6 - Starkiller needs a star to power up. How many planets in their galaxy with more than 1 Sun? Suck up a Sun -> fire it -> no more Sun to power up -> abandon it and build second Starkiller? Might as well build 5 Deathstar with that resources
//yap..pure fan service with bigger scale..and poor concept of superweapon..

It appears Starkiller base (SKB) is approximately as big as Mars.... A sun in a solar system is approximately hundreds of thousand times more massive than a nearby rocky planets... Example: The Sun is 330k times more massive than Earth (mass to mass).
It appears SKB only siphon the outer plasma of it's host sun, enough to dim it temporary..... it does not consume the sun...hence the one base with almost limitless usage...would last millions/billions of years...
More troubling would be the firing of the weapon has to go through wormhole/hyper-drive/warp-drive as well...this is because SKB is half a galaxy away from Hosnian Prime, say 50k light-years... for Han/Rei/Finn/Kylo on Takodana to be able to observe the beam(s) and the destruction of the planet...Takodana would have to be on the same solar system, if it's another star system, it'll be too far to see the beams and even if the explosion can be seen it'll take half a year or longer to be seen (star to star distance)... if the weapon traveled at the speed of light, it would take 50k years. SKB at most is a planet destroyer, and not a solar system destroyer.
By warping the travel space for the beam, it can be fired anytime (when charged) even without direct line of sight....unlike the 2 previous death stars...
^p.s...... Scientific review, justification...
