    The weight of a precomplete star of a vertex \(v\) of a plane map \(G\) is the sum of the degrees of the vertices of \(G\) adjacent to \(v\) except the vertex having the maximal degree among them. It is shown that if a plane triangulation does not contain any sufficiently long chains of vertices of degree 4 then it contains a bounded weight precomplete star of a vertex of degree at most 5. The authors propose to use this result in forthcoming papers to obtain the best possible upper bounds for the 2-distance degree and 2-distance chromatic number of an arbitrary planar graph.
