Holocube

"She's murder on holocubes, that's for sure-not that we've got anything worth putting on one."

―Han Solo referring to Viqi Shesh

The holocube was a hand-sized, six-sided object designed to hold three-dimensional holo images. By moving around the cube, a person could see all aspects of a displayed image. Holocubes also partially acted as deeds to planets, such as Han Solo's deed to Dathomir.

Souvenir holocubes, displaying images of tourist attractions were often sold to visitors such as on the planet Shownar.

Leia Organa Solo and Han Solo also bought one when on Tatooine of Leia's father Anakin Skywalker after he had won the Boonta Eve Classic.
