This generation, was the generation Jesus was addressing. Same as in Matthew 23 where he tells the Jews, Verse 36, Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation
So when did the stars fall from heaven?

The stars are symbolic. What do we call stars? TV, Film, football, Cricket, stars. They are people, so are stars in prophecy.
Gen 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Then how do you know that the "generation" is not symbolic?
Every time Jesus used “this generation” He was referring to the generation that He was addressing.

There are examples throughout the bible where stars are people. The only time they are referred to as a Angels is in Revelation 1 and many commentators believe that refers to the pastor or bishop of that church.

Right, since these are all symbolic, why not "generation" symbolic also?

Some people seem to think that generation does not mean "This generation" but some generation in the future. But they are usually people, who believe all prophecy is literal.

Jesus wanted every generation to be ready for his second coming.
We are raptured out of here when we die. Every now and then I get a little insight to where I see everything in the Bible applies to all of us. We are to be united together as one with one mind and one accord.
