One use case for RDF* is to replace RDF Reification. RDF* can replace many, but not all uses of RDF Reification, so it doesn't address that use case completely.

Another use case for RDF* is to make RDF compatible with property graphs. RDF* makes RDF almost, but not quite, compatible with property graphs, so it doesn't address that use case completely.
