Twelve Galactic Profiles flashcards, a set of 3 exclusive premium stickers, and a reprinted pre-existing sticker book from Dorling Kindersley were also included. The service promised "bonus gifts" each month such as wearable items or a timeline poster. At the launch of the subscription service, monthly drops for all films in the prequel trilogy and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope were planned.

It was written by S.T. Bende with art by Brian Rood. Also included were twelve The Phantom Menace-themed flashcards, also written by Bende, and Ultimate Sticker Book: Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith from Dorling Kindersley.
