The Death Star could not have been levitated by the force field from Endor's moon. If you recall, every time a ship wanted to enter the area around the Death Star or proceed to the moon, the force field had to be lowered.

The answer is very simple. The Death Star was placed in lunarsynchronous? orbit around Endor.

From: Craig Stanfill <craig.umcp-cs@UDel-Relay> It is probably a little silly to go trying to figure this stuff out; 5 will get you 10 Lucas himself neither knows but cares. But I can't resist. If I were building a Deathstar, and wanted to have a stationary force-shield generator under me all the time, I would build it at the L5 point near a moon rotationally synchronized with its primary. This would work; the Deathstar would be in a stable orbit, and always directly 'above' the projector. Is there any evidence which would support or refute this? Does it really matter? (probably not).

AHH. Article 'Levitating Death Stars' from sri-arpa. 0 lines. At last a cogent, logical and appropriate posting about Lucas-lala-land films. I am so happy.
