When Tristran stopped at a village shop to gather supplies for the road ahead, Yvaine seized the chance to slip away unnoticed. But no sooner had she fled into the woods than Tristran himself was given an ominous warning from a fellow traveler that the star was being stalked by a sinister force. Fearing for Yvaine's safety, he rushed off in pursuit to find her before it was too late.

On the film's differences from the novel, Gaiman commented, "I sort of feel like my grounding in comics was actually very useful because in my head, that's just the Earth-Two version of Stardust. It's a parallel Earth version of Stardust, which has Robert De Niro and stuff. And I get people who come to the book from having loved the movie who are really disappointed at some of the stuff that isn't there that Matthew brought." [21] Responding to a fan's statement about preferring the film's climax compared to the book, Gaiman clarified that he in fact had suggested the different ending that the film ended up using and liked it better for the film but liked the book ending better for the book.

The witch-queen knew Semele as Ditchwater Sal when she was "a young chit of a thing". On their first encounter, Semele drugs the witch-queen's food with a magical substance that causes her to speak only the truth, thus forcing her to blurt out the truth of the fallen star. Semele plots to find the star first and restore her own youth, but the witch-queen curses her so that she will never perceive the star in any way.

I think my affection for drawings comes from reading Analog magazine in my youth, where the stories were all accompanied by illustrations from artists like Kelly Freas and John Schoenherr, pictures that brought the stories to life in ways that the prose could not. The readers are then introduced to the dying Lord of Stormhold, who throws the topaz stone that holds the power of the throne into the sky, and tells his male heirs that whoever finds the stone will succeed him. They are willing to do anything to be the first to find the stone, including killing their rival brothers along the way. That topaz hits a star, causing it to fall from the sky (as witnessed by Tristran and Victoria). The falling star is also seen by Lamia and her sisters, ancient witches who can extend their waning lives by taking the heart from a living star. The Mistress Semele, who has enslaved Tristran’s mother, learns about the star and wants it for the same purpose. All of this results in a desperate race to find the star.
