[SPOILERS AHEAD] HOLOCRON DISCUSSION.

[Super]

The specific question I wanna ask to all you Star Wars lore keepers is a very SIMPLE question.

Would Leia and Lukes name be on that Holocron? Yes, or No? Please elaborate how these names were added to the Holocron and when they were added... or how does it work? I would love to know.

Because if we can thank Cal Kestis for keeping the identity of Leia and Luke away from Darth Vader that would be pretty epic.

While it theoretically could be possible, I don’t think so.

Cordova must have grabbed the Holocron (or the information on it) before Order 66, since he saw the event happening in his vision. If he was in Coruscant during Order 66 he would have probably never made it out alive.

Luke and Leia were born after Order 66 had already started, and thus it doesn’t seem likely that their names would be on the list.


One of the developers (don’t remember who) also specified that a Holcron only has information stored that someone puts in it, so it doesn’t automatically either.

There were only two people who knew of the existence of Luke and Leia, Ben Kenobi, and Yoda. Well, and the Organas and Ben and Buru, but they wouln't share, and neither would Obi-wan or Yoda, so there's not reason to expect that their names would be anywhere at all. Vader was told they all died, Luke, Leia, and Amidala. He had no reason not to believe this.

There's no reason for a secret holocron like that to exist to begin with so...Luke & Leia being on it isnt that weird when you consider that.

Yes, it is, and the predominant majority of the fanbase would be up in arms over the retcon if this were actually part of the game. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. No one who made the tape, was involved in making it, would have had any knowledge at all of their existence.

I think the real discussion is why the Holocron was put there in the first place. If the guy can see the future, he would have been able to see what Cal saw and knew that it was a bad idea.

The destruction of the Holocron may yield some bad news for Cal's future.

It's weird and doesn't add up. If their locations were all set and put in the holocron before order 66, then why would they all still be young children now? What system or ability did the jedi use to locate these kids that the sith couldn't?

[kdodds]

More than likely just numbers and covert observation. There can be any number of Jedi, but only two Sith lords at any one time. Think Ben watching over Luke on Tatooine. No magic, no force involved, just encounters with someone "strong in the force" by other masters and padawans. In exactly the same way that Ben and Qui-Gon found Anakin.

It actually does make sense, as this game takes place just 5 years after order 66. Presumably, many of them would have been very young, perhaps even infants, when the holocron was made, otherwise they already would have been among the Jedi during the purge. And this kind of thing is certainly not baseless, I believe that similar databases played a major role in a couple of plotlines in the Clone Wars series.
So, assuming this list was made before the purge, there is no way the maker of the holocron could have known about the existence of Luke and Leia as they weren't born until the purge had officially begun.
