Star
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
A star is an enormous sphere of immensely hot hydrogen and helium that undergoes nuclear fusion[source?] to produce heat and light (in essence, it is a giant ball of plasma). Systems of planets would usually form around stars when the gas and dust around them became stable enough. Stars could come in all sorts of sizes, colors, and temperatures. Most planets are seen orbiting medium mass orange-yellow stars, often called suns.
It was estimated that there are four hundred billion stars in the galaxy.[source?]
