Anything involving Romulus’ star means that ‘saving the planet’ is completely impossible.
Eventually, yes, but if it were possible to collapse the exploding star in a way that didn’t totally roast the planet it would buy a fair bit of time to continue the evacuation. It’ll get very cold and photosynthesis will stop, but with enough power and food, the population could hang on for several years if needed.
That’s from tie-in material, not the film itself.
From the script:
If the sun in question was the Romulan star, then turning it into a black hole to contain the explosion would not save the planet.
Killing the star would not save their planet.
