Now to go all technical on you...all multitasking system's have "signals" programs can send to other programs. When you shut the computer down it sends a "quit" signal to all the programs running which are supposed to then quit in a timely fashion.(They might be also supposed to send an "I got the signal" signal back..not sure..I didn't get that far into it.) Either way...Stars does neither so the OS then asks you if it should stop it running in a more forcible way - ie just stop it running. This would prevent stars from doing its normal quit stuff(saving etc) which is why they have the quit signal  and also why the system asks you first (you might want something starsy saved) - that asking you is the "end now dialog".
Clear as mud?
