Not a goot idea
I should have checked
non Russian forms

The Polish form is completely regular. The Slavic etymon has
*g, which is palatalized to dz (3) > z in East and South
Slavic before palatalized /v'/, but not in West Slavic (Pol.
gwiazda, Cz. hvêzda).
The Baltic etymon has *g^, which is the source of Lith /z^/.
Vacillation *k^ ~ *k etc. before another consonant is quite
common in Balto-Slavic.

I suppose you are right this time.
Do you have examples of the contrary ?
Baltic having *g when West slavic having *g^
