Total starshapes:

library(ggplot2)
library(ggstar)
p <- ggplot(data=mtcars, 
            mapping=aes(x=wt, 
                        y=mpg, 
                        fill=cyl)) + 
     geom_star()
p

p2 <- ggplot(data=iris, 
             mapping=aes(x=Sepal.Length, 
                         y=Sepal.Width, 
                         fill=Species)) +
     geom_star()
p2

p3 <- ggplot(data=iris,
             mapping=aes(x=Sepal.Length,
                         y=Sepal.Width,
                         fill=Species,
                         starshape=Species)) +
      geom_star() + scale_starshape_manual(values=c(1, 2, 9))
p3
