Endor (designated: IX3244-A) is a fictional

GSC days orbital, with a breathable earth-like atmosphere conducive for humans, 85% Standard Gravity [1]
and 8% surface water. It is where Darth Vader's funeral was held.

The moon orbits Tana—the Ewokese word for Endor's host planet—a

Kef Bir was also one of these moons, and is the location where the second Death Star crashed after it exploded over Endor in Return of the Jedi.[6]
It also had two suns: Endor Prime I and Endor Prime II.

Description

The forest moon of Endor first appears in

The Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, as well as the animated Ewoks and its Marvel Comics
tie-in series.

Various descriptions of the Endor system exist in various media. Special effects storyboards for Return of the Jedi refer to a distant orb in the system as "Planet Endor". According to the

Dark Apprentice also mention a planet visible from the moon. The planet is called "Tana" in the Ewoks animated series, which depicts a binary star system (while other sources depict only one sun). According to the Star Wars Databank, this "can be attributed to Ewok lore and myth".[7]

In a

The Rise of Skywalker depicts the wreckage of the second Death Star in a watery location, named Kef Bir, an ocean moon featured in the film that orbits the same gas giant as the forest moon.[9] Wicket W. Warrick
and his son Pommet appear briefly at the end of The Rise of Skywalker, at the sky after the destruction of a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer.

Endor is located in the same sector as planets like Firrerre, Rattatak, Tirracles, and Bunduki, among others.

Scenes set on Endor were filmed on private logging company land that was shortly thereafter clearcut near the town of Smith River, California; the speeder chase scene was filmed at the Chetham Grove section of Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park[10][11][7] near the "Avenue of the Giants" in Humboldt Redwoods State Park.[12]
