Battle of Death Star III
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Battle of Death Star III was a space battle fought a few months after the Battle of Endor. During the battle, the New Republic's Red Squadron attacked a Death Star-like space station near Endor. The station was defended by a fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers and its contingent of TIE fighters.
A similar weakness to the first Death Star had been discovered in the unfinished superstructure, and the Republic starfighters made their way past the Imperial escorts, fought TIE squadrons and made a trench run to their designated target. The unit was forced to defend a Star Tours travel agency StarSpeeder 3000 after the civilian vessel's inexperienced droid pilot accidentally stumbled into the midst of the battle.
Firing proton torpedoes into a hole similar to the thermal exhaust port on the Death Star I, the starfighters and the Star Tours ship withdrew from the battle, leaving the station to be destroyed.

Behind the scenes
Edit
The Death Star III idea was created to explain why a Death Star is present on the Star Tours ride when both of the stations in the movies were destroyed. However, a third Death Star has yet to be seen, or even mentioned, in canon.
