Imagine thinking creating a massive sheet incasing a star is a good idea. If you create a massive skin encircling a star, there will be an equator spinning around at high speeds but you'll have two polar regions with fuck all velocity, the poles will just cave into the star. A sphere can only spin in one direction, it would as a result be torn apart because most of it wouldn't posses the escape velocity to cancel out the pulling effect of a star's gravity.
oh but in the future, there will be REALLY strong materials
fuck off, like there will ever be materials with trillions of times greater strength than carbon nanotubes (a very strong material).
We can look at other versions that don't have the polar region problem. For example, ring worlds. They are well, rings built around a star, basically a slice of a Dyson sphere, mogger mega structure tbh. Tbh it still can't be built. It would be torn apart be the gigantic tension exerted upon it.
