Mark Hamill Had The Sweetest Response To News That Carrie Fisher Will Get Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

The 'Star Wars' actor shared a touching tweet that hailed the news that the Hollywood Walk Of Fame will award Fisher with her 'long overdue' star on May 4th.

It was announced yesterday that the Star Wars franchise's Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, will finally receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Fisher was and still is beloved by the entire fandom. Fisher passed away unexpectedly on December 16, 2016, several days after having a heart attack on a flight back from the U.K.


To make the tribute all the more touching, the star will be revealed on May 4th, which is widely celebrated as Star Wars day—as in "May the 4th Be With You."

The Walk of Fame tweeted:

"May the 4th be with you!"
"Beloved actress Carrie Fisher will be honored posthumously with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 4th at 11:30 AM."

Fans responded to the announcement with suggestions for Fisher's star to be placed near her iconic mother Debbie Reynolds'. 

The minds behind the Walk of Fame arrangements were able to confirm that was already in the works.

"Carrie's star will be located on the same block, very close to the star of her iconic mama."

Most reactions were bittersweet, as fans were excited but surprised it had taken so long to become a reality.


The most touching reaction came from Mark Hamill—Luke Skywalker opposite Fisher's Princess Leia.

"Long overdue and so well-deserved."

Fans of the franchise could not agree more with Hamill's sentiment.








The conversation in the last 24 hours is not the first time Carrie Fisher has surged back to the front of our minds. Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd, previously gave a touching tribute to her and her grandmother, Debbie Reynolds, while talking about grieving around the holidays. Fans of Star Wars have also pondered Fisher's ethereal presence, like at the panel where J.J. Abrams discussed the production of Skywalker and the lights dimmed, some theorized as Fisher's approval of the production.

These little echoes of Fisher still being with us, at least in memory, continue to pop up, and while her star being placed on the Walk of Fame is an important echo, we highly doubt it will be the last.

HGTV Stars Respond To Backlash From Christian Fans For Casting Same-Sex Couple In Their New Series

Back in 2016, home renovation and lifestyle power couple Joanna and Chip Gaines faced accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. The criticism stemmed from their attendance at a Waco, Texas church that preached against LGBTQ+ equality and basic human rights.

At the time, the couple owned and operated Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and their HGTV program Fixer Upper was a hit. After the show ended in 2018, the couple created their own Magnolia Network in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 to create original content and air other home and lifestyle programs.

JD Vance Called Out For Hypocrisy As He Visits Disneyland With His Family Amid Boos

On Saturday, one-time vehement Trump critic turned MAGA Republican convert Vice President JD Vance went on vacation to Disneyland in blue state California, despite Disney World in red state Florida being closer to Washington D.C. and in the middle of MAGA territory.

The administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a face-off with California over occupying forces sent by Trump to Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles from Anaheim where Disneyland is located, making Vance's choice even more questionable.

Joe Biden Calls Out 'Liar' Trump Over His Claims About Biden's Use Of Autopen For Pardons

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Rep. Nancy Mace Gets Brutal Reminder On X After She Tried To Praise Trump For 'Rebuilding' The U.S.

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was fact-checked by an X Community Note after she tried to praise President Donald Trump for "rebuilding" the country, when she herself voted against President Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
