Endor is a planet in the Star Wars universe best known for its moon, known as the sanctuary moon, a forested world (moon) covered by giant trees.
History within the Star Wars universe
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 movies Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, as well as the animated Marvel Comics series and Star Wars: Ewoks.
In one of the Star Wars Tales comics, 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."[1]
Filming
The Endor film scenes were recorded at Redwood National and State Parks in California.[2]
