Here's how to watch when a Walk of Fame star is unveiled for a 'Star Wars' princess.
Her star was installed Monday. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce invited six fans who created the makeshift star to attend the installation -- which includes jack-hammering the space, laying a foundation and placing the star -- and pose for photos. They also pressed handprints in the underlying cement base.
"Carrie Fisher is everything," said fan Lavonne Dominguez."She's our princess, our general, our beacon of hope. Will always be our friend." The makeshift star remained on the Walk for about 10 days. Mourning fans left light sabers and other 'Star Wars' items alongside candles and flowers. The star included the message:"Carrie Fisher, May the Force be with you always. Hope."
Actress Mandy Amano pays her respects at Carrie Fisher's makeshift Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame during"A Fan Tribute To Our Beloved Princess Leia" held in the Courtyard at TCL Chinese Theatre on December 31, 2016 in Hollywood, California. The star unveiling ceremony is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard near Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre.The star, sponsored by Disney, is the 2,754th on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Walk of Fame stars are not actually awarded to recipients based solely on talent, hard work and dedication to the arts. Star recipients are selected by a committee that considers hundreds of applications each year. The stars are purchased for a $75,000 fee, rather than gifted. Half of that fee pays for the ceremony and the other half goes toward maintenance and repairs.
