“StarNet is a neural network that can remove stars from images in one simple step leaving only the background. More technically, it is a convolutional residual net with encoder-decoder architecture and with L1, Adversarial and Perceptual losses.”

If you remove the stars you have to fill it in with what is there..behind the star, but you cant possibly know.... It could be another star, a black hole etc...Since you have to make it nice to display movie credits, you are going to fill in the space with genai images similar to the rest of the background. You might draw curved to the right when in reality if you observe from behind the star, it curves to the left...
