- "Where are those information tapes?"
- ―Darth Vader[src]
A data tape, also information tape, was a recording device that could be read by a holoprojector, such as the one standard in R2 units, or a computer terminal. The plans for the first Death Star were recorded on data tapes, which were stolen by Princess Leia Organa and uploaded into R2-D2. Later, the tapes came into the possession of the Rebellion, and helped in the Battle of Yavin.
