The asterisk indicates that there are omitted technical conditions or 'fine print' required for the Central Limit Theorem to hold rigorously. The video uses it to signal that the informal statement 'it doesn't matter what distribution you start with' is a simplification and not the complete formal theorem.
Conditions: The statement is an informal generalization of the CLT.; The asterisk marks the presence of unstated qualifications.; The actual conditions are deferred to later in the lesson.
