10 Deadliest Planets In Star Wars

Ten places you don't want to end up in a Galaxy far, far away....

By Eden Luke McIntyre /

The Star Wars saga has taken us to some of the most spectacular worlds in all of sci-fi, but not all of them are Galactic beauty spots. With constant space battles, brutal lightsaber duels and vicious bounty hunters, even the Galaxy's unique planets aren't particularly safe places to be.

The most infamous rebels have braved these worlds and the most feared Sith Lords have called them home. Daring missions have played out on these remote outposts, and only the most powerful have survived their harsh environments.

From fiery death pits to deadly underworlds, unpredictable forests to blistering deserts, these are the Ten Deadliest Planets in Star Wars you definitely don't want to visit.

This list is only focusing on the Star Wars TV Shows and Films, so no expanded media because that's worth a separate list. We also won't be including satellites or space stations - even if they could be mistaken for moons.

Grab your trusty blaster, your all-terrain gear and read on to discover our choices for the most wretched hives of scum and villainy in all of the Galaxy.

10. Forest Moon Of Endor

With its dense forests and sparkling rivers, you would think that this remote Outer Room moon would be a pleasant place to set up camp and not one of the most dangerous locales in the Galaxy.

Near the end of the Galactic Civil War, the Forest Moon of Endor played host to the Empire and their powerful field generator for the newly constructed Death Star II. In near orbit with the planet, the operational Death Star could easily turn the moon to rubble in an instant.

Despite the field generator being heavily protected by the Empire's forces, it wasn't the Stormtroopers you had to worry about.

Don't let the loveable, teddy bear-like Ewoks fool you - they're lethal enough to take down the Empire. Armed with only booby-traps, spears, rocks, and the tactical advantage of their forest, these cute creatures were feral warriors with an unlikely upper hand.

Becoming lost in their trees, you could easily suffer the fate of being hung upside down and eaten by various carnivorous lifeforms. A wrong turn in the woods could lead you off a steep cliff or alert nearby Imperial Speeder Bikes. If you hear heavy footsteps in the distance - don't worry - it'll either be a monstrous Rakazzak Beast or an Imperial AT-ST Walker coming to gun you down.

Avoid the thick foliage, deadly fungi, omnipresent Empire and killer natives (unless you can pass as a God).

Galactic Travel Advice: Familiarise yourself with the locals.
