Trivia
- The show was originally under the title name Star and the Forces of Evil.
- The show was originally scheduled to premiere in Fall 2014 before it was pushed back to January 2015.
- The show was originally going to be a Disney Channel original series, but it was announced in Fall 2014 that the show would be a Disney XD series. However, the series began airing in re-runs on Disney Channel in September 2016. It currently airs on that network as part of the Disney Channel Weekend Mornings programming block.
- Daron Nefcy's influences for Star vs. the Forces of Evil are primarily Japanese TV shows, such as Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Magic Knight Rayearth, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Unico (which features a pink unicorn). Her Japanese influences mainly come from widely intense shows with female leads.[2]
- Daron Nefcy also based Star Butterfly on Anime heroines she admired.[2]
- Daron also based the show on her love of indie comics and fantasy novels, such as Scott Pilgrim and the Dungeon series.[3]
- Originally, Star Butterfly was going to be a fourth grader but the executives wanted the character to be a little bit older. While it was different than what Daron Nefcy wanted, it did allow the show to play around with concepts that fall more in line with the teenage audience of Disney XD.[2]
- This is also likely what lead the show to have a higher focus on the lore of the Butterfly Family and the romantic relasionship between Star and Marco, as none of these concepts are refrenced in Daron Nefcy's earlier versions of the show.
