Golden One

Canon Legends version → Linked from 24 articles

The Golden One was a deity worshipped by the Ewok species of the forest moon of Endor. According to Ewok legend, the Golden One came from the sky to Endor, banished the darkness that engulfed it, and brought light to the moon, allowing their civilization to flourish. Eventually, to preserve balance he struck a deal with the darkness so that both presided over Endor in equal parts, in a constant cycle of day and night. In doing so, the Golden One retreated to the heavens. Thousands of years later, when the golden-colored 3PO-series protocol droid C-3PO came to Endor, the Ewoks of the Bright Tree Village believed he was the Golden One.
