Carrie Fisher's fans paid the ultimate tribute to the late actress with a makeshift star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Star Wars icon never had an actual star and due to rules set by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, it'll be another five years before she's eligible to receive the honor posthumously.
An earlier version of Carrie's star, which was reportedly constructed by two diehard Star Wars fans featured a cardboard outline with Carrie's name and the words "Forever Our Princess."

I was going to ask why Donald Trump has a star but Carrie Fisher doesn't but this link seems to answer this. It simply requires a sponsorship and a $30,000 fee. I wonder who paid Trump's fee?
