The official ceremony for Princess Leia arrives May 4. Here's how you can watch live.
The process by which celebrities apply for and are chosen for a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a complicated one. If your memory insists that Fisher already had a star on the famous sidewalk, you’d be partially correct, as the Hollywood Walk Board approved her inclusion back in June of 2021 as part of the 38-person Class of 2022.
The rule book surrounding applications for a spot on the legendary Hollywood walkway states that her family had to wait a number of years after Fisher's death before being eligible to apply for the star in her name. Other honorees in Fisher's class included such showbiz industry names as Francis Ford Coppola, Macaulay Culkin, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, James Hong, Helen Hunt, Regina King, Ray Liotta, Ewan McGregor, Adam McKay and Jason Momoa.
