The material .data file contains a reference to the image file, but also
additional attributes. These attributes are seldom used, but one of them is
used for stars: additive_blending (which makes the stars transparent).
When you delete the .data file, this property is lost. Then the material file
is re-created from the image file, but it doesn't have the additive_blending
property.
You can add it again with:
material = soya.Material.get("star")
material.additive_blending = 1
material.save()
