Yep, he’s back. The oft-maligned yet still fondly remembered Jaxxon is back, and ready for some Hyperspace Annual action thanks to Dark Horse.
Is that a green bunny?
Oh you better believe it’s a green bunny. What Star Wars fan (who’s old enough) could forget Jaxxon, the green rabbit-like Lepi smuggler. An original character, Jaxxon made a name for himself (for good or ill) in the classic Star Wars comics from Marvel.
And while he was kind of just a footnote that never appeared anywhere else, he’s never been what I’d say was forgotten either. Though some of that fame might have been infamy, the fact remains.
That kinda/sorta fond remembering might be what’s fueling his latest appearance too, in an upcoming Dark Horse comic. It’s a guest-starring role that’ll find the bunny-man embroiled in an Ewok civil war, and also bring him into the sequel-era.
Taking a break from his stellar career as a New Republic fighter ace, the galaxy’s greatest green rabbit is sent on a top-secret diplomatic mission to Endor, only to end up in the middle of a full-blown Ewok Civil War! Things get dicey, and our long eared Lepi might have to choose between saving the day, and saving his own skin!
