Endor

Endor (also known as theForest Moon of Endor and theSanctuary Moon) was a small forestedmoonorbiting thegas giantplanet ofEndor and was the farthest moon away from it. An enchanted world, Endor was notable for being the nativehome of theEwoks, and being the location of theBattle of Endor, which would result in the downfall of the Empire and the firstdeath ofDarth Sidious. Due to its remoteness, Endor was a relatively quiet planetoid.

Endor was also known for the vast amount of sentientspecies it supported, from baseline to exotic. This was largely due to the unusually large number of shipwrecks Endor experienced; it was compared to a "desert island" in space.^[38]

Description[]

The mantle of the moon consisted largelydiorite andfeldspar, although Endor was a volcanically active planetoid with several hotspots.^[39]

Endor's terrain was largely covered by massive, tightly-knit pine and redwood forests. However, the Forest Moon^[1][40] also contained vast dry deserts and grassy plains, smalloceans, secludedlakes, and mountain ranges. The moon's low axial tilt and regular orbit of its gas giant primary helped ensure a comfortable climate. The Forest Moon was temperate and mild, with polar caps regulating the sea levels. Flora life includedCambylictus trees and other large plants, thriving with many types of fruit including theGrava berries. Endor was the second moon of the gas giant it orbited.

Species[]

The forest moon was home to theEwoks, famous for helping defeat the Empire at the Battle of Endor. The four other native sentientspecies were the tall and timidYuzzums, the fairy-likeWisties, the amphibiousGorphs, and the Ewoks' mischievous and treacherous genetic cousins, theDuloks. The moon also boasted other stranger beings and entities, such asMount Sorrow, theSun King, the SorceressLeaf Queen,Flower Queen and the mightySnow King.

A number of semi-sentient species are also indigenous to the moon, including, the predatoryGrass Trekkers, the non-nativeGorax, and plant-like beings known as thefftssfft, or more commonly known as "dandelion warriors".

In addition to the five sentient native species (Ewoks,Duloks,Gorphs,Wisties, andYuzzum), the forest moon was inhabited by many races descended from shipwreck survivors.

History[]

Pre-Imperial[]

Around3645 BBY, a black-market spice dealer claimed that his product, a rare flower, came from a secret Republic bio-lab on the moon. The spice dealer was later found to be incompetent or a cheat: the flower that he sold was improperly cared for by the spice dealer or the spice dealer's source.^[41]

The moon's history was constantly being shaped by starships crashing on the backwater satellite, introducing new species and technology which had to be integrated into the local politics and ecosystem. Known crashes includedSickly Tremor prior to1100 BBY (introducingPhlogs andGorax), aStarhunter menagerie ark in about800 BBY (introducingGupins,Teeks, andtree goat), theFree Enterprise in130 BBY (introducingJindas andTulgahs), a stolen ship in100 BBY (introducingSanyassan Marauders and thewitchCharal),Noa Briqualon's starship in26 BBY (carryingNoa Briqualon andSalak Weet), and theTowani family's starcruiser in3 ABY (carryingCindel Towani and her family).

Endor was set aside as a protected nature reserve during theGalactic Republic, giving it the name Sanctuary Moon. Few spacers had ever heard of Endor, let alone visited the moon. Of those who had, there were two types: those who continued on their way, not wanting to waste their time on such an unimportant puffball of a moon and those who had crash-landed in the forests due to the stellar anomalies, such as theEndor Gate black hole, in the area. These travelers were forced to scrabble for food and shelter along with the natives.

As ships disappeared in the region, the Endor moon earned a reputation as a "desert island in space," and was usually given a wide berth.

The moon did have aFfib outpost established before theClone Wars.^[42] Late in the Clone Wars, it had aSeparatist base,discovered byAayla Secura.^[43]

Imperial Survey[]

When thousands of survey teams were sent by the Emperor to scout locations for the new Death Star's construction site, Endor was one of the potential locations. The forest moon met the strict requirements demanded by no less a person thanDarth Vader; the location must be remote, and must have a diverse geosphere capable of sustaining Human life. Endor's location was quite advantageous; the Moddell sector was far from most Imperial outposts. Vader thought that the Rebellion wouldn't expect a new base to be hidden so far from the Empire's seat of power.

The first Imperial scouting expedition, Survey TeamIX3244-B, was led byCaptainToss, who recommended the Endor moon even before his team had explored the surface. The native Ewoks led his team around in circles, and Lt.Kiviett recommended that the Ewoks be studied further. He felt they were a potential threat to the new base. Toss, wanting the credit for discovering the new Death Star construction site, ignored him.^[44]

The lack of a detailed report displeased the Emperor who authorized the deployment of a second scouting expedition underPfilbee Jhorn. Pfilbee Jhorn's team studied the Ewoks further and also discovered several other species including the Teeks, Goraxes, Yuzzums and the Sanyassan colony. In the end, only Pfilbee and two others survived the mission and went offworld.

