  • The series received a weekday strip later on 5 episodes.
  • After Gravity Falls ended, the Disney XD social media ready all its efforts to turn Star into the new flagship show. That is, until the honey for the show began to diminish and ratings went downhill and the show was pulled from Disney for good after the concluding episode.

• Banned Episode:
  • "The Banagic Incident" is the only episode of Star vs. the Forces of Evil that is not allowed to air in the U.k.. It's not known why, but speculation is that the Banagic Wand was said to await like a sex toy.
    • This episode (alongside "Mewnipendence Day", which it is paired with) is as well completely unavailable on Disney+ in various European ccountries.
  • Subverted with the Season 2 episode "Just Friends", which was briefly pulled from both broadcast rotation and the website for unknown reasons. It was strongly believed to be because of the four same-sex couples kissing onscreen in a Freeze-Frame Bonus, but there was no official statement from Disney or evidence to support this, and it was chop-chop returned to rotation unchanged subsequently fan backlash.
• Banned in China:
  • When talking well-nigh the risqué moments in the evidence at the Star vs. the Forces of Evil panel during the Gallery Nucleus art show, Daron Nefcy stated that "The Banagic Incident" did not get past England's radar and is the showtime Banned Episode of the show anywhere.
• Billing Deportation: In "Crystal Articulate"/"The Hard Way", Kevin Michael Richardson, who voices Rhombulus in the first segment, is merely credited under "additional voices" despite his grapheme playing a major role. On the flip side, Michael C. Hall is given top billing as Toffee in the latter segment despite not appearing until the cease.

  • Michael C. Hall voices Toffee.
  • Jessica Walter voices Miss Heinous.
  • Jenny Slate every bit Pony Head.
  • Eclipsa is voiced by British actress Esmé Bianco.
  • Zosia Mamet equally Hekapoo.
• Channel Hop:
  • The sneak preview aired on Disney Channel, but the series officially premiered on its sis network Disney XD.
  • The Season 4 episodes premiered on Disney Channel before they reran on Disney XD.
• Cowboy BeBop at His Estimator: Some fans were irritated by the review by Marcy Cook of The Mary Sue, in which she complained nigh Marco's "retconned" personality from the pilot, claiming that he "goes from overly safety conscious to martial arts expert looking for gamble." In actuality, Marco was already a martial arts expert and excited at the idea of adventure even in the airplane pilot. Although his "condom conscious" attribute is somewhat downplayed later, he's still shown to be a rather cautious and careful grapheme. Both of these aspects are nowadays in the airplane pilot:

  Marco: Are there gonna exist monsters attacking us all the time?
  Star: Aye, probably.
  Marco: All right! Sounds and so dangerous! Whoa! Let's cross at the low-cal.

