This thread is for questions about Lucas Licensing's Holocron continuity database.
Do not use this forum for your specific continuity questions which would be better addressed in the Welcome some BCaT VIPs or the Books, Comics & Television Questions forums.

What is the Holocron?
The Holocron is an internal database maintained by Lucas Licensing that tracks all the fictional elements created for the Star Wars universe. The database includes material from the films, books, comics, videogames, trading cards, roleplaying games, websites, toys, cartoons, and just about every officially sanctioned fictional element of the Star Wars universe.

When was [the Holocron] activated?
The Holocron was created in early 2000. We started by importing all the information from the Star Wars Encyclopedia and Behind the Magic and Insider's Guide CD-ROMs and it's been rapidly growing and evolving ever since.

Is there any way to put on an online version, that people could browse over for fun?
There are no current plans to make the Holocron available to the public either in an online or published version. In addition to being an archive for information that has already released, the Holocron is a tool to track everything that is currently in development. Information is entered at the earliest stages, so there is information about products that wont? be released until years later. The Holocron also contains certain discussions that are clearly not meant for public consumption (certain alien anatomy discussions immediately come to mind).

1) "Do not use this forum for your specific continuity questions which would be better addressed in the Welcome some BCaT VIPs or the Books, Comics & Television Questions forums."
2) It doesn't hurt to put a blank space after a spoiler, in addition to a space before.

Does this mean I can ask the question, "Why isn't the Mandalorian battles in the Clone wars not continuity?"

But not necessary if you don't want to use spoiler space afterwards. Our spoiler space policy is that it's only necessary before the spoiler, but you can use it after the spoiler if you really want to.

Don't be greedy. You've got a whole thread for that.

But Taste won't go to that thread. I hope he's not scared I'll beat him down with my words on how the Mandalorians in Marvel should be continuity. I just want to know why they aren't, and why they can't be.

Please, stick to your own thread. If he wants to go there and give you and answer, then he will.

Tasty Taste,
I read an Insider interview with Alan Dean Foster, who said that "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" is in the continuity only up to Luke and Leia's confrontation with Vader. True?
And if not, does this mean Leia actually did cut off Vader's arm?

 "Certain alien anatomy discussions!!??"
There's an Essential Guide we can probably do without...
Back on topic: does the Holocron contain any listings of individual capital ships that have been identified by name or hull number and their current disposition/ultimate fate? Sort of like an official version of Kaelis's Asset Tracking site...

So then how does the story end?

I don't think the Holocron is as extensive with some of its older entries as Asset Tracking. Each newly named ship, however minor, is given its own entry with a full description, and as the ship's history evolves, the description is updated. Any major stats that are available (ie size, manufacturer, weapons, etc.)are also noted. If an image is available, we will include that as well. But for older entries, such as minor ships from the West End Games RPG or the X-wing videogames, the ships are lumped together in a single entry by source, with little or no details. If those ships are used in a later source, they are then given their own entry.
