Wookies can't speak basic either, but Chewbacca's nephew was accepted for training.

I'll concede on the second part but i think you missed my point on this part. It's not that Jedi have to know/have the ability to speak basic- it's that we're playing a game where interaction is important. Being that Jawas do not know basic, you might find yourself having a hard time in the game. Most people have never even seen Jawas, never mind understanding their language so youd be down to, maybe, signing and gestures in order to communicate with us.
