"No, it's fine," Luke said with a chuckle, shaking his head, "she isn't." And by now, Luke both wishes Leia was here, and that she continued to be where she should be; at home.

"I just found out about it recently, actually... I've only known her a few years." He shrugged, and then laughed, though as he sobered up again there was a slight edge to his expression.

"I wanted to leave Tatooine for years. It's a desert planet, you see, and only the northern hemisphere is really inhabitable... and it's basically a criminal hole," Luke said, snorting, determinedly not thinking of all the other reasons that he would now prefer to stay away from his home planet.

At least for a while longer...

"And most of those visits were never long; we haven't stayed for long on any of the bases. Certainly not as long as I'd have wanted to in some cases... It's fun to explore. I don't have much family left, anyway, and I only found out about Leia recently."

And since she was right there with him usually, it wasn't like he had to choose between planet-hopping and Leia.
