You can get a sort of pseudo-halftone effect, all depends on your greyscale image size. The larger the better.
First problem is the star, needs to be small which results in less-than-star-like shape.
This one 16x16 pix on transparent background, then copied to the clipboard and used as the clipboard pattern
Open the greyscale image then transparent layer on top. Filled with the star pattern, Layer mode set to Overlay
The next bit you will have to take my word for:
Still on that star layer Layer -> Transparency -> Alpha-to-Selection then invert the selection Select -> Invert
With the selection still active create a new from visible Layer -> New from Visible
On that new from visible layer, with the selection still active fill with white.
Kill the selection, Select -> None Put the layer into Hard Light mode.
Turn visibility of the middle layer off.
Why pseudo half tone? Strictly the stars should be sized according to luminosity.
