Can't believe you missed our Lens Review Database! It has a listing of all Pentax lenses ever made, including the Star (*) lenses. The search feature makes finding them even easier!
This pages contains the FA* Primes (i.e. 24mm, 200mm Macro, 200mm, 300mm/2.8, 300mm/4.5, 400mm/5.6, 600mm/4):
Pentax Lens Review Database - FA Series Primes
The zooms, such as 28-70mm/2.8, 80-200mm/2.8, and 250-600mm/5.6 are here:
Pentax Lens Review Database - FA Series Zooms
They are all autofocus and fully support all Pentax DSLRs. They are full-frame lenses, although Pentax DSLRs are not.
Below is a listing the DA*'s:

These feature SDM technology and are weather sealed. Image quality is arguably on par with the FA*'s. I guess the reviews speak for themselves- check them out!
Unfortunately, all FA*'s are now out of production. If you can find one used, it'll likely be very expensive- but may be well worth it!
