STAR WARS DEATH STAR SCENERY PLUS

Despite the grey, watery location, the obvious answer seems to be that the wreckage of the second Death Star would have landed on the forest moon above which it was destroyed.Īccording to a 2016 tweet from the official Star Wars Twitter account, Endor was able to survive at the end of Return of the Jedi because, “The Rebel Alliance fleet deployed shields and tractor beams to prevent Death Star 2’s meteoric debris from devastating Endor’s forest moon.” But it would make sense that after the Rebellion fell, alongside the rise of the First Order, those protections may have failed, worn out or may have simply ceased to be in the three decades plus between the end of Return of the Jedi and the events of The Rise of Skywalker.

That’s why fans were understandably left surprised when, during The Rise of Skywalker teaser, they were treated to a massive ruin of a Death Star, and immediately began wondering where the heroes had found the enormous piece of Star Wars history. The climax of the film saw the Rebel Alliance and their cuddly allies celebrating freedom from the fascistic hold of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader under the leafy branches of Endor’s famed forests. The wooded glades of Endor saw an epic showdown between the Rebels and the Imperial forces, which would act as the end of the original trilogy and, most importantly to this theory, focused on the Rebellion destroying the Empire’s second Death Star. In the first trailer for the new Star Wars film, fans got a glimpse at a few moments that seemed to suggest part of that celebration of the 42-year legacy of the franchise will be a return to the Forest Moon of Endor.įirst introduced in 1983’s Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, the green and lush planet is most notoriously home to the furry alien race known as Ewoks. Abrams, the director behind both The Force Awakens and the upcoming The Rise of Skywalker, has spoken about how he sees the ninth entry of the Star Wars saga as a way of bringing the prequel, classic and new trilogies together.
