INTRODUCTION
The Complete Galaxy Line only lasted for four planets: The Death Star with Darth Vader, Dagobah with Yoda, Tatooine with Luke Skywalker, and Endor with Ewok and Glider. There was going to be a fifth planet, Hoth with Princess Leia but it never made it out of the prototype stage for this line was cancelled.
The Endor star system was long thought to be an insignificant, removed cluster with few planets and no major travel routes. For that reason, it was considered the ideal construction site for the second Death Star battle station and in turn became the location of the Galactic Civil
War's final battle. The Battle of Endor resulted in the destruction of the Death Star, the slaying of Emperor Palpatine, and the scattering of the Imperial fleet.
Endor's moon (Sanctuary Moon) is home to vast forests of giant trees, many predator species and the tribal Ewoks. The
tree-dwelling Ewoks are curious creatures; they stand about one meter tall, rely on primitive spears and bows for hunting, and dwell in village clusters built high within the
forest's giant trees. Their understanding of forest survival skills are extremely advanced and came in quite useful during the Battle of Endor where they helped a Rebel strike force destroy the Death Star's force field generator.
The Ewok is a modified Wicket Ewok with new torso and paint job. The Glider is attached to the inside of the planet Endor. The glider has lycra painted cloth wings that fold in to close the planet. This is the best of the four Complete Galaxies in my opinion and it is a shame that with such a great item this line was cancelled. Who knows what cool planets could have been in the Star Wars Complete Galaxies?
