  Recent high-statistics Au+Au and Cu+Cu runs at RHIC have provided a wealth of
new data that allow STAR to answer several outstanding questions regarding the
nature of the hot, dense medium that is created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion
collisions. However, the new data also raise new questions that require further
study. Here, we focus on a few qualitatively new results presented by STAR for
the first time at Quark Matter `05.
