- "We just need someone with a datapad and binoculars."
- ―Leia Organa, to Luke Skywalker
A datapad,[1] also known as a tablet,[4] was a small electronic device used for inputting, storing and displaying information.[1] At least some datapads had reflective surfaces. Merei Spanjaf once saw a dim reflection of herself when staring at her datapad in consternation.[5] Additionally, some datapads came with a built-in locator.[6] A training datapad was a type of datapad used for training by aspiring cadets of the Imperial Academy.[7]
