Yeah, probably so. Also, does it make sense for SKB to explode into a star since in this proposed version it would have already discharged its stellar energy?
I’d actually thought about this as well. I think within the context of the theatrical version it doesn’t make sense but within this version it could. If the energy of an entire star was compressed inside a planet smaller than it, why wouldn’t it explode back into its massive size instead of turning into a planet-sized star? But if Starkiller base already released most of the sun’s energy firing, it’s possible what we see is some residual energy that was still inside. So you could keep it the same size/color or you could make it a white dwarf star, which are smaller in size but have equal mass to a star similar to our sun.
