"Inform the commander that Lord Vader's shuttle has arrived."
―Lieutenant Endicott[src]

Endicott, a Human male lieutenant of the Galactic Empire, served aboard the second Death Star battlestation as a docking bay technician by 4 ABY, a position he received after graduating third in his class from the prestigious Imperial Academy of Carida. Endicott oversaw the unexpected arrival of the Dark Lord Darth Vader's personal shuttle aboard the Death Star shortly before the Battle of Endor.

Biography

"Sir, the deflector shield is down, and we've lost all contact with the generating station."
"Position the station to blow up the moon."
"Commence rotation of main batteries."
―Lieutenant Endicott and Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod, during the Battle of Endor[src]

The Human male Endicott was an orphan who attended the prestigious Academy of Carida,[1] the toughest Imperial training facility in the galaxy.[2] After graduating third in his class from the Academy, Endicott was offered a docking bay officer position on the second Death Star battlestation, in construction over the remote Forest Moon of Endor.[3]

In early 4 ABY, Endicott, a lieutenant,[1] was on duty within the Death Star's control room, supervising a group of controllers monitoring the battlestation's surrounding space traffic, when he oversaw the arrival of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader's personal shuttle aboard one of the Death Star's hangars. Vader's visit came completely unannounced in an effort to remedy the Death Star's lagging construction schedule. Once Endicott realized that an approaching shuttle bearing a class-one priority ranking and requesting for the Death Star to deactivate its deflector shield was carrying the Dark Lord, he ordered a nearby shield operator to notify Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod, the Death Star's commander, of their distinguished guest's arrival. Endicott then proceeded to head toward the docking bay and Vader's shuttle.[4]

During the subsequent Battle of Endor, the climactic confrontation between the Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Endicott was again present within the Death Star's control room, serving under Jerjerrod's direct command. He stood near Jerjerrod when Emperor Palpatine, also present aboard, issued the order for the Death Star to first fire its superlaser upon the attacking Alliance Fleet, revealing to the Rebels the battlestation's operational status.[5]

As the battle raged, the Emperor commanded Jerjerrod to use the Death Star to blow up the Endor moon should the Rebels succeed in destroying the shield generator there protecting the battlestation from direct assault, which indeed soon occurred.[4] Upon seeing that the shield was down, Endicott immediately notified Jerjerrod, adding that the Death Star had lost contact with the generating station. As instructed, Jerjerrod then ordered Endicott to position the Death Star to destroy the moon, which Endicott relayed to a nearby gunner.[6] Before Jerjerrod could execute the order to obliterate Endor, however, the Rebels instead destroyed the Death Star, killing the Emperor, Vader, and Jerjerrod in a sweeping victory.[4]

Personality and traits

"Vader!"
―Endicott's surprised reaction to Darth Vader's arrival[src]

Endicott, a docking bay technician,[1] displayed a certain shock of recognition, exclaiming Vader's name aloud to himself, upon realizing that the Dark Lord had suddenly and unexpectedly arrived aboard the Death Star.[4] Unlike many Imperial officers,[7][8][5] Endicott did not speak with a Coruscanti accent.[5]

Behind the scenes

The Endicott character appears briefly, without name, in the opening scene of the 1983 film Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi as the docking bay control officer who orders a subordinate to inform Moff Jerjerrod of Darth Vader's arrival aboard the Death Star. The character appears again, fleetingly, in the background of the battlestation's fire control room as the Death Star first fires its superlaser during the Battle of Endor.[5]

Endicott was first identified by name and provided a brief backstory on the "Lieutenant Endicott" card as part of the July 2000 Death Star II Limited expansion set of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game.[1] The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, published in 2008, later designated an individual entry for the Endicott character based on the original SWCCG information.[3]
