Well remember Darth Ultron, you are that solo player. You are the odd one out who we spend time and energy connecting with the "good players", which is the other posters who have more standard play-styles. Yes the analogy is not perfect, but both are cases where (if handled properly) including someone who is a little off-beat of the others can benefit the situation.

You can spend 30 seconds establishing the connection to the local Jawa's which can become a plot point or "resource" for later in the campaign. Maybe they can get something fixed, or get something smuggled in that they need.
