ark Hamill -- Luke Skywalker from the "Star Wars" saga -- will present an Oscar at the upcoming Academy Awards before getting his Walk of Fame star.
Hamill will attend the Oscars, March 4, four days before he is honored personally with his Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
The actor, now 66, joked on Twitter: "Note to self: 1) Talk fast enough so the orchestra doesn't try to play me off. 2) No 'R2-Me Too' jokes. 3) After opening the envelope, don't say 'La La Land.'"
The last quip references last year's unprecedented Best Picture mixup, when that movie was read out instead of the real winner "Moonlight."
