Just Kidding...
Actually, I remember reading the arguments that the Death Star explosion would result in radiation or something like that killing all life on Endor. Fortunately, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away, Death Stars don't have radiation to give off when they explode. And Ewoks are almost indestructable anyway. After all, in a big battle, only one died.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Yeah--it would have plunged it into a nuclear winter that killed them all! Its called the theory of the Endorian Holocaust, and i believe it has a rather lengthy entry in wookiepedia.

Extrapolating the size of the pieces seen from the POV shot of Han on Endor, there would have been multiple pieces many miles across that would have impacted the planet, in addition to the thousands of smaller ones.

Assuming the DS chunk were moving at a good astronomical speed to actually provide that kind of energy.

* The explosion came from the main reactor at the center of the sphere - not from the center of mass. This means that most of the Death Star's mass (80%?) must have been hurled outwards, away from Endor.
* Because the Death Star was orbiting Endor, it is reasonable to expect that a good portion of its mass after the explosion would continue in the same orbit.
* The force of the explosion would reasonably launch debris into new orbits around Endor.
* Some debris is not moving fast enough to orbit the moon, but will eventually land after a long time after at least a quarter of a revolution over the moon. Much of this will fall on the other side of the moon from the Ewok village.
* Remaining debris pointing towards the planet will be spread evenly towards the entire hemisphere of the moon.
* Only a small portion of the total debris will fall over the location of the shield generator. This debris originates mostly from the Death Star's equator. I estimate that this remainder would be less than 5% of the station's original mass.
Remember also that the Death Star despite of its size consists mostly of empty space.

Now, if I can come up with something to get rid of the Gungans.... oh, I know! The "sando aqua monster" turned to them as alternate food source---YES!

No, no no... the ewoks ARE the result of the previous radiation fallout after ANH. They used to all be tall, handsome humans. In episode 9, Hans Solo looks like an ewok too.

Think about it: Endor and Kashyyyk look an awful lot alike...
