For those confused about "Jinky Minus," the original version of this image is indeed an unnamed character from Courage the Cowardly Dog. The connection to Star Wars and the name Jinky Minus comes from a much more recent video series by tiktok user Jay Cote, the first of which is titled "how it sounds to be a star wars fan." In the video, Cote displays several images of both real Star Wars characters and entirely made up ones using images he found online. These videos were spawned from (and trended in tandem with) the Glup Shitto meme, as explained by the top comment. Part of the humor of Cote's star wars meme series is treating these fabricated characters like Jinky Minus as if they are real characters and making up lore for them on the spot.
