Star Wars: What's the Endurance skill?

[Creamsteak]

I've been looking into the Star Wars Saga Edition game. I don't own the books yet, I'm mostly just shopping to see how its changes work since they seem to get mentioned a lot. I'm looking at a character sheet right now, specifically the skills. Most of these I can pretty much guess what they do (perception, stealth, persuation, initiative) but I don't know what exactly an Endurance check might be.

You know all the things that used to be Con checks - often boosted by the Endurance feat. Well, in Saga, the Endurance skill covers those hazards instead of having them be stat checks.

More importantly, it's also a prereq some of the "I'm really tough" feats like Extra Second Wind and Shake it Off.

Yeah. It's questionable utility (based primarily on DMing style) as a skill is counterbalanced adequately by the supreme awesomeness of Extra Second Wind and Shake It Off.
