Discovery Series Ornament – Endor
Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Endor is a release for a forested moon in the Star Wars universe, best known for its appearance in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Covered in dense woodland, towering trees, and rich wildlife, Endor becomes the setting for a major Rebel Alliance mission against the Empire. The moon is home to the Ewoks, a resourceful native species that plays a key role in the story. Its natural environment and tribal culture create a strong contrast to the advanced Imperial technology present on the surface.
The design highlights several recognizable elements from Endor, capturing its forest setting and key moments from the film.
– Ewoks are central to the design, shown as small, hooded inhabitants of the forest moon. Despite their size, they prove to be clever and effective allies. Their presence adds a sense of character and identity to the scene.
– Ewok village is built high among the trees, with wooden platforms, rope bridges, and huts connected across massive trunks. The elevated design keeps the settlement hidden and protected. It reflects the Ewoks’ ability to adapt to their environment.
– AT-ST walker represents the Imperial forces stationed on Endor. This two-legged vehicle is used during the ground battle and stands out against the natural surroundings. Its rigid, mechanical design contrasts sharply with the forest landscape.
– Galactic Empire symbol appears near the title of the ornament. This emblem signifies the presence and control of Imperial forces on the moon. It ties the location to the larger conflict within the Star Wars story.
– Leia and Wicket encounter references the moment when Princess Leia meets the Ewok named Wicket. After being separated and knocked unconscious, Leia awakens to find the cautious Ewok observing her. The two quickly form a connection, and Wicket later helps her reach the Ewok village after distracting an Imperial scout trooper.
– The Endor speeder chase captures one of the most dynamic scenes from the film. High-speed speeder bikes race through the dense forest, weaving between trees at dangerous speeds. This sequence highlights the intensity of the pursuit through Endor’s terrain.
– The Lambda-class T-4a shuttle is shown as part of the Imperial presence on the moon. This tri-wing transport is used to carry troops and personnel to the surface. Its distinct silhouette is instantly recognizable within the Star Wars universe.