By3 ABY, the Empire had established aresearch outpost on Endor, to enable further study of it. The "harmless" Ewoks encountered there did not go unnoticed by others in the Imperial hierarchy. Dr.Raygar, a servant of the Emperor, believed that these Ewoks guarded a powerful artifact he had been seeking: theSunstar. Though he had originally intended to present the Sunstar to Darth Sidious, Raygar decided that with such a powerful artifact in his possession, he could overthrow Sidious and rule the galaxy himself. He used the Sunstar to construct a devastating weapon.^[45]

The incident ended disastrously for Raygar, as Ewoks boarded his ship, stole the Sunstar and escaped back to Endor.AdmiralKazz, who had never believed in the Sunstar's power to begin with, arrested Raygar fortreason. The would-be-emperor was dragged kicking and screaming into the Emperor's shuttle for execution. Sidious, for his part, was curious to learn more of this forest moon.^[45]

The Empire established an outpost on the Sanctuary Moon, and it was from here that preparations were made so that the construction site for the second Death Star could be moved there. When Imperial teams arrived to construct the shield generator complex and other installations, they discovered Alliance CaptainJunas Turner, who had come to the moon to locate the new Death Star. He was taken captive and sent to the automated prison stationBalis-Baurgh, along with an Ewok namedGrael. They would later escape, but it was too late to inform the Rebellion of the threat.

Though the Sunstar was now safely returned to Bright Tree Village, its power had not prevented Raygar from stealing it, and so the Ewoks avoided the Empire whenever possible. They despised the crimes against nature perpetuated by the construction teams for the generator complex, but could see no way to fight against such powerful beings, particularly Darth Vader, who swept several Ewoks away on awave of flame.

This attitude changed when Wicket W. Warrick spotted an AT-ST tumbling over the Yawari cliffs. This proved to the tribal elders that the invaders could be killed. On Wicket's recommendation, existing traps for the giantGorax were modified to combat the Imperials.

Battle of Endor[]

Main article:Battle of Endor

As the Galactic Civil War drew on in the years of3-4 ABY, aRebel Alliance strike team, led byDash Rendar andLuke Skywalker, captured information from the cruiserSuprosa atKothlis. It confirmed the existence of asecond Death Star, being constructed over the moon of Endor. It was not realized then, butDarth Sidious had purposely allowed the plans to be captured, so that the Rebels could be coaxed into a trap.

The Rebel fleet amassed nearSullust and was addressed byMon Mothma. She andAdmiralGial Ackbar informed the battle-weary freedom fighters that the Emperor himself would be aboard the station, further emphasizing the need to win the battle, which would either way end the war. The entire operation was orchestrated to coordinate the fleet, commanded by Ackbar, and a substantial starfighter force, led byLando Calrissian to jump to Endor through hyperspace and arrive to a shieldless, incomplete Death Star. Acommando team would be sent on ahead in acoup-de-main (or, clandestine operation) and disable the shield generator and projector housed on the Endor moon.

The commando team, led byHan Solo,PrincessLeia,Chewbacca, andLuke Skywalker, used the stolenImperialshuttleTydirium to slip past Imperial defenses and land on the moon. After speederbike chases, Leia going missing, and other confusions, the team fell into a primitive trap set by the main indigenous species, theEwoks. At first they sawC-3PO as a deity, and prepared to sacrifice the main team in celebration to the droid. The Rebels were soon freed however after Luke Skywalker, using a few clever Force tricks, and with the help of C-3PO deceived the Ewoks into believing the droid possessed powerful magic he would use against them if his friends were not freed. Afterwards, Threepio captivated the Ewoks with an epic recounting on the events leading up to their arrival on the forest moon. The Ewoks then inducted the Rebels into theirtribe with great enthusiasm, cementing their cooperation against the Imperials in the forthcoming battle in which the Ewoks would play a pivotal role.

The Rebel fleet jumped insystem, prepared to assault the Death Star. With the shield still up, a massive Imperial fleet revealed itself, pinning the Rebels between them and the shield, and the climactic battle began. Luke, who had voluntarily allowed his capture by Imperials to meetDarth Vader in hopes up turning him back to the light, watched from the Emperor's tower on the Death Star as Sidious' trap unfolded. On the moon below, Han Solo and the team had been captured. Things looked grave as the shield remained up, and Ackbar ordered the only thing the fleet could do: attack the Imperial Fleet.

