It was turned into vapor, inhaled and caused severe ling damage to all nearby. It's why Boba Fett wears that goofy helmet.....and why Vader's resperation is so labored. Tusken Raider particles are murder on the lungs after a few years (it's why they wear those goofy masks). I'm not saying they excrete harmful particles, but man, they probably smell really bad. Lousy arabs, always kidnapping white wome...er...did I say "arabs"? I meant "sand people".....yeah, George, "sand people".

I know I am late here, but actually, in the Star Wars circles i hang out in (theforce.net, etc..), the consensus IS that Star Wars is "Science Fantasy" and doesnt have any real basis in real science.
Its pretty much futile to try to analyze Star Wars from a scientific perspective.
Theres a fantasy aspect to the series that other scifi (Star Trek, Stargate, etc) doesnt have.

Yet....those same circles will drone on and on about technological superiority over other genres when it suits them. Yes, it's pointless but most debate over fictional tech is.

In the and, I think that Endor survived precisely because of all those big chunks and lots of debris.
Why? It's simple. Impact of big chunks would've an almost immediate catastrophic impact on the area with Rebel commandos, and small debris would've shielded surface from light.
The fact that we can see trees standing straight and stars while standing on the moon surface, several hours after DS2 explosion certainly suggests that either debris rain was not as deadly as it seemed, or that Rebel fleet indeed managed to shield Endor against most of the damage.

Not to mention THERE WERE TWO AMAZING MOVIES WITH EWOKS ON THEM!!
Which must have occured post Jedi, of course, because otherwise would Wicket have freaked out, if he remembered that little girl and the Wilford Brimley and the speedy rat-monkey?
