP sure seems to have a high percentage of morons in office.

It feels like Commie Donnie looked at the positions he had in his cabinet, and chose the most unqualified people for each one. He chose an antivaxer who swims in shit to be in charge of HEALTH. you could randomly reshuffle those people into other positions, and they'd be more qualified there.

true

If this is real, I will be phoning people in Canada to see if they want to adopt me.

Are they trolling their own viewers? Bahahhahhahhahahha

They have gone to the dark side, no honour, no kindness. Only fear, hate, loathing, evil, chaos, destruction.

Coincidence? I think not.

Don't insult the Grand Inquisitor like that!

When the olds make stupid talk

He looks to confused to understand the explanation.

Why CNN is, in fact, “fake news.” Scott never provides a counterpoint without a convoluted concoction of his personal bias and twisted, self-serving beliefs aimed at launching himself into the soon-to-be vacated seat of Mitch McConnell.

Haha

I can’t stand him. He’s a horrible person and he reeks clear across the internet! The stench is overwhelming!

Wow!

He wielding our cultural touchstones like an uninformed idiot

Even if Jenninga is the “lone” maga cult member, we all know CNN is in Trump’s pocket w/ the way they are focusing on Biden instead of the real important news. Palpatine was responsible for a Jedi genocide & more! No way he got a bad enough rap! Only cult members would believe he got a bad rap!

Multiple genocides.

Does this mean CNN took time out from its Jake Tapper 24-hour infomercial to cover a different non-news event?

Literally everyone and he won't care. They hate us and they want us dead.

Just a distraction to control the media headlines .... Scott is a trained monkey propagandist.

I don't think he ever even saw the dang movie.

I always thought they looked alike.

Better title: Pundit understands his party’s policies have more to do with cartoonish villainy than basic functional governance, and so attempts to litigate the merits cartoonish villainy.

This.

Funny thing is the Gop doesn't have any problems killing kids.

The media literacy of the rightwing.

Missing “Fight Club” and “Starship Troopers”. It’s actually kind of scary how many examples there are of this.

Judge Dredd

It's quite a long list, but we can add warhammer.

When Sesame Street is included I think it's fair that we can assume a whole lot of folk just don't understand ANY messaging in media!

Any disaster movie where the government politicians don't listen to the scientists so a fuck-ton of people die as a direct result. Oh, and all kids movies where the bad guys are real-estate dickbags or CEOs.

He's a MAGA clown saying dumb $h1t on a crumbling news network to get a social media reaction. Please don't engage.

I hate Scott. I can’t even believe CNN writes him a paycheck.

LOL

America: What the fuck? Love, Canada

I knew all along that Stephen Miller was a Sith.

Trump looks like a budget Palpatine to me.

Scott Jennings should be removed from all platforms

Um.... if anything the Jedi were unintentional collaborators because they were so up their own asses they couldn't detect Sidious right in front of them.

The Dark Side is a pathway to destruction for everyone involved

People rarely think their are the villains of their own story...

Bat shit crazy

I have an old college roomate that had that same theory regarding the Jedi. One would think the dictatorial, Nazi, evil burned face guy would help one follow who the flawed good guys and who the bad guys are. Guess not.

So they are admitting they are truly evil and love it.

lmfao what a giant douche! #clueless I'd love to see is head explode if he were to watch "Andor" (especially season 2)

This douchebag is one of the reasons I stopped watching cnn why have him there?

How is this even a real thing? Real life is now a giant series of Onion articles.

When he's done being meat injected...

“Free Palpatine!”

So which one is Palpatine? Trump or Musk?

Fucking dak side!

Trump is definitely Palpatine. but I guess that makes Musk Dooku?

I have called Trump "Pumpkin Spice Palpatine" in recent months....

...and I ascertained that Elon Skywalker had become Darth Musk a few years back on X already. Some other people noticed as well bsky.app/profile/bill...

Miller, or Vought.

The explanation would go over the guys head.

A public service announcement: Democrats have historically done well when in power, but they are in the minority in Congress Congressional Republicans are in power right now, and can make change If you want change, call your Republicans That U.S. Congressional switchboard number is 202-224-3121

it's important we resist

There’s no point trying to tell this idiot anything. He is simply a brainwashed bigot who doesn’t live by facts, he lives by ideology.

Jedi used slaves to fight their war. He might be right

Coming up: defending Sauron! The Dark Lord got a bad rap. There he was, defending against a violent, woke mob from invasion when a misshapen dwarf sneaks by and tosses his stuff...in a VOLCANO!

Not if you’re the apprentice to a Sith Lord—which I’m fairly sure this clown is. Fortunately, the real Sith of America are nothing more than incompetent, delusional narcissists, reliant on the ignorance and compliance of those they grift.

Jennings is a pond scum malignant toxic POS. If only he had a brain!

These guys have wet dreams about replacing democracy with an autocracy run by billionaire plutocrats, so what is wrong about replacing the "Republic" with the "Galactic Empire"

I think we should just let him turn into a giant prune as well.

This is just as bad as he guy who thought the X-men were the bad guys. O..O

Finally, one of them admits that they'd be on the wrong side

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This strikes me like the "Daniel is the bad guy in Karate Kid" thing.

Jennings is not a correspondent; he is a Trump sycophant and nothing more .. when he shows up on a panel, I turn off CNN. I appreciate hearing from both sides but Jennings just spouts Trumpism ..

86J

Up is down, slavery is freedom, wrong is right.

Yep. 1984 was just set a few decades too soon.

Is that Scott Jennifer? He, like the master who's butt he worships is an idiot. No respect for this dude.
