Sometimes the stars are actually large metal plates being used to hold the opposing wall ( also with another star ) together. This is a structural technique used to correct walls that are out of alignment, or buldging under the weight of the roof. They are connected by long lengths of steel rod, and usually have thread ends so large nuts and washers can be tightened down to correct the dimensions of the structure. Charleston South Carolina has many many homes with these structural plates, they called them earthquake plates, I'm not sure that SC suffers from any earthquakes, but the point is still the same.
