Hylas and the Nymphs
She place something heavy and golden around Solo's neck, then Chewbacca's—having to strain to do so—and finally around Luke's. Then she made a signal to thecrowd, and the rigid discipline dissolved as every man, woman, and mechanicalpresent was permitted to give full vent to their feelings. As he stood awash in the cheers and shouts, Luke found that his mind wasneither on his possible future with the Alliance nor on the chance of travelingadventurously with Han Solo and Chewbacca. Instead, unlikely as Solo had claimedit might be, he found his full attention occupied by the radiant Leia Organa. She noticed his unabashed stare, but this time she only smiled.

He wasastride a Tauntaun, the only other living being as far as the eye could see. He felttired and alone, and the sound of his own voice startled him.
