Why do you say random?
No rhyme or reason to it. With the YEC "light created on the way to Earth" hypothesilliness, a star that appears to be 100,000 light years away doesn't even need to exist. You could just rubber-stamp globs of light anywhere, one bunch for every stellar object, offset in such a way that it appears that the light has been travelling for a long time and originated from an object _____ light years away, rather than being generated closer to Earth.
Barking mad, I tell you -- Much less work to just let the universe be 13.8 billion years old and let the starlight travel on its own.
