Like Ix said, They certainly got the part about what else starstuff does to you—the floating, the happiness, the sounds, potential immortality and permanent flight—right.
In Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter gained the ability to fly and never age because he handled a trunk full of leaking starstuff. The overexposure (allegedly) made him the way he is in Peter Pan (though PatSc is more like an AU prequel of the book than anything).
Aside from flight and immortality, starstuff can turn birds into fairies and fish into merpeople. It also mutated a salamander into some sort of giant creature that escaped into Loch Ness. Along with that, it can also grant people enhanced strength and senses, be used to power rockets... basically, it's the Deus Ex Machina to end Dei Ex Machina.
