Actress Carrie Fisher received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, and Mark Hamill was there to celebrate and honor her life with a touching speech. This took place on May 4, which is Star Wars Day, a date chosen to honor Fisher's Star Wars legacy as Princess Leia.

Hamill met Fisher when he was 24 and she was 19. They went out to dinner at the start of filming on the first Star Wars to get acquainted. From their first meeting, Hamill said he knew Fisher was special. "Every expectation I had was just obliterated. She was so charming. So funny. So adorable. So wise beyond her years. I just couldn't believe it," Hamill said.

She told him brutally frank and intimate stories about her family after they had just met, something that surprised Hamill but he later came to understand, "That was Carrie."
