Weapon/Armor Stars

[Bavmorda]

Hi, all.

Quick question:

What does the star rating on weapons and armor represent? I can't find any mention of it on this site or in the manual.

Thanks!

How good the item is.

I'm assuming, then, that the greater the number of stars, the rarer the item? Would that be an accurate statement?
