Mark Hamill Takes His Rightful Place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Yesterday was a special day for everyone's favorite farm boy turned space knight as Mark Hamill added to his legacy by getting his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Mark is without a doubt one of the most beloved actors by any fan base, and to many of us Star Wars fans, he is Star Wars. Since playing the main character of the original trilogy, he has endeared himself to the fans through his fun and caring interactions with us over the years. Hit the jump to read more and to catch some soon to be iconic images from the event.

George Lucas and Harrison Ford spoke at the event in honor of their working relationship and lifelong friendship with Mark Hamill. You can watch the full video below, but here is a little bit of what they had to say...







A word from George Lucas:

Harrison Ford took a moment to rib Mark a little bit before mentioning his sorrow at Carrie Fisher's absence and finally saying some kind words about Mark and offering his own congratulations.

Aside from being Luke Skywalker, one of the most recognizable characters in the history of cinema, Mark has also dazzled audiences with his incredible award-winning voice talent (most notably as the quintessential Joker in the animated Batman series in the 90's). We can think of no one more deserving of this honor (we may be a little biased, but that's fine by us), and we wish to congratulate Mr. Hamill on not only this honor, but for a lifetime of achievement in cinema and television. So congrats Mark, and may the Force of others be with you...as yours has been with us for the last four decades.
