Holothriller

Holothrillers were a holoshow genre that usually invoked a sense of thrills and featured a lot of action.

During a briefing in 1 BBY relating to discoveries that might link to the Celestial-Rakata Conflict, Imperial Navy Admiral Conan Antonio Motti mockingly stated to Dr. Insmot Bowen, a researcher for pre-Republic era studies at the Obroan Institute for Archaeology giving the briefing, that he re-evaluated his expertise to be for holothrillers as well as for science fiction.

By 6 ABY, holothrillers were also made relating to Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.

Behind the scenes
Holothrillers were first mentioned in the book Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor by Matt Stover. Stover in a blog post implied that the events of Shadows of Mindor itself had been an in-universe holothriller. Their equivalent in real life would be action-thrillers.
