A star in the serial number of any bill means that the original bill bearing that serial number had a defect and was destroyed.

Because bills are printed in large groups it's impractical to reprint specific serial numbers. Instead, a new set of serial numbers is started and a star is added to indicate that these notes are replacements. Collectors generally prefer star notes and it may make the bill be worth a bit more.

1935e dollar bill with a blue star in the serial number what is the value?

The star in the serial number indicates that the bill is a replacement for a regular series bill which didn't pass quality control when printed. There are many error bills available that were misprinted, folded, mis-inked, etc. If those bills had been detected before release they would have been replaced with a star bill. The serial number of the star bill is not in series with the bill that it replaces. Although some strive to collect star bills, there is no particular numismatic value to them except as my be derived from an unusual serial number or some other quirk. For instance, an error on a star bill would be a real find since it is hand selected to replace a damaged bill.
