Morphology
The noun 'fan' clearly indicates an admirer, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer this is someone enthusiastic about something called 'Star Wars'; however the meaning hinges on knowing that 'Star Wars' is the proper-name film/media franchise rather than a literal combination of 'star' + 'war'. Because part of the meaning (the referent 'Star Wars' as a cultural product) requires encyclopedic knowledge rather than pure compositional inference, the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Star Wars fan simply joins the movie name Star Wars and the word fan, where 'fan' is short for 'fanatic', meaning someone very excited about something. So a Star Wars fan is 'someone who really likes' the films, books, or other Star Wars things.
