>>13396390No, they're called Holograms, made using Holocameras and are stored or released using a Holoprojector. In the case of astromechs, they used a holodisk.
Just the same that Holocrons can only be activated by force sensitivity people, even data holocrons need partial force sensitivity.
I will grant you that a lot of holograms were used on the Holonet.
