The skirmish near the Sun Palace was an altercation that occurred during the Odra crisis on the Forest Moon of Endor in 3 ABY. The fight pitted four Ewoks from Bright Tree Village against a small number of Iceheads from the Snow Palace. The Ewoks' objective was to reach the Sun King's palace, where they hoped to aid the Coalition of the Freezing. The Iceheads' goal, on the other hand, was to capture the Ewoks and bring them back to the Snow King.

The skirmish took place aboard the Ewoks' flying leaf and on the ground. Due to a stratagem used by Wicket W. Warrick, two of the Iceheads fell from the leaf and were chased away by a snow monster. Nevertheless, Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka also fell from the leaf and was captured by two other Icehead soldiers. They returned with her to the Snow Palace, and the remaining Ewok forces pursued them to rescue her.
