Hologram Fun World, often abbreviated to simply HFW, was a space station near Koann completely owned, operated, and covered by a single amusement park of the same name.

[edit] Operation
Hologram Fun World's numerous attractions were variations on the use of holograms to create illusionary surroundings, simulating exotic locations or exciting situations. Some of the many attractions on the planet included the Joy Domes and the Anywhere Room, the most popular of HFW's features.
In the first quarter of 22 BBY, a recession in the galactic tourism industry caused a brief plunge in admissions. Queue lines for the Anywhere Room, which once held thousands of tourists, were reduced to, at some points, less than four hundred. This fluctuation was apparently due to a general unwillingness to travel long distances in vacationers around the galaxy. Since the vast majority of HFW's clients must have come from beyond the Core Worlds, this caused a huge dip in profits. Income rose once again, though, with the coming of the mid-year and the leveling-out of the industry.
In 0 ABY, HFW was the secret site of one of the Galactic Empire's Project Starscream experiments. This part of the project produced a device called the "Nightmare Machine". Two young refugees from Alderaan, Zak and Tash Arranda, together with their adoptive "uncle" Mammon Hoole, disrupted the experiment.
[edit] Administration
Hologram Fun World was controlled by a single company that ran the park, led by an Administrator. The central operations were controlled directly from the planet's surface, at a facility called the Adminidome. At the time of the Battle of Geonosis, it was headed by Administrator Graekus Shubelle. The company was at one time considered for investment by Lando Calrissian. Calrissian, inspired by Fun World, would go on to create the SkyCenter Galleria.
