Endor was a gas giant located in the Endor system,[1] a binary[2] star system positioned in the Moddell sector of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories.[1] Located in grid square H-16 on the Standard Galactic Grid, it was connected to Cerea and Bakura by a hyperspace route.[4] The planet was orbited by nine moons, the largest of which[3] was known as the Forest Moon of Endor.[1]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Endor was originally created for the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi,[5] where it appeared as a distant orb, labeled "Planet Endor" by special effects storyboards, above its Forest Moon, not large enough to be definitively labeled a planet.[6]
In the earliest drafts of Return of the Jedi, the Forest Moon of Endor, then known as the "green moon," instead orbited the Imperial capital world of Had Abbadon,[7] which would later evolve into Coruscant.[8]
