I can think of several reasons beside preference. You say "preference", people go "everyone is not here to please you" and such, especially these topsy-turvy times where trying/asking not to be a jerk makes you the real jerk. Sometimes I feel "homosexuals" unnecessarily makes us the issue that needs special attention, and I like to turn it around by saying non-heterosexuals instead, make the whole thing about their special label, which they're not used to. More importantly, "homosexual" lacks any romantic/affective connotation and automatically exiles the conversation to adult territory. So it's not really as whimsical or arbitrary as some would have you believe, words do carry weight is all Oh please, the dialog itself is unbelievably inflammatory, I'm referring to the options you're given when talking to Juhani. Who wrote that crap? I've lost count of how many times you have the option of calling her a freak, a monster, of telling her how ugly she is and such. You also have the option to kill her on Dantooine or sell her to Xor, not that she would let you. Oh come on! Somewhere in development, a dude clearly had issues with this character. There's an idea for a mod, take all that crap out. Personally, I don't understand, she's an alien, she's supposed to look like a lioness, the mere fact of bringing attractiveness into the conversation is very weird. I get it, she's not the pretty little Human girl, that's why they made one for you, and gave her the name of Bast the Cat Goddess that originally belonged to Juhani. It's a game though, a fantasy world, so there's that, where's the fun in dating the girl they count on you to like based on what they assume are the limits of your imagination? She is a very troubled character, I guess you're just not into that, but she offers a lot more than what you're saying. She gives you a lot of backstory on Revan, the Mandalorian Wars, and the attack on Cathar. You can't get up close and personal with her, you don't even get to see her stammer awkwardly over her feelings for you if you play a male character, but you do get to bond with her. Dak Vesser, Belaya, and Xor are all tied to her. She also has beef with Canderous, some lines can only be unlocked if they're both in your party and react to stuff (video here) On the Leviathan, she's the best choice you've got because she gets to keep her lightsaber. In the Temple of the Ancients, she's the only one beside Jolee that you can take with you. Like you said she is a Jedi character, which makes her handy in combat, but she also uses mind tricks in conversations if no one else in the party has the power.
