I call this tool the Archive of the Whills as a small homage to the deeper mythic frame of Star Wars, where history is never just a list of facts, but a living record of people, planets, battles, beliefs, and legends passed down across generations. 

It also nods to R2-D2, the saga’s great unsung archivist, a little astromech who carries messages, maps, secrets, memories, and the hope of the galaxy from one era to the next. Like R2, this archive is built to connect fragments into meaning: Jedi lore, Sith history, Rebel sacrifice, Mandalorian culture, droids, creatures, ships, worlds, and the strange little details that make Star Wars feel endless.
