Yes, I was home for nearly a year before returning. [Leia smiles a bit when she thinks about it.]
It's a lot of work, repairing the damage that Palpatine and Vader did to the Republic. Many planets are shy about joining the Alliance. Some don't even know that the Emperor is dead.
It's frustrating and rewarding work, but there is so much of it. And I spend a lot of time separated from my loved ones.
[Winter is on Coruscant. Han is doing his part in the Army. Luke's traveling the galaxy, looking for records of the old Jedi Order so that he can use them to rebuild. Mon Mothma is doing much the same work as Leia herself. Leia would never admit it, but she's been lonely the last six months without those four with her. Being here again is like a dream come true.]
