Endor is a forested moon in the Star Warsuniverse. The moon was the site of a pivotal battle depicted in Return of the Jedi.
Description[edit]
Endor first appears in Return of the Jedi, in which it is the body in whose orbit the second Death Star is constructed, and is the home of a race of furry aliens called Ewoks. The moon later appears in the Ewok TV moviesThe Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, as well as the animated Ewoks and its Marvel Comics tie-in series.
Various descriptions of the Endor system exist in various media. Special effects storyboards for Return of the Jedi refer to a distant orb in the system as 'Planet Endor'. According to the Return of the Jedi novelization, the planet disappeared in an ancient cataclysm. The Ewok television films depict a gas giant in the sky, and novels such as The Truce at Bakura and Dark Apprentice also mention a planet visible from the moon. The planet is called 'Tana' in the Ewoks animated series, which also depicts a binary star system (while other sources depict only one sun).[1]
Warfighter: Battle of Endor. So it was in the Imperial military forces by the time of the Battle of Endor. Yes, they had suffered a massive reverse when the Death Star I was destroyed, but in that and subsequent engagements they had winnowed the Rebel fleet down to a fraction of what it had been. The space battle around Endor, which ends in the destruction of the second Death Star, has some striking parallels with real-world scenarios, both historical and contemporary. • Battlefront Modding • Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order • Star Wars.

In a Star Wars Tales comic entitled Apocalypse Endor, an Imperial veteran of Endor refers to the moon being devastated by the impact of falling debris from the Death Star, which was blown up while in orbit around the moon. However, another character dismisses this as a myth, saying that most of the Death Star's mass was obliterated in the explosion, and that the Rebels 'took care of the rest.'[2]

Battle Of Endor is a part of the Star Wars universe.
Description[edit]
The Battle of Endor was a major military conflict occurring between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance in the Galactic Civil War, in which the Second Death Star was destroyed. The battle would ultimately lead to the deaths of Darth Sidious and Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker on the Second Death Star.
History[edit]
Battle Of Endor Movie
The battle occurred on two fronts: the space battle and the ground battle on the forrest moon.
After Bothan spies acquired insider info at the cost of their lives, the Rebel Alliance sent a strike team led by Han Solo to the forest moon. Their goal was to infiltrate an Imperial base and shut down the shields on the Second Death Star. Solo's strike team eventually teamed up with the moon's native species, the Ewoks, and teamed up to take down the Imperial forces defending the base.
The space battle, led by Admiral Ackbar, featured the largest showing of the Rebel fleet in the Original Trilogy. They were set to attack the Second Death Star after the space station's shields were down, but upon arriving discovered the Emperor had set a trap. In the face of tremendously difficult odds, the Rebels fought valiantly against a fully operational Death Star and countless TIE fighters. General Lando Calrissian, piloting the Millennium Falcon, succeeded in destroying the space station.
Following the battle, Rebel forces assembled on the forest moon to celebrate with the Ewoks.
