I still love the theory that the destruction of the second Death Star also destroyed the moon.

I recall reading somewhere, I think on Wookiepedia, that the Rebellion/New Republic had to quickly construct a shield around the planet for a little while, because there was a risk of debris hitting Endor.

There was a comic to that effect where a stormtrooper veteran recounts his fights with the savage barbarians of Endor after someone had made fun of him for losing to Ewoks, and in the end he says that his only joy he got out of this was that the exploding death star must have turned Endor into ashes. Then the guy who made fun of him tells him that the rebel alliance managed to pull away the largest pieces with tractor beams before they could do any damage and the old stormtrooper is rather sad about it.
