Ok what am I missing here?

Starkiller base is on a stationary planet. Fixed location.

It uses energy from the sun to charge the weapon, and converts it to a laser beam (or whatever) to blow up other planets. "When the sun goes dark, you'll know the weapon is ready" (paraphrasing). *The* sun, not *one of the* suns.

How many fucking suns are there? Seems like you could only use the weapon once, and then you wouldn't have a sun anymore so EVERYTHING would die, including everyone on Starkiller base.

What if that sun was the daughter of the dual suns of Tatooine?

According to this it's mobile

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Starkiller_Base
Starkiller Base was a mobile ice planet that was located in the Unknown Regions that served as a stronghold of the First Order three decades after the Battle of Endor.

They may as well have written "just don't think too much about it."

OMG maybe it's the same planet that was right next to Vulcan but not affected by that planet's destruction and also an ice planet but really close to the Vulcan sun and all that so maybe Star Wars and Star Trek are the same universe and Kirk's dad is Thor so
