Harrison Ford remembers Carrie Fisher as Mark Hamill honoured on Walk of Fame
George Lucas also joined the Luke Skywalker actor as he was honoured with a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
Harrison Ford paid tribute to Carrie Fisher, the late member of the original Star Wars trio, as Mark Hamill was honoured on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Luke Skywalker actor was presented with a star on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday in a ceremony attended by hundreds of fans and the franchise’s creator, George Lucas.
“But I feel her presence.”
Hamill thanked his family for putting up with his acting as a child, and Lucas.
“If it wasn’t for the genius of George Lucas, I wouldn’t be standing here today,” Hamill, 66, said.
Hamill said the last time he had been so speechless was in a Star Wars episode noted for his lack of dialogue.
Lucas also addressed the audience, praising the chemistry formed between Hamill, Ford and Fisher in the early days of the franchise.
Fans, some clutching light sabres or dressed as jedis, lined the street and cheered as they saw Star Wars newcomer Kelly Marie Tran as well as producer Kathleen Kennedy and The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.
Stormtroopers also joined the ceremony, as did R2-D2.
Hamill’s star, outside the El Capitan Theatre, is the 2,630th in Hollywood.
