The universe has already made almost all the stars it will ever make

The idea of having some ultimate meaning is (as far as we can tell) an invention of the human mind.

Whether life has meaning, whether it needs to have meaning, or even whether the meaning of life is predicated on influencing the universe is up to you to determine.

If you asked 10 philosophers and religious leaders about the meaning of life, you'd probably get 100 different answers ranging from "seeking knowledge", "enjoying life", "serving [god or supernatural force]", "making others happy", to "there is no meaning".

I would hope to hear ten answers of "I don't know."

I fear you'd be disappointed. The religious leaders in particular are likely to be very gnostic about this topic.
