Watch the epic space battle above Endor from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi as a single scene without the ewoks.

There are many great space battles in the Star Wars franchise but one that always stands out with fans is the final Death Star battle from Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. The one thing however that stands in the way of that battle is that it constantly cuts to the forest moon of Endor to show the audience what is happening with the small rebel group and the ewoks.

Thanks to a very dedicated fan you can now watch the entire space battle with no interruptions! Some of the transitions are not as smooth as others but that did not stop me from really enjoying this video. I love the ewoks but watching this was great.

"The epic space battle above the moon of Endor. The Rebel Alliance gathers up its entire fleet of cruisers and fighters led by Lando Calrissian in the Millennium Falcon and overseen by Admiral Ackbar in the Mon Calamari Cruiser Home One to destroy the second Death Star. Unfortunately by the time they get to the "incomplete/nonoperational" Death Star the shield generator hasn't been disabled by the Rebel ground troops on Endor led by Han Solo. The fleet then encounters a fleet of star destroyers and countless TIE fighters. They soon find out the Death Star is operational as it fires its main laser and destroys the Mon Calamari Cruiser Liberty and an Unidentified MC80 Home One type Star Cruiser. Once the shield is down Lando and Wedge Antilles fly inside the Death Star and destroy the core. During the battle a few A-Wings take out the Super Star Destroyer Executor. Wedge and Lando take out the core and fly out as the second Death Star explodes and the Galactic Empire falls and the New Republic is born."

Enjoy!
