He's wanted for a crime by the Empire. It should be one that isn't a crime under the Rebels (i.e. Lots of dictatorships hate the people who point out they are incompetent) or some similar reason, he is no longer legally allowed in society in the Empire and any attempts to return are way worse than leaving the Rebels. Perhaps he's an arms dealer who sold unknowingly to Rebellion buyers or perhaps he is just a poor guy being chased by troopers for selling death-sticks (when he was on his way home to rethink his life no less) and stowed away on the force transport that got him outta there... which was the rebel ship that is now in way over it's head...

Either way... the Rebels don't care about his criminal connections, but the Empire does. These could be put to use... maybe he knows a Twi'lek who knows a Gamorian who knows a Hutt... Or he can build a street smart solution to a problem that the book smart guys are over thinking.