• Creator Backlash: Tom'due south voice actor, Rider Potent, wasn't very happy with how his character was handled in the latter one-half of Flavor 4, mainly the fact that he bankrupt upward with Star with a poor excuse just and so she could get together with Marco in the finish.
• Creator's Favorite: Daron Nefcy has stated that Flying Princess Pony Head is i of the characters she likes and enjoys the most in the show.
• Creator's Pest: Downplayed. Alfonzo and Ferguson were created by the request of executives who wanted Marco to have male person friends. Daron Nefcy admits she had no idea what to practice with the characters, and thus ignored them after Season 1. She confirmed, yet, that the two would show upward again in Flavor iii, which they did.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: The Greek dub oddly plays this trope straight with Tom of all characters, with him somehow voiced by a adult female.
• Descended Creator:
  • Daron Nefcy voices Sabrina and StarFan13.
  • Writer and producer Dominic Bisignano voices the "Bearded Hipster" grapheme in 1 episode.
• Dueling Shows: With the move to Disney Aqueduct for Season iv, the evidence competed against Tangled: The Series, some other Disney show about a plucky, blonde-haired princess. This was peculiarly true since the outset half of Season 4 aired on the aforementioned twenty-four hour period as the remainder of Flavor 2 of Tangled.
• Executive Meddling:
  • A positive instance. The original pitch for the series had Star as a grade school girl who believed she had magical powers due to an overactive imagination. A Disney Blitheness executive suggested to Daron Nefcy that she should give Star real magical powers, something which both Nefcy and the Disney execs ended up loving.
  • Alfonzo and Ferguson were added because Disney requested Marco have male person friends. Daron Nefcy resented this and used them as little as possible.
• Fake Brit:
  • American Grayness DeLisle gives Queen Moon a British accent.
  • Alan Tudyk, an American, likewise voices King River with a British accent.
• Fake Nationality:
  • Fred Tatasciore, an American, voices Vitrify Frog with a Russian accent.
  • Rob Paulsen, an American, uses a Scandinavian accent when voicing Gustav. Though it becomes subverted when information technology's revealed that Gustav is actually an American child, with Rob Paulsen using his natural vocalization. It's so played straight again when he pretends to be a French kid, with Rob still doing the accent.
• Fake Mixed Race: Marco is biracial merely is voiced past a Caucasian thespian.
• Fan Customs Nicknames: Marco's fans are chosen "Meatballs" past Adam McArthur, Marco'southward vox thespian, on his Twitter account.
• Fandom Nod:
  • "Starco" is the Portmanteau Couple Name for Star/Marco in the fandom, and it's intensely pop. Then comes Flavor 2'southward "Mr. Candle Cares", in which Mr. Candle and Marco explicitly say information technology.
  • While not mentioned in the show itself, the first piece in the musical suite for the climax of "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown" is titled "Jarco Interrupted", named after the Portmanteau Couple Name for Jackie/Marco.
• Flip-Bomb of God: An amusing example of this; Kristen Gish claimed that storyboard artists such as herself take no authority over the characters' sexual orientations, to which fellow storyboard artist Sabrina Cotugno responded that Anybody Is Bi.
• God Does Not Own This World: When storyboard artist Kristen Gish was asked by a fan if Marco is bisexual, Gish stated that storyboard artists don't have potency over the sexual orientations of the characters. This was hilariously contradicted non long afterward by some other storyboard artist, Sabrina Cotugno, cheerfully declaring that Everyone Is Bi in response.
• He Also Did:
  • Marco's bouncy, happy "Space Unicorn" ringtone? It'southward by Parry Gripp, the frontman of Nerf Herder, who wrote and performed the theme vocal to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
  • Star Butterfly is the first and so far merely blithe vocalisation acting credit of Eden Sher, all-time known every bit Sue Heck in The Center.
  • Storyboard artist Sabrina Cotugno is likewise the creator of a webcomic called The Glass Scientists.
• I Knew It!:
  • Many fans correctly guessed that the lizard guy from the Season 2 opening was an amanuensis hired past Miss Heinous to rail downward Marco.
  • Many correctly guessed that Toffee was the phonation within the wand that kept speaking to Ludo throughout Season 2 rather than some delusion or tertiary party.
  • Many guessed correctly that the voice in the teaser for The Battle for Mewni was that of a young Queen Moon.
  • "Monster Bash" confirmed the theory that Miss Heinous is Eclipsa'due south girl with her monster lover, which was part of an older, more general theory concerning the character being a lost member of the royal family. The episode too reveals that her real name is Meteora Butterfly.
  • A very unpopular former queen comes over again to ability after what amounts to the deposing of the next-to-terminal fellow member of an alternating line of rulers, that had been appreciated past their people partly on the basis of said queen's villification, and many malcontents decide to build a community around the figure of said deposed ruler without the latter doing anything to discourage them except at the very start. And so yeah, the signs of Moon'south Face–Heel Turn were there.
• In Memoriam: Hazel Hammersley, daughter of serial director Aaron Hammersley, died during Easter weekend 2018. The Flavor 4 premiere was dedicated to her memory.
• Lost Episode: While a few screenshots and gifs exist, the original Star and the Forces of Evil pilot has never been released to the public.
• No Budget: Averted with the show, but played direct with the Marco Live Chat videos which were animated in real-time using Stock Footage from the show and were overall limited in terms of actual animation.
• Now Which Ane Was That Voice?: The show only gives specific credits for who voices the principal characters and some of the major supporting players while pushing all the voices for pocket-size characters and various supporting characters to additional voices only which creates a bit of confusion on who voices who with people initially assuming Grayness Griffin had voiced Janna during the beginning season (every bit Abby Elliot was pushed to the additional voices credit simply at the time) before season 2 revealed Abby Elliot to be Janna'south voice actress in the credits for "Girls' Twenty-four hours Out".
• The Other Darrin:
  • Keith David replaces Jeffrey Tambor as Glossaryck due to the sexual harassment allegations facing the latter, starting in the Flavour 3 finale. This is lampshaded by Star after Glossaryck reveals he's been perfectly fine all along:

  Star: Is his voice different?

