Carrie Fisher to receive Walk of Fame star on 'Star Wars Day'

Carrie Fisher at the Oscar Wilde Awards in 2015

Not too long from now in a town filled with stars, legendary actress Carrie Fisher will receive a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Appropriately, Fisher’s ceremony will take place on May 4, which is known around the Star Wars galaxy as May the Fourth, or Star Wars Day. 

Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, will be on hand to accept the award on her mother’s behalf. The star ceremony will take place on Hollywood Boulevard near the historic El Capitan Theater. Guest speakers for the event haven't been announced as of this writing, but the ceremony will be presided over by iHeartMedia personality Ellen K.
