Let $G$ be a simple connected graph. An $i$-subset of $V(G)$ is a subset of $V(G)$ of cardinality $i$. An induced $i$-star of $G$ is a star in $G$ induced by an $i$-subset of $V(G)$. The star polynomial representation of $G$ is the generating function of the sequence of the number of induced $i$-stars in $G$. In this paper, we establish the star polynomials of some special graphs such as the star graph, spider graph, complete bipartite graph, and the complete $q$-partite graph.
