Endor (planet)

Endor, also called Tana by the Ewoks native to one of its moons, was a gas giant located in the Endor system, a binary star system positioned in the Moddell sector of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. Endor acted almost like a third sun to the moons with its clouds of hydrogen reflecting light. Located in grid square H-16 on the Standard Galactic Grid, it was connected to Cerea and Bakura by a hyperspace route. The planet was orbited by nine major moons, the largest of whichStar Wars: Complete Locations was known as the Forest Moon of Endor. The ocean moon of Kef Bir was also one of Endor's moons. Additionally, 48 "sub-lunar" objects orbited the planet.
Before the destruction of the New Republic, the Galactic Senate attempted to rename the planet Tana, in honor of the Ewoks.
==Behind the scenes==
Endor was originally created for the 1983 film, Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, 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.
In the rough draft and revised rough draft of the script for Return of the Jedi, the Forest Moon of Endor, then known as the "Green Moon,"Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays instead orbited the Imperial capital world of Had Abbadon,The Making of Return of the Jedi which would later evolve into Coruscant.
