It wasn't the FO's investment, or rather, it was begun around the time of TPM when the FO was still Palpatine's pet project. (It's actually Ilum, from SWTOR and other EU stuff.) This was canonized by the Fallen Order video game

I hate this. But even so, ok, "so we just happened across a system-killer, wiped out one of the major solar systems, and then withdrew in good order" - the only way this is a tactical error is if you're a fool and don't realize you get ONE shot with that & any more are gravy.

Ok first off, that is the stupidest thing I have heard in terms of megaconstructions in SW. Second: Again. You get ONE shot with that thing. You do damage which can literally NEVER be healed, more than any weapon in the history of the galaxy. Anything else is *bonus*

"How do we honor Han Solo's sacrifice?" "Let's name the star made out of the planet his son murdered him on, which also killed billions, after him"

I'll note briefly a planet of Earth's size becoming a star is super ridiculous but so is everything else about Starkiller

Smaller than Earth actually; it's described as twice the size of the Death Star, which is much smaller than Earth

It'd have to either be made of really dense material or else have some kind of artificial gravity for Kylo, Finn and Rey to walk around outside like that
