The Databank, formerly found on StarWars.com, was the only official Star Wars database available to the public. Entries were sorted alphabetically within several categories. Each entry is split into three sections (where applicable)—it first describes things as seen in the movies (if at all), then explores additional information from the Expanded Universe, and then finally a look behind the scenes.
Most entries were written by Pablo Hidalgo. The recent What's The Story? feature of Star Wars Hyperspace has allowed fans to write databank entries on the more obscure characters, vehicles, species and locations of the saga. [1]
Following the official Star Wars site's overhaul on September 13, 2011, it was replaced by the Encyclopedia feature, with all original Databank entries made obsolete following the revamping.

April Fools' Day entries On April 1, 2006, StarWars.com added a few entries meant as a joke, which seemed to make the Willow universe part of the Star Wars continuity. On April 1, 2007, Indiana Jones and THX 1138 were added to the list of characters in the "Character Archive" section. Instead of a Databank entry, the links pointed to the official websites for the Indiana Jones series and for the film THX 1138, respectively. Unlike the Willow entries, these links are still active. |
