Endor

Endor is the fictional moon which was home to the Ewoks and above which the Death Star II[?] was constructed in the Star Wars movie Return of the Jedi.

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 mallorn 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.
