Star Wars: 10 Weird Expanded Universe Things We're Glad Aren't Canon Anymore

Jaxxon the Rabbit is perhaps in contention with the likes of Jar Jar Binks and Boss Nass for worst Star Wars character ever created. A green Bugs Bunny lookalike, Jaxxon was a quippy, annoying smuggler whom accompanied Han and Chewie on a few adventures in the early Marvel Star Wars comics.

Though these early issues were almost always completely nonsensical, Jaxxon and his insane misadventures may take the cake in terms of utter inanity. As a character, he is totally unlikable: combining the goofy, awkward appearance of Jar Jar Binks with the unfunny, offbeat wit of someone like Dash Rendar. Star Wars fans should count themselves lucky that this dumb misfire of a character never made it beyond the series' infancy... sort of.

The worst part is that Jaxxon, despite universal contempt from fans, made it, in some form, back into series canon. The green, furry rabbit creature made a brief appearance in the 2018 Star Wars Adventures comic The Lost Eggs of Livorno. While most of his stories aren't considered to be canon anymore, it's unfortunate to think that he's once again made a return to Star Wars.
