I am not well versed in the realm of Star Wars games but is there a game like Injustice where you can have 1v1s with other Star Wars characters?

Would you dissolve the ruusan reformation banning a military? Would you push for a restructuring of the republic or senate? Would you begin a campaign rooting out corruption in the senate? Would you attempt to ease tensions between the outer rim and the core? What would you do?
Well I'm back, sorry I'm not that active on here, im mostly on the NINJAGO wiki
But have any of you seen the remade version of Ahsoka? Some edited it and had the Anakin vs. Ahsoka battle IN THE SITH TEMPLE FROM REBELS EEEEK, I WATCHED IT LIKE 3+ TIMES ALREADY AND IT'S SO GOOD

Ok, so having reread the short story "Interlude at Darkknell" by Timothy Zahn and Michael Stackpole, Garm was nearly assassinated by agents working for Armand Isard, who is defined in that story as the Director of Imperial Intelligence. In the story, it also implies that Garm was not yet an active revolutionary or a full part of the Rebellion. My concern is on the fact that Isard was the one to have ordered the assassination on the senator. In other areas of the EU, it is strongly implied that Imperial Intelligence is a military agency, similar to the GRU, and was actively engaged in protecting the Empire on a defense basis through counterintelligence operations and active measures against resistance and rebel targets. The civilian counterpart to II was the ISB, which was explicitly established as a politically-focused secret police agency akin to the Gestapo or KGB. Given the nature of the target, it struck me as odd that the authors decided to utilize Intelligence to assassinate Garm when writing the story rather than ISB. The operation seems more like one that would be carried out by the secret police, as Garm was a senator. After all, it was ISB that attempted to arrest Mothma according to the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook.
This got me thinking about the nature of the Empire's intelligence and security apparatus and how numerous, and I mean numerous, authors either confused the two, combined them, or forgot about one or the other completely. In fact, it seems that outside of the WEG sourcebooks, ISB was basically not mentioned other than another one of Zahn's stories "Allegiance". The Imperial Sourcebook clearly states that the two were established to counterweight the other, and that book was written back in 1989, before the bulk of the EU material was released in the 90s and early 2000s, and I know they were provided with an abundance of material from WEG, per their own admission as well as the fact that they used so many other elements from those books.
Why did military intelligence attempt an assassination on a sitting senator rather than ISB?
Why was Armand Isard labeled both "Director of Imperial Intelligence" in Interlude at Darkknelland"Internal Security Director" in the X-Wing novels? Was he director of both? How would that have worked with their intentional rivalry? Was Ysanne also head of both? If not, that leads me to the next question:
Where was ISB following the Emperor's death, and why would they have tolerated Ysanne Isard assuming control of Coruscant? I mean, the two agencies were supposed to be rivals after all...
I am interested to hear your thoughts.

While reading Plagueis back in September I did quite a lot of art. (Mainly doing them to help motivate me to finish the book.) So here they are. This will be quite a long post.
1: This is Plagueis Vs Venamis, and yeah, it ain't great. This was from before reading the book and I kept listening to Plagueis vs Venamis. This was still around the time I was awful at drawing.
2: Now before I read it I did a piece on Plagueis himself based on his miniatures figure and card.
3: Onto the ones I did while reading. Here is Plagueis and Palpatine in the opening scene from the book in the prologue. I'm quite pleased with how this turned out.
4: Once I finished Chapter 1 I drew Plagueis's wearing his enviroment suit from the chapter. I am very pleased with his face.
5: Much simpler, Plagueis travelling in Chapter 2.
6: Here is what I did for Chapter 3. Probably one of the worst ones I did while reading the book, the Woebegone. Honestly looks way more like a fish, especially with the windshield at the bottom looking like a mouth,
7: Here is what I did for Chapter 4, again this is probably one of the worst ones. Plagueis doesn't really look like Plagueis. I think the best part about it is the Zabrak that I can't remember the name of.
8: This one is one I am very happy with, for Chapter 5 I did 11-4D. Now it is only clarified in the second hald of Part Three in the book that 11-4D has something like four or eight arms rather than six, but given his hands are modular, I don't see why his arms can't be either. I also decided to make his neck his vocabulator as why not? Makes a nice change from it being near the mouth
9: Now here is the much better Plagueis vs Venamis I did. Still not great, but compared to the first this is much better. If I have one overall problem, it is probably that the lightsabers look look like swords.
10: At this point I pretty much stopped drawing and started fully focusing on reading, but I did do the occasional pieces on chapters here for example is another portrait of Plagueis based on his described look in Chapter 23. I also went freelance with the transpirator here making it fit the injuries I envisioned him receiving while still fitting the described transpirator and the one shown on the miniatures figure. It was just natural to make it so he has a metal plate covering his missing jaw and neck. I am very happy with how this turned out, though I did just reuse the previous Plagueis portrait I did and modify it. Also around this point I stated experimenting with colour. But nothing extreme like my Sutekh one I'd do later on. (Sutekh gave me more than one firsts in my drawings, such as full colour, shading, and backgrounds.)
11: This is another one of the rough ones I did. I think it is fine, but definitely could've been better. This was really the first time I was drawing a proper up close pose that you'd have to believe was animated, and it wasn't best, but it was fine.
12: Here is my interpretation of Tenebrous and Venamis. As stated by Tenebrous in the book the Sith no longer wear armour and instead wear robes. And nowhere is it made clear if Tenebrous actually needed a transpirator to survive, so I designed him like this. He and Venamis do look a little goofy given how flat their faces look, but I am still quite proud of they turned out. And if you look closely at Tenebrous, you'll notice he has the same cloak buckle that Palpatine would wear during his time as Emperor and during the clone wars under his identity of "Darth Sidious".
Venamis I don't have a whole lot to say on. I already had known what I envisioned him as--wearing a boiler suit and black coat--going into the book.
13: Here is the same thing I had done for Tenebrous and Venamis but instead with the Maladians impersonating the Encanted Circle. By this point I think had finished the book, but I was still drawing some stuff from it. I had actually forgotten I did this. However, looking at it now I realise I didn't actually give a back to the cloaks if you look at their legs. Whoopsie!
14: Again, yet another Maladian fight scene, this one turned out much better, and was also much simpler to do. Plagueis is looking his best outside of the portraits and prologue pieces I did with him. The atomised Maladians can be quite hard to spot at times outside of the raw file from what I've found. The running Maladian does also look a little goofy with how his cloak is flowing, I still need to figure that out. Overall I am very pleased with this.
And that is all the pieces I did for Plagueis. I may do more in the future, only time will show.
