Nathalie Cox

"The way I saw Juno at the very beginning in The Force Unleashed is that she was this girl who was brought up in a strict, regimented way: you go to school, you get good grades, and you live life in a certain way. She was focused, almost to a fault, extremely intelligent, and she rose through the Imperial ranks very quickly. During the course of The Force Unleashed the rug gets pulled out from under her. She's branded a traitor, she's lost her way to a degree, and for the first time in her life she's unsure of herself. Yet at the same time, this guy comes along and she begins to have genuine feelings —romantic feelings— for him; feelings she's never had for another human being."
