received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, a May the Fourth tribute to a beloved “Star Wars” actor that had a touch of stardust.
Mark Hamill, who played Fisher’s space brother, Luke Skywalker, was also on hand, and recalled meeting the young actor when she was just 19. Several in the crowd were dressed as characters from the space franchise and C-3P0 and R2-D2 were present for the unveiling. “Never forget the droids!” Lourd said on a wet day that gave way to sun.
“No one will ever be as hot or as cool as Princess Leia,” said Lourd. “Leia is more than just a character. She’s a feeling. She is strength. She is grace. She is wit. She is femininity at its finest. She knows what she wants and gets it. She doesn’t need anyone to rescue her because she rescures herself and even rescues the rescurers. And no one could have played her like my mother.”
