"The holocrons contain the most closely guarded secrets of the Jedi Order."
Jocasta Nu[src]

Holocrons were artifacts used by both the Jedi and Sith that contained ancient lessons or valuable information in holographic form. They appeared as palm-sized, glowing polyhedrons of crystalline material and hardwire. Jedi holocrons were stored in the Jedi Archives in the Jedi Temple, which also contained the restricted Holocron Vault. During the Clone Wars, Cad Bane executed a daring heist to steal one of these artifacts from the Vault.

Sith holocrons also existed. They functioned similarly to their Jedi counterparts, and contained the ancient secrets of the dark side and the Sith Order.[1]

Holocrons could only be activated and used through the power of the Force.[2]

Some time after the end of the Clone Wars, Grakkus the Hutt obtained a number of Jedi Holocrons that he kept on Nar Shaddaa.[3] These were later taken by Darth Vader to further impede possible Jedi training.