But Rebel fortunes changed. The Ewoks, thanks to an impromptu distraction from C-3PO and R2-D2, attacked the groundsideStormtrooper legions, and the Rebel commandos took advantage of the confusion. Despite early setbacks, the Ewoks and the commandos beat the Empire through guerrilla tactics, but the Ewoks' presence was the catalyst needed. In space, the fleet succeeded beyond all odds in attacking the Imperial Fleet. Several vessels, including theSuper Star DestroyerExecutor, fell under the guns of theAlliance Fleet. Solo's team finally destroyed the shield generator;Lando Calrissian,Tycho Celchu,Wedge Antilles, and a handful of other pilots descended into the now shieldless battle-station's innards to destroy the core; and Luke Skywalker, who witnessed Anakin Skywalker redeem himself from the specter of Darth Vader and kill Darth Sidious, barely escaped with a fatherwho did not survive long enough to get off the Death Star with him. It was a victorious day for the Alliance. Soon, races all over the galaxy fromTatooine toCoruscant would be celebrating, and soon afterwards the Rebel Alliance.

This was immediately followed by the Rebels relocating their main base fromHaven Base onArbra toBright Tree Village on Endor.

Ssi-ruu Invasion[]

The day after the Battle of Endor, the local Rebel forces received a distress call fromBakura, and so the Alliancefought theSsi-ruuImperium from theUnknown Regions for a week. In the aftermath of that conflict, the Rebel Alliance wasreorganized into theAlliance of Free Planets, where Bright Tree Village on Endor remained as the capital.

Nagai-Tof Invasion[]

A day after thedefeat of the Ssi-ruu, the alien race was replaced by another threat, known as theNagai, and subsequently, their enemies, theTof. This conflict was known as theNagai-Tof War. The Nagai were an alien race, also from theUnknown Regions, and had encountered theAlliance of Free Planets on a number of occasions, but these were only minor missions to lay the groundwork for their invasion of the galaxy. In 4 ABY, they made amajor assault on Endor, to strike the Alliance at its heart and mark the start of the new conflict.

The Nagai were aided by theImperial forces ofLumiya and came close to victory, but the heroic actions of Luke Skywalker andLando Calrissian helped to save the day and bring victory to the Alliance. However it was a hollow victory, as it had cost the Alliance many casualties and had began a new galactic conflict that threatened everything that the Alliance had gained, until the Tof weredefeated, by a coalition of an Imperial faction, the Nagai and the Alliance of Free Planets.

One day after the month-long conflict, the Alliance of Free Planets, wasreorganized into theNew Republic, with Endor still acting as the capital.

Tourism[]

Endor saw limited use as a tourist destination from travel agencies such asGalaxy Tours andStar Tours.^[39] Immediately following the Battle of Endor, some tourism companies attempted to cash in on the forest moon's sudden notoriety. Trips offered by theStar Tours travel agency met with a series of mishaps before the company was forced out of business. Interest in the moon dwindled over the years until only a small number of trading posts remained.^[35]

In6 ABY, the New Republicrelocated from Endor toCoruscant and thus officially became the dominant power in theGalaxy.

Grand Admiral Thrawn Crisis[]

Following the Second Battle of Endor, the planet was left mostly alone by bothNew Republic and Imperial forces as they shifted their focus to other battles and areas of contention. Five years after the battle of Endor,Leia Organa Solo chose Endor as a rendezvous withKhabarakh. When Khabarakh arrived, she left theMillennium Falcon in orbit of Endor while she traveled with Khabarakh toHonoghr. Some time later,Grand AdmiralThrawn came to Endor and had theFalcon brought on board his ship upon discovering it in orbit. While at Endor, Thrawn met withMara Jade, and after promising very favorable terms in exchange for the location of theKatana fleet, he followed her and was able to briefly captureTalon Karrde.

Even after five years, Force sensitive individuals were still able to feel the disruption to the Force caused by the first death ofDarth Sidious, particularly when vessels passed through the spot where thesecond Death Star had exploded. While at Endor, bothLeia Organa Solo andMara Jade felt evidence of the Emperor's death, which Mara Jade termed as not being very pleasant.^[46]

University of Sanbra studies[]

In12 ABY, biologists from theUniversity of Sanbra studied and cataloged the many non-indigenous and lesser-known indigenous lifeforms of Endor to determine how they lived together. The study was headed by ProfessorMankuskett. It focused on theJindas,Gupins,Duloks,Phlogs,Grass Trekkers,Makants,Dandelion Warriors,tree goats andWisties. It was hoped the study would rectify the shortcomings of the incomplete surveys performed by Imperialscout troopers prior to theBattle of Endor.

