    $\begingroup$ I had to see the answers to understand what this was asking. Perhaps "star extrusion to circle " should be reworded as "connect the star vertices to the circle". $\endgroup$ – person27 Sep 18 '17 at 3:27

Take the star, go to edit mode (Tab), select all vertices (A) and extrude it (E).

Stay in edit mode and keep the selection. Choose "Transform: To Sphere" (Shilft+Alt+S) and drag the mouse until you have a nice circle. Scale the circle (S) if you think it's too big.

First of all, your Circle should have the same amount of vertices as your Star (or it can have more but then it will be more complicated).

Also you can add Circle in Object Mode and join (Ctrl+J) it with Star or you can just add Circle while being in Star Edit Mode.

Then select both shapes (outer edges) and press CtrlE > Bridge Edge Loops.

After that you will want to select all and Recalculate Normals - CtrlN.

Enable the Looptools Addon.

Extrude the star and then use the loop tools>circle to turn the selected vertices into a circle.

If you want this as Node Setup and using Sverchok Add-On in Blender:

Just for the sake of adding more answers...

You can also do this backwards. Start with a cylinder, select one of the edge loops, do checker deselect and scale the selected vertices to form the star shape.
