Bodo Baas's holocron

Bodo Baas' holocron was a holocron made by Jedi Master Bodo Baas around 600 BBY. Baas was descended from Vodo-Siosk Baas, who made a holocron of his own. Bodo had inherited it from others, but filled it with his own stories and knowledge and established himself as its Gatekeeper.

During the Great Jedi Purge, Emperor Palpatine executed Jedi Master Ashka Boda and captured the holocron of Bodo Baas. Palpatine possibly used the secret in the holocron to cheat death with the dark side and cloning technology, and he recorded some of the holocron's secrets in his Book of Anger.

In 10 ABY, Leia Organa Solo found the holocron when she confronted the reborn Emperor on Byss. When Leia escaped, leaving Luke Skywalker to finish off the clone, she activated the holocron on board the Millennium Falcon and listened to Bodo's version of the downfall of Ulic Qel-Droma. Later she used the holocron again to ask about Luke's future, but Bodo revealed that it was too cloaked in mists and shadows to tell.

Later, Luke learned from the holocron that ancient Jedi artifacts were possibly located on Ossus. Before heading out with Kam Solusar to investigate, Kam also encountered the holocron. Rather unimpressed with the small cube he was taken aback when it sensed him and activated. The image of Baas gave some cryptic wisdom, and instructed Kam and his fellow Jedi to have patience.

Unfortunately, the holocron was destroyed by Exar Kun on Yavin 4 when Luke Skywalker was trying to solve the mysterious identity of the Sith Lord.
