Star-lifting isn't well known even among sci-fi fans in 2015. In 1991 you would have to be a fairly serious space-geek/sci-fi fan to know about it.

And a far more serious one (certainly moreso than I) to think that it's a terribly likely thing in our future rather than just a fun notion.

Off course, in-universe, Star-lifting seems absolutely doable, once you know about the concept.

Admittedly, probably more difficult than saying "Accio sun."
