Mark Hamill has been awarded a star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star was awarded the Walk's two-thousand six-hundred thirtieth star for his contributions to acting. He is perhaps best remembered for his role as the heroic Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise as well as the psychotic Joker in various DC Comics adaptations.

Star Wars creator George Lucas was there along with Han Solo actor Harrison Ford to speak. Lucas said of Hamill, "Mark Hamill is a character that can't be written. He is extremity enthusiastic about everything he does, and that is exactly what I was looking for when I cast Luke Skywalker." They also took the time to remember the deceased Carrie Fisher.

Hamill said of his experience, "Its hard to convey my gratitude, my joy and the exhilaration."
