They won't cast much of a shadow if the star is much larger than the planet, just like low flying plane casts a shadow smaller than the plane, while a high flying plane casts no shadow at all on the ground.
True... not a complete shadow anyway which will only extend a fraction of the distance star-planet, again only partial dimming, probably obscured by other effects...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
