you say saturn's ignited version Lucifer's gravity wouldn't affect us..
but it would affect Jupiter.. and could it say.. over a couple years at the right newly altered vector .. bring Jupiter into itself and swallow it? thusly becoming even MORE of a force to deal with?

You seem to have a funny understanding of how gravity works. The gravitational pull of an object is determined only by its mass, ie, the amount of matter it has, and by its distance. Nothing more, nothing less. Whether it's a star or a planet, it does not matter, except that planets are traditionally lower mass objects than stars.
[edit on 19-5-2008 by ngchunter]
Newton's constant, which describes the strength of the gravitational pull that bodies exert on each other, is the most poorly determined of the constants of nature. The two most accurate measurements have experimental errors of 1 part in 10,000, yet their values differ by 10 times that amount. So physicists are left with no idea of its absolute value.
Now Jean-Paul Mbelek and Marc Lachieze-Ray of the French Atomic Energy Commission near Paris say they can resolve the contradiction by taking into account the location of the labs where the experiments were carried out.
The pair suggest that electromagnetism and gravity influence one another enough for gravity's pull to be noticeably affected by the Earth's magnetic field.

some disagree.

Unfortunately, because the gravitational mass of the Earth is so little, I bet the tiny black hole would get sucked into the supermassive at the center of the galaxy long before it got to destroy very much of the solar system.

You guys are dancing around this subject and not confronting the real "idea" of why to explode plutonium inside the atmosphere/pole of a gas giant.
Other than creating a star, why would there be a need to rid a gas giant of its hydrogen concentration?
This is the real question.
