There's also a resemblance to Jazz Jackrabbit, the pc game character. Was there any cross-inspiration? -- Trinite 20:52, 1 Dec 2005 (CST)

Guess, there was. But JJ developers' inspiration mainly came from NES game "Bucky o'Hare", not from TV show or original comic.

[edit] The Character Listing

I added the three Creators as well as Willy's schoolmates seen in a few episodes, and I changed the spellings of some of the names to the way they are in the shooting scripts (i.e., LaFloo vs. LaFleur, Sly Leezard vs. Slyly Zod, etc.), and I believe the name "Queen Katrina" is a made-up Web Series name for the High Artificers, as she's called in the script.

[edit] Possible rip off OR homage

This character seems extremely similar to a character, Jax "Bucktooth", in Roy Thomas' and Howard Chaykins 1977 version of Star Wars.

There is a small-time character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe called Jaxxon (see http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jaxxon). Jaxxon is a rabbit-like alien, with green fur. Being in the Star Wars universe, he uses blasters as a weapon. Jaxxon's first appearance was in a Star Wars comic by Marvel Comics, published in '78, like Bucky. The similarities might just be coincedental, but who knows there is some intention involved. Still, I can't find any source to back whatever statement up. Anyone any ideas? --Soetermans 18:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

According to the article of the species that Jaxxon is one of, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lepi, Bucky O'Hare was first published after Jaxxon's first appearance. Can we assume that the creators of Bucky have been looking around for an idea for their main character? --Soetermans 18:53, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
