"why is the universe so dark when there's a star that is x1000 bigger than our entire galaxy. the sun is pretty damn bright from earth and its pretty far away. hmm"

As big as it is, it's only about 7-10 AU in diameter, Pluto's farthest distance from the sun is close to 50 AU. A dwarf planet, Eris, orbits anywhere from 40 to almost 100 AU from the sun. Don't get me wrong, it's unfathomably large, but it's no where near x1000 times larger than our entire galaxy.
