Set among towering redwoods in Redwood National Park, this site stands as a tangible bridge between cinematic lore and wild northern California landscapes. The area was used to depict the forest moon Endor, home to the Ewoks, where the film crew choreographed woodland-quiet atmospheres under colossal trees that seem to touch the clouds. Visitors today walk amid the same ancient groves that gave the Star Wars saga its mossy, cathedral-like backdrop, evoking a sense of mystery and adventure. The air is cool and fragrant with pine, and the quiet of the forest contrasts with the small traces of film history visible near the trails and overlooks.
