Moving Celestial Bodies Revision

Looking at the information presented here, it is understandable how the conclusions were reached. On the other hand, there is something I think should be taken into consideration when discussing things that affect celestial bodies within speeds below the speed of light.

When it comes to "moving a solar system", you don't necessarily need to take into account all the matter in the entire star system. Because the celestial bodies in a star system are gravitationally bound to their star, you only need to alter the trajectory or velocity of the star for the rest of the star system to follow suit in the same direction.

I am presenting it here, because I wonder if there are any feats that might be affected if this were taken into consideration.
 
I think it would be specified regardless since most fiction doesn't take this into account. Unless there's a "he moved the solar system" feat without elaboration that I'm unaware of.
