A hologram was a three-dimensional visual projection of an object or data, most commonly including people, maps, technical plans, or other information. The type and quality of the holographic image projected varied widely, and holograms could be static or moving, live or recorded, with or without sound, large or small, and colored or monochrome. Many of these attributes were determined by the.
Throughout the Star Wars saga, no matter the era, no matter who's broadcasting, blue holograms are exceedingly common. Additionally, Snoke's hologram occasionally flashes blue. However, multi- and full-color holograms do exist.
If these more advanced holograms exist, why aren't they more commonly used? And what exactly makes the holograms blue in the first place? I'm asking why doesn't every hologram in Star Wars use colour if this small little hologram table game can use it. This is the only time I've ever really seen a hologram that is a colour other than blue. Because of this, holograms come in many different shapes, sizes, and image qualities in Star Wars, from distorted blue-tinted projections to more advanced full-color versions.
Their uses extended beyond just communication, with further uses in mission planning and espionage. I noticed that in TPM there are two basic types of holo effects. One type is a full color, although blue tinted, hologram effect.
There is also a blue tinted black and white holo effect as well. Perhaps these different types of holograms represent different levels of Star Wars universe technology, like color and b/w TV in our day. Why the hell is pretty much every holographic image used in SW mostly one color, usually blue? We see they can use incredibly realistic holographic images, like in the Clone Wars where Obi.
Battlefield holograms are fairly common in the Star Wars saga. Here's an alternate paint scheme for Director Krennic from the Deploy the Garrison squad pack for Star Wars: Shatterpoint. Of all the technological achievements of the Star Wars universe - faster-than-light space travel, antigravity, blue milk.
Which makes it a bit puzzling why holograms are used so much in Star Wars. Holograms have also been used in the movies to show battle strategies and had a wider range of color and much less flicker. The holographic disguise matrix, more than any other holographic application, showcases the technology's remarkable potential.
When enhanced, 'Star Wars' holograms can closely resemble reality, making them nearly indistinguishable from physical beings.
