This will do what you want
{p1star,p2star}={p1,p2}/.First@{{p1->x,p2->y}}
But note often it isn't necessary to extract the values from rules. For example here is a root of a simple polynomial
In[17]:=
root=FindRoot[x^2-.5x-1,{x,0}]
Out[17]=
{x -> -0.7807764064044151}
Now this can be used to evaluate any expression of x say 2 x + 1 as follows:
In[18]:=
2 x+1/.root
Out[18]=
-0.561553
