Around age 10-11, two things that my world revolved around were Star Wars<\/em> and rabbits.<\/p>\n

Star Wars<\/em> is pretty much a given as how much it’s been a part of my life.<\/p>\n

But rabbits<\/strong><\/em>?<\/p>\n

I had a plush bunny rabbit as one of my first toys as a baby, and I held onto that bunny well into my pre-teen years. \u00a0He lead my cadre of other toys, including Action Jackson, the Six Million Dollar Man, and various other plushies.<\/p>\n

I have always been a big fan of Warner Bros. cartoons, especially Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.<\/p>\n

After the initial 6-issue run of Marvel’s original Star Wars<\/em> comic, they started to tell new stories. \u00a0The first arc was about Han Solo and Chewbacca getting involved in a ‘Magnificent Seven’-esque confrontation on some planet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the members of his gang, the Star-Hoppers of Aduba-3?<\/p>\n

Jaxxon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Described as a 7-foot tall Lepi smuggler, Jaxxon became my first favorite character from Star Wars<\/em> who was *not* in the original film.<\/p>\n

This means he beat out Boba Fett as my first favorite by about a year (comic released in November, 1977).<\/p>\n

As the link mentions, Jaxxon pretty much disappeared from the comics after issue #16, with reference to him in other media, but no appearances.<\/p>\n

Which is too bad, because the character has left a lasting impression on me and many other Star Wars<\/em> fans. \u00a0Whether the impression is good or bad, is up to the individual fan.<\/p>\n

Han Solo: “I saw that, rabbit\u2026”
\nJaxxon: “Well, hooray for your side! You must’a been eatin’ your space-carrots\u2026never could stand ’em myself! I’m\u2014”
\nHan Solo: “I heard: A meat-eater\u2026one that needs a job right?”
\nJaxxon: “Well I ain’t standin’ out here for the decor.”
