First of all, the star drainer clearly want draining the star in the system that was going to be destroyed. Secondly, the star reformed after the planet could no longer contain the energy, it blew up into a star. Slightly displaced but still functional.
Either way you slice it, that part would never work scientifically. "Slightly displacing" the star to the orbit of another planet (one that's relatively far away, judging by the snow) would wreck havoc on the orbits of every planet in the system, most likely shooting them off into space or crashing into the newly-formed sun. Besides, while they were siphoning the sun they would already mess everything up long before the planet exploded. It would also increase the mass of their planet by several orders of magnitude, collapsing it into a super-dense core and crushing everyone on the surface into a pancake.
Stuff like that is pure fiction and cannot be explained using our understanding of physics.
