In 5 ABY , Max was staying at the House of Max in the city of Barons Hed , the capital of Sulon . He was sharing a room with a Human female and had armed himself with a modified Bryar pistol that could fire repeating blasts . One day , when Max ' s companion decided to go to a nearby market , a man named Kyle Katarn barged into their home . Katarn , a New Republic agent , was pursuing a personal vendetta against the Dark Jedi Jerec and sought to reach the city ' s Government House . There , the droid 8t88 was deciphering a map to the Valley of the Jedi , which Katarn ' s late father had sworn to protect . Katarn had taken it upon himself to pursue the matter ; however , Gran thugs and Grave Tusken mercenaries prowled the streets of Baron ' s Hed , making Katarn ' s trip hazardous . Max decided to accompany Katarn on his journey and took his heavily modified pistol to the numerous thugs in a haphazard and frantic manner . Once Katarn reached the Government House , the pair parted ways . Katarn and Max later teamed up again to apprehend the Ketton spy Derrida . They caught up with her on Kwenn Space Station , located in the outer reaches of the Mid Rim . They successfully captured Derrida but nearly destroyed the space station in the process .

Purcell eventually went to work for LucasArts as an animator and began writing " Sam & Max " comics for the LucasArts quarterly magazine " The Adventurer " , including several that parodied " Star Wars " . In 1993 , LucasArts released the first " Sam & Max " video game , , which Purcell helped design . Max , sometimes accompanied by Sam , has also made Easter egg cameo appearances in several other LucasArts video games , including , , and , among others . Max also makes cameos in a number of LucasArts " Star Wars " games , including " " ( 1995 ) , in which the outline of Max ' s head is visible on a map of the Ice Station Beta facility ; ( 1996 ) , which uses Max ' s likeness to represent a " Challenge Point " icon in the game ' s Mos Eisley level ; " " ( 1997 ) ; and " " ( 2003 ) , which includes Max ' s head in the " cockpit " of the game ' s un - lockable Buick feature . Yet 1997 ' s " Jedi Knight : Dark Forces II " remains Max ' s most substantial cameo . In the game , Max is featured in two cameos , the lesser appearing in " Level 9 : Fuel Station Launch . " At the end of the level , the player can see three images of Max ' s face on a part of Fuel City ' s docking array . However , the more significant cameo takes place in " Level 5 : Baron ' s Hed – The Fallen City . " If the player moves across the lowest step of a staircase in the early stages of the level , a woman in a nearby building will open a door and leave . If moving quickly enough , the player can sneak in through the opened door . If too slow , the player can wait for the woman to return and reopen the door . Within the building , standing on a large chair , is Max , armed with a Bryar pistol . If the player interacts with Max , the bunny will help the player throughout the rest of the level . Should the player fire on Max , the bunny will return fire . Players can also interact with Max once more to activate the " MaxCam , " which shows the level from Max ' s perspective . The later identified Max by name and provided tips to help players find the " Easter egg . " Max ' s physical appearance in the game hews closely to Purcell ' s original drawings , and his zealous wielding of a proportionally oversized gun is culled directly from the " Sam & Max " mythos . Canonicity . Regarding Max ' s canon icity within the " Star Wars " Legends continuity , " The Dark Forces Saga " , a series of game scenarios written by Jason Fry and Abel G . Peña in 2005 , identified one of Kyle Katarn ' s comrades as a " demented , pint - sized lagomorph . " The same phrase had previously been used to describe Max within " Sam & Max Hit the Road " , and Peña later confirmed that the lagomorph in question was indeed Max . Peña purposely referenced Max in connection to the spy Derrida as a homage to the real - world philosopher , a . Peña felt that the message of Deconstructionism as appropriate when referencing a " quasi - canonical Easter egg " like Max because " Star Wars " continuity , like reality , is uncertain and will " always be undermined . " When asked about the canon status of Simon the Killer Ewok from the 2001 video game " " , Leland Chee , manager of Lucasfilm ' s Holocron continuity database , compared him to Max .
