Max (bunny)

Max was a rabbit-like creature who aided Kyle Katarn in the city of Barons Hed, on Sulon.

Max had been staying in the city with a female Human in Barons Hed, during the time when Katarn was attempting to track down 8t88 and a stolen map to the Valley of the Jedi. Katarn, curious as to what a certain locked house in the city was hiding, lay in wait until the woman returned and unlocked her door. Seizing the opportunity, Katarn burst through. What he saw--other than the frightened woman--was a short, armed rabbit with a maniacal grin: Max.

After some nudging on Katarn's part, Max joined the Jedi mercenary in defeating the various thugs who had been terrorizing Barons Hed. He and Katarn parted ways upon reaching Government House in the city's center.

Max wielded a heavily modified Bryar Pistol that was somehow adapted to fire repeating blasts of bowcaster bolts.

Notoriety
While few in the galaxy had ever actually met Max, he managed to leave his mark on several systems. His face was emblazoned on a wall of Sulon's fuel station. Also, during the Galactic Civil War, the Imperial Ice Station Beta had one room that was in the shape of the rabbit's head.

Behind the scenes
Sam and Max are animated characters created by Steve Purcell. When Purcell worked at LucasArts, the company released a game titled Sam & Max Hit the Road, and pictures of the rabbit Max made several appearances in LucasArts games, including a few in the Star Wars genre. Max's actual cameo in Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is one of the most prized "easter eggs" in the LucasArts gaming community.
