HoloNet News was an official Star Wars website, which was created in order to build hype for the 2002 theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. The site consists of various in-universe news articles detailing galactic events leading up to the beginning of the film. The site and its articles were authored by Pablo Hidalgo and Paul Ens, with illustrations by Joe Corroney. In October 2013, the HoloNet News website was shut down and its contents were redirected to StarWars.com.
