The Databank
The Databank is the official StarWars.com canonical encyclopedia. It was launched on July 1, 2014, following a design overhaul of the StarWars.com site. The Databank replaced the StarWars.com Encyclopedia, which in turn replaced a previous encyclopedia also called the Databank.

ContinuityEdit
- The "Biography Gallery" featured in Orn Free Taa's entry contains a picture from The Phantom Menace depicting Taa in the Galactic Senate Chamber with two human aides.[1] Although his aides were indeed human in the theatrical release of the movie (played by Chrissie England and Jim Morris), they were replaced by a duo of female Twi'lek for the DVD release.[2]
- Bail Organa's entry lists his height as being 1.91 meters.[3] However, the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded lists Organa's height as being 1.99 meters.[4]
- Despite being a Retail Caucus droid, Battle droid 513 is listed as being nearly a meter taller than the Retail Caucus droid.[5][6]
- Elan Sleazebaggano's entry featured an image of Sleazebaggano with ears.[7] Though Sleazebaggano actually had ears in reference photography, George Lucas changed Sleazebaggano's ears with antennapalps during post-production, causing early toys to featured the character with antennapalps.[8]
- Ord Mantell's entry states that it's the homeworld of the Mikkian species.[9] However, Leland Chee has stated since then that the Mikkians' homeworld is Mikkia.[10]
- Tiplee's entry incorrectly states that her and Obi-Wan Kenobi's mission to capture Darth Maul occurred at Ord Mantell,[11] instead of at Vizsla Keep 09.[12]
- Although both Ponda Baba's and Cornelius Evazan's entries claim that the lightsaber wounds Obi-Wan Kenobi inflicted on Evazan were fatal,[13] the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded stated that Evazan survived the encounter.[4]
- Derek Klivian's entry says that he managed to eject from the cockpit of his T-47 airspeeder before it crashed into the "head" of an All Terrain Armored Transport.[14] The reference book Star Wars: On the Front Lines claims he died. The author of the book, Daniel Wallace clarified that it was an idea of the Lucasfilm Story Group to kill Klivian based on a planned scene from the movie.[15]

The proper Elan has no ears. Reference photography didn't have this digital alteration. Toys had a running change to remove his ears." (screenshot)
