If memory serves, 2010 ignited Jupiter by crashing Saturn into it. But you’d actually need about 250 Saturns (or 85 Jupiters) worth of hydrogen to get the job done. A lot of the moons would be within that new super gas giant’s roche limit even before fusion began.
in the movie the weird black rectangles started appearing in jupiters atmosphere. it might have had something to do with the aliens creating a sun for europa, which had some kind of organic life on it
