Data-tape/Legends

A data-tape, also information tape, was a recording device that could be read by a holoprojector, such as the one standard in R2 units, or a computer terminal.
==History==
The Jedi Order training ship Chu'unthor had many datatapes about Jedi training. When it crashed in 340 BBY, Jedi Master Yoda lead a rescue team to the wreck. He left the datatapes and reader discs about the Jedi, and prophesied a Jedi to defeat the Nightsisters. In 8 ABY, Luke Skywalker fulfilled the prophecy and took the records. In 40 ABY, these were the majority in the collection of Jedi datatapes of the New Jedi Order.Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force
The plans for the first Death Star were recorded on datatapes, which were stolen by a rebel force and provided to Princess Leia Organa and uploaded into R2-D2. Later, the tapes came into the possession of the Rebel Rebellion, and helped in the Battle of Yavin.
==Behind the scenes==
The use of the word "tapes" in A New Hope was in 1977. In the 1970s, tapes were a modern way of recording audio, video, and computer data.
