Jedi Holocron
Holocrons are ancient repositories of knowledge and wisdom that can only be accessed by those skilled in the Force. Jedi use them to record and preserve their teachings, creating a record for future generations seeking to understand the mysteries of the Force. During the time of the Republic, countless holocrons were stored on Coruscant; after the Jedi purge, however, they became scarce remnants of an era long gone.

HISTORY
FALL OF THE REPUBLIC
The Jedi Order kept holocrons containing centuries of lore secured within the archives. Some holocrons contained Sith lore and secret teachings; to protect Jedi against the potential dangers of this information, access to this holocron vault was carefully controlled and limited to Jedi Masters. In a daring raid during the Clone Wars, Cad Bane stole a holocron from the vault.
Holocrons could only be opened by using the Force. Bolla Ropal died rather than help Bane open the holocron he stole, but Anakin Skywalker was forced to assist the ruthless hunter. Bane then accessed critical information about the galaxy’s Force-sensitive children by inserting a kyber memory crystal into the holocron.
THE DARK TIMES
A generation later, Ezra Bridger proved his innate strength with the Force by opening a holocron he’d stolen from Kanan Jarrus. Impressed by Ezra’s abilities, Kanan offered to train the boy in the ways of the Jedi.
