Why are there so many desert planets in Star Wars?

In terms of practical effects, deserts are not that difficult to get wrong as you just need a lot of sand or dry land, open skies and no trees to worry about.

Is Endor possible?

Endor is theoretically possible, provided the gas giant is close to its sun’s habitable zone. With a Sun-like star, Endor’s host planet would have to be in the “Goldilocks Zone” of its host star for a moon to be habitable in the way displayed in Return of the Jedi.

Is bespin possible?
