Publisher's summary
''This top-secret cache reproduces highly sensitive intelligence that traces the Rebel Alliance from its formation through its tireless fight against the Empire. From its earliest beginnings in covert opposition to Imperial operations, the Alliance could not trust its most sensitive information to risk of digital interception. Instead, it was kept in a secure case, traveling with key senior Rebel personnel. Lost in the chaos surrounding the Battle of Endor, it was rediscovered many years later by the newly formed Resistance.''

Richly illustrated and full of strategic detail and history, the files also feature additional annotation by Resistance members such as General Leia Organa, Mon Mothma, Poe Dameron, and Admiral Ackbar, making this a crucial read for fans seeking a deeper understanding of the saga.

Continuity

 * On page 14, Hera Syndulla is referred to as Spectre One, when that callsign was attributed to Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels.
 * On page 15, a photo is shown of the Spectres after the Mission to Malachor. This is inconsistent, as the photo was being used by Ahsoka Tano in a document demonstrating the Spectres to Alliance Intelligence. Ahsoka had no contact with the Spectres during the time portrayed in the photo. Additionally, the photo depicts the Spectres as they appeared during season three of Star Wars Rebels, rather than season one, when the mission took place.
 * On page 17, Jun Sato's surname is misspelled as "Soto."
 * On page 18, in a letter to Moff Stattata, Leia Organa states that she arrived on Lothal at the capital; she actually arrived at Jalath.
 * On page 24, Hera Syndulla refers to herself as "Commander Syndulla" when her rank is Captain.
 * On page 25, an image of the Thranta-class corvette from the Star Wars Legends video game, Star Wars: The Old Republic, was used in place of the canon Sphyrna-class corvette.
 * On page 38, the map of the galaxy mistakenly depicts Alderaan as being in the Colonies instead of the Core Worlds and has the labels for the Expansion Region and the Mid Rim improperly switched.
 * On page 146, Sullust is misspelled as "Sollust" at one point.
 * On page 152, the image of the Death Star II's reactor core is upside-down.
 * On page 153, Basteel, Jaresh and Sesid are all misspelled as "Bastille", "Juresh" and "Sessid".
 * Originally, Davits Draven was alive until at least during the rescue of Han Solo and just prior to the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY as Star Wars: The Rebel Files had established. Due to a degree of miscommunication, however, where it seems notes were missed during production of Star Wars: The Rebel Files, Star Wars 54: Hope Dies, Part V, released after the book but developed earlier, had the climactic storytelling where Draven died sacrificing himself as Leia Organa escaped the Executor, Darth Vader's flagship in 1 ABY. Matt Martin specified that for the time being, the comic would take precedence over Draven's entries in Star Wars: The Rebel Files until the book is reprinted in the future.
 * In a similar situation to Davits Draven, Jan Dodonna is stated to be alive post-Hoth despite his death in Star Wars 55: Hope Dies, Part VI. Similarly, the comic book's timeline of events takes priority, and the contradiction is planned to be fixed in later reprints of Star Wars: The Rebel Files.
