So the ship needs to perform a gravity assist to avoid a cloud of dark matter or something. During the slingshot maneuver, they get so close to the star that they should’ve been absolutely vaporized.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
Anyone who hasn’t done a Mun landing shouldn’t get to direct space scenes.
