Mark Hamill finally got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and fellow Star Wars star Harrison Ford was by his side to celebrate as well as honor the late Carrie Fisher.

During Hamill's Walk of Fame celebration, Ford took to the stage to share some kind words about the actor and reminisce about the good old days, The Hollywood Reporter reported Thursday, including a heartfelt remembrance of their fellow star Carrie Fisher, who passed away in December 2016.

"When thinking about today, I was really sorry we don't have the other member of our trio to celebrate with us, but I feel her presence," Ford said in a touching tribute to a huge presence in the Star Wars family.

Star Wars creator George Lucas was also in attendance (along with R2D2 and some Storm Troopers) and spoke to Hamill's talents, saying his enthusiasm was a key ingredient to the success of his character Luke Skywalker.

Hamill, who is also known for his work as the voice of the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and other Batman projects, expressed his gratitude for the Walk of Fame star.

"It's hard to convey my gratitude, my joy and the exhilaration," Hamill said. "I haven't been speechless since Force Awakens."
