If this should turn out be a black hole lurking in the Oort cloud we better get a space probe ready to launch ASAP! It could not be in the Kuiper belt, for the perturbation by gravity of planetary motion would be noticeable. There was some conjecture the so called Planet 9 some are looking for is a mini-black hole with Neptune mass. I sort of doubt this is the case. I am not sure how such a BH could have arisen. Star Wars was great when I was a teenager and they came out. Later these films lost some of their appeal, as character development is rather 2 dimensional. They are sort of space-operas with a mythic sort of aspect to them.