  • Scott Menville voices Manfred in "Rest in Pudding" instead of his usual voice actor Greg Ellis.
  • Dominic Catrambone replaces Nick Swardson as Sensei Brantley in seasons 3-4.
• Out of Order:
  • Technically, the merely episodes to autumn victim to this is "Hungry Larry"/"Spider with a Acme Hat", but not merely were they written with this in heed, equally "Hungry Larry" is the Halloween special, and thus would be premiered effectually Halloween regardless of how far along the rest of the flavor was, merely they don't make chronological sense where they practise fall. ^notation They're 214, which is between "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown" and "Raid the Cave".
  • There'southward "Stump Day/Vacation Spellical", which aired two weeks subsequently "Monster Bash", but was produced before information technology. This was to coincide with Christmas.
• Recycled Script:
  • "St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses" is similar to the Phineas and Ferb episode "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted". Information technology helps that they share one of the same writers, Piero Piluso.
  • The 2 function season 3 finale borrows heavily from "Secret Of The Sundrop" from Tangled: The Serial.
  • "Monster Fustigate" is very similar to the Elena of Avalor episode "Masks of Magic" in that they both focus on throwing an of import social gathering to unite various groups/species. The only difference is that Elena's ends happily while Star'south doesn't.
• Relationship Voice Thespian:
  • Adam McArthur, who plays Marco, and Artt Butler, who plays Mr. Diaz, previously voiced Prince Lee-Char and his military Adjutant Helm Ackbar on Star Wars: The Clone Wars Mon Cala arc in Season 4.
  • Dennis and Jeremy Birnbaum are Ono and Bunga.
  • In the Japanese dub, Kana Ueda (Star) and Aya Hisakawa (Queen Moon) already worked together in the Lyrical Nanoha franchise equally Hayate Yagami and Lindy Harlaown, respectively.
  • In the Argentinian dub, Agustina Cirulnik (Star) and Demián Velazco (Marco) take worked together in Pucca as Ching and Abyo, and Gravity Falls as Candy and Gideon.
• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Jeffrey Tambor lost his job voicing Glossaryk earlier the Season 3 finale following sexual harassment allegations. Keith David took over the role from the Season 3 finale onwards.
• Dominion 34 – Creator Reactions: Sabrina Cotugno has expressed discomfort with the existence of NSFW fan art of the underage characters and the excitement some older fans have over said fan art:

  Cotugno: It's just weird when people brand disturbingly on-model sexual activity scenes of children'south cartoon characters and talk near how hot it is.

