Agreed... If you are a high jump ship in a backwater port, E.g. the
Millennium Falcon, Mos Eisley, you're there by accident or there's
some other economic draw. As GM you can use that to your
advantage. I.e. your player characters J-3 passage from a place where
J-3 passage makes no sense but the Imperials are chasing the transport
because of smuggling.
