According to this,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergalactic_star

Rogue stars are theorized to be the intergalactic space because of this,

The way these stars arise is still a mystery, but the most common theory is that the collision of two or more galaxies can toss some stars out into the vast empty regions of intergalactic space.

Just curious:is there any particular reason you think a star could be ejected but a planet couldn't be? – Asher Jul 23 '17 at 16:59
I think not, but since I'm not an astronomer there might be things I dont understand that make it impossible and I ignore them. They are structurally different in composition, size, etc. – Pablo Jul 23 '17 at 21:30
