Reminder of Genshin lore bcus ppl seem to have forgotten this and think the new lore introduced in Nod Krai is random;
The travelers were never stated to be stars in canon. This is an assumption that the fandom made based solely off the 2 second part of the beginning cutscene that shows the twins descending (crashing) onto Teyvat, which looks like a pair of shooting stars.
People found other bits of evidence like color schemes and visual elements and concluded that the traveler was a star. At the time, this was a solid and understandable conclusion, and we knew SO LITTLE about them for years that what once become a theory became fact in the minds of many.
This happens every now and again in this fandom, so just be careful!
