The song, alone, is a pretty straight forward song about people becoming rock stars to try to make a difference in the world. However, when brought together with Ziggy, I think that it's no surprise that a song called "Star" among an album full of space and star imagery is actually about becoming a rock star, rather than stars in general. Kind of showing the connection between being a rock star and traveling the final frontier.
