Battle of Endor

The Battle of Endor was a conflict that occured at the end of the Galactic Civil War. It was initiated when the Rebel Alliance learned of the Second Death Star's construction over Endor. The Rebel Fleet sent a small detatchment down to the surface of Endor (consisting of Han Solo, Leia, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2, along with several other Rebel soldiers) to destroy the shield generator there, therefore allowing the Rebel Fleet to directly assault the Death Star.

After meeting up with the local Ewoks on Endor following a dramatic speeder chase, the Rebel forces eventually destroyed the Shield Generator, allowing Admiral Ackbar to assault the Death Star with the Home One and the other Rebel Ships. Lando Calrissian flew the Millenium Falcon inside the Second Death Star with Wedge Antilles, and the two attacked the Death Star's core.

In the meantime, Luke Skywalker had been taken aboard the Second Death Star to confront Palpatine. After a duel with his father, Darth Vader, Luke decided to not give in to his hate and threw down his lightsaber. He was attacked by Palpatine with Force Lightning, and pleaded with his father for help. Vader eventually decided to forsake the dark side and kill Palpatine, saving his son but severely injuring himself.

Meanwhile, Han and the other Rebels on the surface of Endor were fighting off the Empire with help from the Ewoks. After destroying several AT-STs and capturing the majority of the Stormtroopers, the Rebels could only watch the space battle unfold above the planet.

Lando and Wedge flew inside the Death Star after watching it destroy the Redemption and Liberty, they decided that a direct assault was necessary. Ackbar approved this and the two pilots flew their ships inside the Death Star and fired upon its core. Wedge took down the main generator and started a chain reaction, thus destroying the station. Both pilots and Luke managed to make it off the station before it exploded, and joined the celebrations that unfolded down on the surface of Endor.
