There's also some Quadjumper ways to assign tractor tokens without an attack, but that's scum faction again (it's looking like it's kind of their thing). Rebel and empire both have to hit with an attack to apply tractor tokens, and for empire, TIE/D makes that a lot more viable.

And yes to proxying. When you're playing casually outside a tournament, it's almost always appropriate to proxy pilots and upgrades, but it's good to ask your opponent if they're fine with it. A few people are sticklers for having physical copies even in casual play, but they are rare. Proxying is pretty easy too... If you build your list using a Squadron Builder  it makes printing it out really easy; it can even print the cards if you prefer it like that instead of text (look at the options at the top on the printable page). Then just grab some of those number tabs that came with your core set or expansions, and put a pair of matching numbers on your ship and on the printed pilot card (since your baseplate won't match the actual pilot you're using).

As Dragoon said, Board Game, Tabletop Game, Comic and even rarely other Hobby (e.g. train sets) stores will have a night where people gather to play X-Wing, Warhammer, etc. You can call them and ask if there's a schedule, or if they've noticed people coming in with X-Wing who might be interested in playing with you.

You can also check facebook and look around for groups that gather and play near you. That might be the fastest and easiest way to find out, and even check with the group to see if they're open to newcomers. In my experience, X-Wing players are very friendly and groups are usually pretty welcoming.

Unless you would bring their player count to an odd number, in which case they'll chase you out of the store with blasters. ;)  I'm kidding, I'm kidding.  Lightsabers, never blasters.
