A holocron is like an archive of a Force user's consciousness, with knowledge and even hidden powers. Someone can bind their life force to one too. It can act as an encyclopedia, where the person's holographic image retells stories, or can summon the actual spirit of a being bound to it. Many holocrons contain great knowledge. The person's personality of its creator becomes like an AI within it as it interacts with the people who seek the holocron's knowledge.
The Jedi Library on Coruscant contains hundreds of these. This one I created for my fanfic and the character bound his life force to it. Of course, in actuality, it's a fancy lamp 😁 and great decor for my office hehehe

Ah I see, so that's what it is. Which movie is it on? I don't think I ever noticed that. Haha.
The Original Trilogy doesn't show any holocrons. We see some in the prequals, in the Jedi Library. We see a lot in the games, and they are mentioned in the books. A lot of the Jedi holocrons were destroyed during the Jedi Purge of Order 66, that happens in Revenge of the Sith. I'm not sure we see Sith holocrons in the prequals, but we do in the animated series The Clone Wars.
Oh I see. Alright thanks!
