Did they become stars at the end?
The candle Just could help them travel fast, and could not cause transformation. So I suppose they just traveled to that stars. then why they did not go to the same star?
They had just one candle and at last scene we see them disappear together. So they just could go to the place where they both had thought of that, not different places in the sky.
And finally I think if the movie wanted to show they still live happily, would be better to put them much closer. Because if I'm not wrong, when we see two stars from the earth with that that space between them, their distance must be too much. Even their distance would be much more than that if our angle and position of view to that stars be inappropriate.

I thought the same thing! I was like Awww, they're so far away from each other!

Perhaps a binary star would be more appropriate. But how to portray one in in the sky?

Yes, as stated, because he's in love with a star, he gains immortality becoming one himself. I too was only bothered by one thing in this whole film--how distant the stars appear to be from each other in the final cut. If you watch the deleted ending on the DVD, frankly, if a little more drawn out at the VERY end, I think would've been more satisfying. By drawn out, I mean that it's obvious the sequence of their ascension is not a final CG cut, it goes by too fast. Plus, you will notice that in this "alternate" end, the two are MUCH closer together than the film version.
However, one can also assume they reside in a bit of a heaven-like place, where perhaps they're not just stationary, shining beams of light, but actually "live" in an alternate reality, maybe taking on the illusion (or it's equivalent) of their human forms & freely traveling together throughout the cosmos, visiting with their star "family", & what we see on earth are merely their representative forms, how/ where they'd appear to Wall/Stormhold skywatchers, not necessarily what/where they are in their own version of the heavens...

This theory is also held up when she's walking around in the daylight and he mentions he can still see a star very clearly, then he realizes that the star is her, and since she's awake with the sun, so is the star.
