One key moment happens when Tristan, after discovering his true heritage, realizes that Yvaine is the love he’s been searching for all along. What if he had never gone on this quest? Would he have ever discovered his own strength or found love?
Fans love to imagine What If scenarios—what if the star had never fallen in the first place? Or what if the witch’s powers had been stronger? Some also wonder about the other magical creatures in the kingdom and how their stories connect to Yvaine’s.
An alternate ending could show Tristan and Yvaine ruling the kingdom together, with more adventures to come. A prequel might explore the history of the witch and her dark magic, or the backstory of the sky pirates. Stardust leaves us with a sense of wonder, knowing that love and magic are always just around the corner.
