The Battle of Endor is a pivotal event in the Star Wars universe, combining a ground assault, a space battle, and a lightsaber duel. It took place during the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. The battle occurred on two fronts: in space above the forest moon of Endor and on the moon's surface. The Rebel Alliance aimed to destroy the shield generator protecting the Empire's new Death Star, which was under construction. The space battle involved the Rebel fleet, led by Admiral Ackbar, facing off against Imperial forces. Meanwhile, on the forest moon, a team led by Han Solo joined forces with the native Ewoks to disable the shield generator. Once the shields were down, the Rebel fleet was able to attack the Death Star. The battle culminated in the destruction of the Death Star and marked a significant turning point in the war, ultimately leading to the downfall of the Empire.
