the one and most important reason a government cant change a name of a star:
with the exception of Sol, every star was discovered by an astronomer. the discovery is that astronomers own, and thus the astronomer can name the star whatever he/she likes. the name is infact legally their own, and by law you cannot simply go and change a name of a celestial object, you have to deal with the person or estate of the person who named it. What do u think the likelihood is of these people saying "sure, rename the star my grea great great grandfather discovered." ?
not very likely =)
and i dont think anyone would change the name of Sol, its sort of tradition

Uhh N'Kra...do you really think that a rebel government would care what the governement they were rebelling against named their star?
