could the imperials be strip mining endor to build the death star? when the rebels enter they could fly over large machinery and numerous quarries.
Well, without the direct rip from Avatar's approach to Hell's Gate(which was done by ILM btw), the idea of Endor providing resources makes sense. Deforestation, strip mining, etc, etc.
But instead of blue cat people we have Ewoks and Star Wars.
