Summary
After the Clone Wars， the Galactic Empire spared no expense to build a massive fleet of warships to enforce Imperial rule， intimidate defenseless worlds， and destroy all opposition。 However， the Imperial Navy underestimated Rebel Alliance fighter pilots， who flew X-wing， Y-wing， A-wing， U-wing and B-wing starfighters， and whatever else they could obtain to fight their Imperial enemies。 Decades later， Resistance pilots would fly next-generation versions of Rebel starfighters against the First Order。
The Rebel Starfighters Owners’ Workshop Manual presents a thorough history of the starfighters that served the Rebel Alliance and the Resistance。 The history includes design origins， production， and modifications for each Rebel starfighter， and is fully illustrated with numerous photographs， schematics， exploded diagrams， and computer-generated artwork by Star Wars vehicle experts Chris Reiff and Chris Trevas。 Text is by Ryder Windham， author and co-author of more than 70 Star Wars books。 This Haynes Manual is the most thorough technical guide to Rebel starfighters available， and is fully authorized and approved by Lucasfilm。

When I was a young boy this book would have been a dream come true - after seeing the first 3 instalments all I wished for was to seem more of the incredible space ships which up till then we had never really seen。 True in the late 70s and 80s there were other science fiction films but they either were super realistic or little more than comic book realisations。 The majority of spaceships on book covers were the impossible creations of Chris Foss （who I have amazingly fond memories of） but none When I was a young boy this book would have been a dream come true - after seeing the first 3 instalments all I wished for was to seem more of the incredible space ships which up till then we had never really seen。 True in the late 70s and 80s there were other science fiction films but they either were super realistic or little more than comic book realisations。 The majority of spaceships on book covers were the impossible creations of Chris Foss （who I have amazingly fond memories of） but none where like those from Star WarsNow as the film series closes （ready for then next one to start no doubt） I finally get to see the craft in the details the creators intended and suddenly all the memories and dreams come flooding back。Today it seems that anything is possible and that finally we are starting to see books that finally make small boys dreams come true 。。。more

The original Expanded Universe lore on Rebel starfighters largely goes back to the earliest material for the original D6 Star Wars RPG， expanded a bit by additional material from the X-Wing computer games and early novels。 This canon remained largely unchanged until the Clone Wars cartoon， which didn’t always match up exactly with previous canon when it came to the history of the Z-95 Headhunter and the Y-Wing。The de-canonizing of the Expanded Universe merely continued the changes begun with the The original Expanded Universe lore on Rebel starfighters largely goes back to the earliest material for the original D6 Star Wars RPG， expanded a bit by additional material from the X-Wing computer games and early novels。 This canon remained largely unchanged until the Clone Wars cartoon， which didn’t always match up exactly with previous canon when it came to the history of the Z-95 Headhunter and the Y-Wing。The de-canonizing of the Expanded Universe merely continued the changes begun with the Clone Wars。 The Rebels cartoon in particular established new canon concerning the origins of the A-Wing and the B-Wing that paid homage to the old canon， while diverging from it in ways that allowed for new stories to be told。This book takes that new canon and adds back in some of the older canon to make a fusion that tends to make greater overall sense。 The story behind the Y-Wing in particular brings things full-circle back to the original canon while incorporating the drifts that came about from changes made for the Clone Wars。 While there are a few minor issues （why were the Y-Wings that the Rebels stole in Rebels already stripped of armor when the lore says that was a change made by the Rebellion？）， overall this is the best iteration of the lore since the original presentation in the first Star Wars RPG。 。。。more
