Hologram disc
"I seek knowledge. Bring me holodiscs, and I will trade with you."
―Dazur Dar[1]

Hologram discs,[2] also known simply as holodiscs,[1] holodisks,[3] or holotape[4] were a type of storage device onto which holograms could be recorded.

History

During the Clone Wars, Senator Padmé Amidala went on a mission to Cato Neimoidia where she downloaded the tactical coordinates of a new Separatist droid foundry that was being bankrolled by the InterGalactic Banking Clan onto a hologram disc, proving that Senator Rush Clovis, representative of the Banking Clan in the Galactic Senate, was conspiring with the Separatists.[2]

Bridger family

Ezra Bridger found a holodisk in his parent's old holotransmitter.[5] His friend Sabine Wren cleaned it and saw it containing a holographic picture of him and his parents. She showed it to Bridger as a belated birthday present.[6]

By the time of the late Galactic Civil War, holodiscs were the preferred data storage system in the Anoat sector, and they could be used as a type of currency.[1] The sector's Data Seekers would trade secrets recorded on such discs.[7]

Behind the scenes

Hologram discs were first mentioned in Han Solo at Stars' End, a 1979 Star Wars Legends novel written by Brian Daley as the first entry in the The Han Solo Adventures trilogy.[8] They became canon when one appeared in "Senate Spy," the fourth episode of the canon animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' second season.[2]