• Schedule Sideslip: "Is Another Mystery" and "Marco Jr." were originally slated to air on January 22, 2018, but were delayed until March 17 for unknown reasons.
• Screwed by the Lawyers: A peculiar instance that technically applies to many more Disney cartoons than this 1, simply was revealed by an example involving this show in particular. According to Adam McArthur in this video, there'due south actually a legal obligation of some sort that forbids any crossovers betwixt Disney's animated television properties; at most, they tin can put in a few references to each other. This came upwards when he spoke to fans most the (im)possibility of a crossover between Star vs. the Forces of Evil and Gravity Falls. ^note The crossovers that Lilo & Sew together: The Series had with many other Disney cartoons were most likely only possible because of some Loophole Abuse regarding its status as a spinoff of a Disney moving picture. And Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law were only allowed to do so in the latter's second season due to be being by the aforementioned creators and the old having already ended. It withal doesn't explicate how there'south a crossover betwixt Handy Manny and Special Agent Oso, both of which are original shows and not continued to an established property. This dominion is really confusing.
• Screwed by the Network:
  • The show fell into this in tardily 2018. Reruns were greatly reduced as it kept going.
  • Moving from Disney XD to Disney Channel didn't mean annihilation since new episodes aired on Sunday mornings at 8:00 before moving to 7:00, with just Disney XD airing reruns. Also, despite being seen as one of network'due south best shows, after the concluding episode of the series aired on May 19th, 2019, the show was pulled from Disney Channel for good. Merely information technology can still be found on Disney+.
• Talking to Himself: The squares in "Party With a Pony" all have the same voice. Information technology'south not that piece of cake to tell, though, since they don't say much in the episode.
• Teasing Creator:
  • Daron Nefcy in one case put out pictures of herself and her hubby, who Marco is based off of, kissing while cosplaying as Star and Marco.
  • A few hours before "Bon Bon the Birthday Clown" made all Starco shippers weep tears of blood at Jackie and Marco going on a engagement and kissing , Daron Nefcy tweeted this.
• Throw It In: Originally the episode "Ludo in the Wild" was to exist completely silent, until Alan Tudyk started advertizing-libbing dialogue for Ludo as noted here.
• Trolling Creator: Trolling network in this case; someone in the social media/promotional department at Disney really knows how to mess with the fandom's caput. The trailer for the Season 2 premiere had the "smooch buddies" line, while the trailer for the second half of said season had this ◊ shot of briefly mixed in at the end. This was done once again with the San Diego Comic-Con 2017 sneak peek for Flavor three, which showed Star and Tom's dance from "Club Snubbed" out of context. Though this did turn out to signal the rekindling of the duo'south relationship a few episodes later.
• Voices in One Room: Averted for the most part. Due to many of the actors being either famous and/or having busy schedules, cast members usually record separately. At that place are some exceptions where some of the bandage can record together, like how Adam McArthur (Marco) and Rider Strong (Tom) recorded for the episodes "Frenemies".
• What Could Have Been:
  • The show was originally pitched to Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute initiative, too as Nickelodeon.
  • In earlier conceptual versions of the series, Star was a grade schooler who did not have magic powers, just believed she did. Minutes before pitching the series to Disney, an executive asked Daron Nefcy to make Star a teenager and give her real magic powers, with Nefcy adding the "princess from some other dimension" aspect in the weeks following the pitch session.
  • Marco was originally going to be named Sol, exist obsessed with shows like Dragon Ball Z, and exist Star'southward rival instead of her all-time friend.
  • Nefcy wanted Pony Head's design to look like she was "drooling, and blood dripping out of the neck – but then really sparkly and really big optics." She was too originally going to exist an imaginary friend prior to actual magic becoming a function of the prove'due south concept.
  • Mina Loveberry was originally going to be an even more overt reference to Sailor Moon. In particular, her theme music was initially written equally a close enough copy that Disney's legal department required it to be changed.
  • Concept fine art for "Hungry Larry" shows some alternative costumes for Marco and Mrs. Diaz, and reveals Jackie was going to make an advent in the episode wearing a mermaid costume. ^notation A possible nod to the fan theory that she's secretly a mermaid; this was instead nodded to in "Bon Bon the Altogether Clown" with Jackie'south prom dress that looked vaguely like a mermaid tail.
  • According to this video, during the early stages of development, Grey DeLisle, Queen Moon and Jackie's voice actress, was i of the candidates for Star herself.
  • Nefcy posted a picture show she drew of Jackie being possessed, an idea for an episode that was ultimately scrapped.
  • Season 4 hadn't been greenlit when the Season iii finale, "Conquer", was written. Nefcy admitted in an interview that the bewilderment catastrophe with Eclipsa and Globgor was written out of cockiness, and if the serial didn't get renewed, she would have argued for ane more half-hr episode to wrap things upwards.
  • According to a Reddit AMA held with Nefcy and the testify'south writers afterward its determination, there were numerous attempts to write a follow-upward episode to Flavour 1'south "Monster Arm", only they couldn't effigy out a satisfying story. According to Nefcy, the Monster Arm is more than than likely still in Marco despite the devastation of magic and will reemerge one day, only not in the show itself.
  • An episode called "Red Riding Hoodie" was planned, merely scrapped when the writers couldn't get the idea to piece of work. Information technology would have involved an evil wolf hypnotizing Marco into re-enacting the story of "Little Red Riding Hood", while Star tried to figure out what was happening. All that remains of it is a single concept drawing.
  • Dave Lucitor, Tom's humanoid begetter, was originally going to brand an advent in Flavour one as an anger demon. Both Tom and Dave were originally going to have an abusive male parent-son relationship.
• Why Fandom Tin can't Take Nice Things: At the Star vs. the Forces of Evil panel during the Gallery Nucleus art show, a sneak tiptop of the new opening sequence for Season 3 was shown. The show'south staff warned the audition that they probably wouldn't be able to give sneak peaks like that ever once more if any of them recorded it and leaked information technology to the Cyberspace. Unfortunately, someone did it anyway, albeit in extremely low quality, much to the thwarting of the trustworthy fans and Adam McArthur.
• The Wiki Rule: Star vs. the Forces of Evil Wiki.
• Give-and-take of Gay: Sabrina Cotugno has said that Rhombulus and Lekmet of the Magic High Committee "are totally alive-in boyfriends with some communication problems to accost." Cotugno also declared (probably jokingly) that Everyone Is Bi in response to some other storyboard artist pulling a Shrug of God/God Does Non Own This World reply to a fan asking if Marco is bisexual.
• Working Championship: The series'south original title was Star and the Forces of Evil.
• Write Who You Know:
  • According to Daron Nefcy, Star'south personality was based on hers, while Marco'south personality was based at least in role on her hubby'south.
  • According to Daron Nefcy on Twitter, Marco getting his loftier schoolhouse equivalence to skip his junior and senior years was based on her doing the aforementioned thing.
