I also saw someone point out recently on Twitter its design seems inspired too by the stars that appear in the abandoned Snow White sequence where she and the prince dance on the clouds, and I think they might be right. It resembles those stars more than the fish-like ones in the Silly Symphony Wynken, Blynken and Nod which I mentioned could've been an inspiration.

Juan Pablo Reyes also said Walt's favorite tree in Marceline as a child served as inspiration for Asha's tree in the movie, though I believe Jennifer Lee had already revealed that detail in a past interview.
Speaking of the inspirations for Star, I think its pixie dust and some of its sounds are probably based on Tinker Bell's. By the way, I don't know if you guys noticed, but though it doesn't speak, Star makes some sounds in the teaser trailer when it laughs.
One last thing I wanted to mention which has to do with Star is that I recently noticed something about the logo I hadn't realized before. I thought it was a bit weird they chose to put the star over the letter "S" instead, for example, the "I." But now I think the "S" might represent the trail Star leaves behind when it moves as we can see, for instance, on some of the book covers. If that was indeed the case, I think it'd be quite clever and it'd make me like the logo much more. This cover in particular is the one that made me think of that possibility. What do you guys think? Could I be right about that?
