Jude Law Joins Star Wars Legends on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

What do a brilliant wizard, a galaxy-trotting pirate, a king of England, and a rogue scoundrel in a galaxy far, far away have in common? They’re all brought to life by the endlessly versatile Jude Law. And now, Law’s illustrious career has earned him a spot on one of Hollywood’s most iconic landmarks: the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A Star for a Star

On a sunny Thursday morning in Los Angeles, Jude Law stepped into the spotlight—this time on the Hollywood Walk of Fame—as his name joined the ranks of entertainment legends. His star, the 2,798th on the Walk, was awarded in the Motion Pictures category. The honor places him alongside other Star Wars greats, including Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Ewan McGregor, and Jon Favreau.

The ceremony was a family affair, with Law’s loved ones and collaborators in attendance. Among the speakers was David Lowery, director of Law’s upcoming Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew, who celebrated Law’s career with humor and heartfelt admiration.

From Neverland to a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Jude Law has an impressive resume, playing everything from heroic icons to morally ambiguous rogues. His latest role as Jod Na Nawood, the enigmatic scoundrel at the heart of Disney+’s Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, feels like a culmination of his career’s most daring and charming characters.

Law’s role in Skeleton Crew gives him the freedom to blend heroism with a touch of menace—a combination he admits he’s always loved. Growing up, Law dreamed of being Han Solo, though he cheekily admits to dabbling in Darth Vader roleplay during childhood games. “I always wanted to be Han,” Law shared in an interview with StarWars.com. “But, depending on the game, I probably wanted to be Vader sometimes as well.”

A Legacy of Collaboration

Taking the podium during the ceremony, Law spoke with humility and gratitude, reflecting on the importance of teamwork in his craft. “You can’t act alone,” he said. “The need to collaborate is very much at the heart of the medium’s biggest reward.”

Law went on to thank the directors, writers, and actors he’s worked with over the years, crediting them with shaping his career and inspiring his performances. He also expressed heartfelt gratitude to his parents, who instilled in him a love for cinema from a young age. From silent films to the blockbuster hits of the ‘70s and ‘80s, their influence helped Law develop the passion and skill that led him to this incredible milestone.

David Lowery’s Touching Tribute

Director David Lowery added a humorous note to the occasion, pointing out the delightful coincidence of working with Law on two projects involving pirates and runaway children—first as Captain Hook in Peter Pan & Wendy and now as Jod Na Nawood in Skeleton Crew. “I thought to myself, someday, somehow, I’m going to work with this actor on not one but two projects in which he plays a pirate who gets up to shenanigans with a bunch of runaway children,” Lowery joked.

Lowery also praised Law’s ability to bring depth and nuance to his roles, making him one of the most compelling actors of his generation.

A Star Wars Legend in the Making

Law’s addition to the Hollywood Walk of Fame feels particularly fitting as he joins a long list of Star Wars alumni. His starring role in Skeleton Crew, a series set in the Star Wars universe that follows a group of children navigating their way through the galaxy, is already generating excitement among fans. The show combines the wonder of classic coming-of-age tales with the rich lore of Star Wars, and Law’s performance is expected to be one of its standout features.

A Star for Generations

Jude Law’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star is more than a milestone—it’s a testament to a career filled with unforgettable performances, unyielding passion, and a little bit of galactic magic. Whether he’s battling pirates, saving kingdoms, or navigating the cosmos, Law’s talent continues to captivate audiences across generations.

As he put it during the ceremony, having his name immortalized among the stars he grew up admiring is “both sublime and ridiculous.” But one thing’s for sure—there’s no one more deserving.
