In this talk we will present some recent progress on the topological structure of the so-called star flows (flows whose critical elements, i.e., singularities and periodic orbits, are hyperbolic in a robust way). In particular, we will prove that for $C^1$ generic star flows, every chain recurrent class with positive topological entropy must be isolated. On the other hand, zero entropy chain recurrent classes only support trivial ergodic measures.
