Things We Saw Today: Our Jedi Clown Prince Finally Received His Star on the Walk of Fame

Our favorite Jedi and Joker got his official star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today on what is being called #JediDay. Mark Hamill’s twitter has been a pure delight to look through both for his own humility about the achievement, and Star Wars fans cheering him on.

Never once in all my life did I EVER imagine that such a thing was possible. Wish you ALL could be there to share it with me. Oh wait… I guess you can! See you tomorrow! #JediDay #StreamBabyStream #BeThereANDBeSquare https://t.co/Dek6puYvUt pic.twitter.com/Fzsli2eGFN

Harrison Ford and Mark also took a moment to recognize the missing member of their trio Carrie Fisher, making us all get teary-eyed and emotional.

As a long time Luke fangirl and a fan of Mark Hamill’s work in general, I was so happy to watch him be recognized for the awesome human he is.

  The Pantherpuff Girls are here for #InternationalWomensDay! We must see, respect and honor the different kinds of strength that all women possess and nurture it in each other. The individual strengths of Shuri, Okoye and Nakia coexist with the strength of T’Challa. If you want to give a voice to women and girls around the world, take the pledge for my friend @DanaiGurira’s organization #LoveOurGirls – link is in my bio.

   I already want like three different t-shirts of this.

• Our queen of space pirates, Gina Torres, is getting her own show. A Suits spin-off, with her taking on the lead role has been picked up USA, which means that she’s going to be making a lot of money for awhile. USA shows last for eternity, but as far as I’m concerned: Go Gina! (via Deadline)
• A Wrinkle in Time has a pretty damn good soundtrack, with one of the songs being performed by grown–ish stars, Chloe x Halle who released a new music video today. (via Freeform)
• In honor of International Women’s Day, McDonalds flipped their iconic arches to a W. Well done Ronald.
