Would a desert planet be habitable?

Why are there so many desert planets in Star Wars?

Is Endor possible?

Is bespin possible?

The short answer is yes; you could mine the entire planet. As gas is mined, the mass and radius of Bespin would gradually decrease as to approximately maintain the planet’s density. During this reduction in the planet’s size, the pull of gravity would become weaker and weaker.