Second Galactic Civil War[]

In40 ABY, a conflict between theGalactic Alliance andCorellia exploded into afull-scale war.Jacen Solo fell to thedark side of the Force and took the name Darth Caedus. When Caedus trickedBen Skywalker into killing former Galactic Alliance chief of stateCal Omas, the Jedi withdrew their support, despite the fact that Caedus had taken the students at the Jedi Praxeum on Ossus hostage. After a Galactic Allianceattack on Kashyyyk launched by Caedus had been driven off, the Jedi relocated to Endor.

The Jedi took up residence informer Imperial facilities still located on Endor. Many of theirStealthX fighters were hidden in areas where debris from the explodingDeath Star II had created burn zones on the surface of Endor. The surviving young students rescued from Ossus were hidden in a series of caverns on Endor, in order to protect them from Darth Caedus while many of the older Jedi and their allies moved to actively oppose Lord Caedus.

Tenel Ka traveled to Endor shortly after Caedus kidnappedAllana from her mother, and met withGrand MasterLuke Skywalker. Luke informed Tenel Ka that the Jedi Order would help rescue her daughter from theAnakin Solo.^[47]

GeneralTycho Celchu later traveled to Endor withCaptainSyal Antilles to relay an official request from the Galactic Alliance government to theNew Jedi Order to return to the service of the Galactic Alliance. Even though it was believed that the request was fromAdmiralCha Niathal, or at the least factions of the Galactic Alliance loyal to her, Luke refused the offer as it could have left the Order at the mercy of Darth Caedus. Realizing General Celchu would report the location of the Jedi base to his superiors and that Darth Caedus would sooner or later learn where the Jedi were hiding, Luke decided that the Jedi would leave Endor before Caedus could act against the Jedi.^[47]

Before the Jedi abandoned their base on Endor for theTransitory Mists,Ben Skywalker met with his auntLeia Organa Solo and his cousinJaina Solo to talk over his conviction thatAlema Rar had not been responsible for hismother's death and showed them a recording that proved that Jacen had killed her, much to their horror.^[48]

Behind the scenes[]

In canon[]

Endor first appeared in theStar Wars universe with the release ofStar Wars: Episode VIReturn of the Jedi.

With three films, a television series, and a comic book series based around it, Endor is one of the most documented locations in theStar Wars universe.

The orbit and ground of Endor serve as locations for multiple Versus Mode matches inStar Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike. The space Dogfight match features Star Destroyers which fire at the players. There is also a Speeder Bike race in the forests.

Origins[]

Therough draft and revised rough draft of the script forReturn of the Jedi identified the forest moon as theGreen Moon and the second draft identified it asJus-Endor. In the rough draft and revised rough draft, the Green Moon orbitedHad Abbadon—now known asCoruscant—along with twoDeath Stars under construction.^[49]

The real-world location for Endor isRedwood National Park inCalifornia.

Discrepancies in canon[]

The planet Endor was never visible in any scenes inReturn of the Jedi set on the forest moon, a fact whichthe novelization explains by asserting that it was destroyed some time earlier, and that the moon now orbits its star in a planetary orbit of its own^[50] in spite of the fact that a celestial object that the special effects storyboards identify as "Planet Endor" is visible in the opening scene of the film.^[51]The Essential Atlas dismisses the planet's disappearance as an elaborate hoax. It should be noted that in two ofReturn of the Jedi's space battle scenes, a pinkish globe can be seen in the background, in the vicinity of the forest moon. Another shot showing TIE fighters flying towards the Death Star (and camera) with several Star Destroyers in the background shows this pinkish globe. In addition, a large globe can be seen in the sky during some scenes in the two Ewok telefilms (Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure andEwoks: The Battle for Endor), though this does not closely resemble the one seen inReturn of the Jedi.Star Wars: Battlefront II shows the planet Endor as a large blue planet when in Galactic Conquest mode.

Some fans with some knowledge of physics have noted that if the destruction of the Death Star II actually occurred as depicted, the moon would have been rendered uninhabitable. This is known as the "Endor Holocaust." Because later publications confirm no such disaster happened, several explanations have been suggested, such as the Rebellion bringing large-scale, portable shield generators to protect the moon from radioactive fallout, or awormhole being formed from the explosion of the second Death Star, explaining where all the drifting debris went (as confirmed inThe Glove of Darth Vader).

Star Wars Battlefront II: Prima Official Game Guide erroneously states that Endor is located in theUnknown Regions instead of theOuter Rim Territories.^[52] A planet map displayed at theStar Tours attractions inDisneyland Paris andTokyo Disneyland places the moon within the "Zone of Sullust."
