I do not know what they want to do because Stars could continue to have a story. Maybe they did not want the same thing as Aikatsu to happen, keep adding new characters, new brands and that some of them have very little importance in the story.

The same goes for Idol Time. Sincerely both series had future (if they were thinking), but they decided to start another from scratch.
