It can also be to keep the Universe from the eventual Big Freeze. If you can keep stars from blowing up, life in that universe can continue to go on. Though I assume that by that time a civilization will figure out how to jump into another universe. But it still goes back to the sentimental values you place on your own universe

They moved around stars in the Futurama episode Time keeps on Slipping. Fry arranged some stars for Leela to show that he loved her, but the formation was destroyed before she saw it.
Actually, she did see it, only it was in the time that got lost in one of the jumps, but since people didn't remember what happened in the lost time between jumps, she didn't realize that she had seen it. Which effectively means that she didn't see it, yeah.
