I believe the more pertinent question is - have you?

Before the current prevailing theory of what is at the center of our galaxy and others, the previous prevailing theory was that the bright bulbous center of our galaxy (and other spiral galaxies) contained millions of stars, not Black Holes.

The current prevailing theory of what is at the center of all galaxies is a supermassive black hole (with binary supermassive black holes in a few, generally the result of a galactic merger).

Due to the density of a supermassive black hole, it is theoretically possible for a star to exist within a galactic center. It is highly improbable, however (massive understatement). For such a star to also be able to support planets with life on them, it would have to have several very unique qualities.

It is more likely that if the writers of the show received a formal education in basic astronomy, that such a course would have taught the previous prevailing theory of what is at the center of our galaxy.

That seems unlikely. Few television shows or movies have their dialogue changed within a week of public viewing. Dialogue changes after that are usually reserved for censored versions of movies shown on television.

Given what we know of Mumm-Ra's personality, it's probably due to Leo's competence and loyalty as a servant. Even when Leo questions Mumm-Ra's choice, it's only apparently done as a question of whether the action best serves Mumm-Ra's interests. I doubt anything else would matter to Mumm-Ra at that point.

If Mumm-Ra had any living relatives at that point in time, I imagine he would be just as likely to harm or kill them for impeding his plans as he would anything else.
