Star Wars/Endor

The moon above which the [Death Star II]? was constructed in the Star Wars movie [The Return of the Jedi]?. Home to Ewoks, the cute (some say too cute) furry denizens who help the [Rebel Alliance]? defeat the forces of the Empire?.

The moon's name comes for the Elven word for Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings, probably an allusion to the similarity between the moon's tall foliage and the mallyrn of Lothlórien?.

Some fans of the movie with some knowledge of physics have noted that if the destruction of the second [Death Star]? actually occurred as depicted, the moon would have been rendered uninhabitable, although there is still a great deal of speculation on this point.
