Okay, I think we should keep in mind that the last time something like this came up, we assumed it was Hook through BTS. It ended up being about a character on a different show, even though he happened to die as well. The midseason finale ended with the audience under the impression that he wasn't actually going anywhere. If Robin does die in 5B, I say there's a good chance this blind item isn't about OUAT either and he'll be back in the next arc.

And would you consider Robin the "star" (or a super important character) of the show? Not sure if it's just semantics here, but it seems like it's referring to a character who is the main face of a show. For OUAT, wouldn't that be Emma? And I doubt Emma is about to killed off. Robin might be the least important main. I have general reservations about a permanent death considering this is the underworld arc where they all went to fetch someone back from the dead. So they are able to bring Hook back, but out of nowhere, Robin dies, leaves his children behind, and his soulmate Regina will just say goodbye and let it all be? Idk, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, even if you factor in the fury from 5x02 - lots of people will have cheated death in some way (David, Rumple, and Hook included).

But if this isn't a (poor) creative decision and Sean Maguire actually wants to leave the show, then I guess the writers gotta do what they gotta do and a death makes the most sense to write off his character.
