    Mary Anne ButlerBy Updated:2 Mins Read

    We are very, VERY pleased to report that at long last, our dearly departed Princess General Carrie Fisher and legendary actor James Hong will be honored with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They will be joined by an incredibly impressive group of honorees in the 2022 season.

    If you’ll recall, shortly after Fisher’s passing, Mark Hamill lead the charge to get her fast tracked for the process. (Which, honestly, absolutely is a process in every sense of the word) He even joked(???) about replacing Donald Trump’s star, which was continually being defaced and destroyed, with Fisher’s.

    Also, back in 2019, Daniel Dae Kim lead the charge to get James Hong, legend among his peers, a star for his decades of contributions to Hollywood.

    Here is the full class of 2022 honorees:

    In the category of MOTION PICTURES:

    Francis Ford Coppola, Macaulay Culkin, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, James Hong, Helen Hunt, Michael B. Jordan, Regina King, Ray Liotta, Ewan McGregor, Adam McKay, Jason Momoa, Tessa Thompson, and Carrie Fisher (posthumous)

    In the category of TELEVISION: 

    Byron Allen, Greg Berlanti, Ricky Gervais, Peter Krause, Bob Odenkirk, Holly Robinson-Peete, Norman Reedus, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jean Smart, Ming-Na Wen, and Kenan Thompson.

    In the category of RECORDING: 

    Black Eyed Peas, George E. Clinton Jr., Ashanti Douglas, DJ Khaled, Avril Lavigne, Los Huracanes Del Norte, Martha Reeves ,and Ermias “Nipsey Hussle” Asghedom (posthumous)

    In the category of LIVE THEATRE/LIVE PERFORMANCE:

    Patti Lupone, Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr., and Angelica Vale

    In the category of RADIO:

    We’re really kinda hoping Carrie gets her star near her mother, the late great Debbie Reynolds.

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
