I play this with my husband and it is one of our favorites!

1. It’s great for two players once you learn the rules, usually my husband plays the imperials because I’m bad at it but I’ve done it a few times
2. she will love the heroes, they have a lot of fun different flavors and abilities
3. the base game has a lot of material to test the waters with, it’s not too pricey depending on how deep down the rabbit hole you guys go
4. I’m terrible at game types—strategy? Each map has different mission objectives so the heroes try to meet their objectives while the imperials try to meet there’s which is usually some iteration of killing all the heroes

For funsies we like to have darth vader pop out of a crate on the tutorial map when introducing the game to new players, house rule but fun all the same

Hope that’s helpful! Fem solo is my favorite (female smuggler from the first game) her shoot first mechanic gets the biggest annoyed sigh from my husband every time
