Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles fired the proton torpedoes that destroyed the Death Star, and Luke Skywalker returned from the battle station with word that the Emperor was dead. Rebels and Ewoks danced and celebrated around bonfires through the night.

The Forest Moon was largely spared damage from the Death Star’s explosion, but large chunks of the battle station’s wreckage landed in the oceans of a neighboring moon in the Endor planetary system, known to the Ewoks as Kef Bir. Decades later, Rey would search these gloomy ruins for a Sith wayfinder that had belonged to the Emperor – and Endor’s Ewoks would celebrate the Resistance’s victory at Exegol.
