I find it cute in Reign of Fire where Christian Bale and Gerard Butler are acting out the Star Wars story for the kids. It's "folk lore" in the future. What a tribute!

No, but he did receive a Lifetime Achievement award from AFI last year. If you missed it, I suggest trying to find video clips online. It was hilarious. William Shatner opened with a song and dance w/ Storm Troopers and Carrie Fisher complained about not being able to wear a bra among many other things!
