Anyway, I suggest either "Crown of the Planet" or "Crown of the Star" as the best translations.

Neither is ideal. We pretty much know here that Nasu is refering to Earth, so there's a case for rendering it as closely as possible to his actual meaning in the context of the lore by translating it as "planet". But the way he's phrasing it is quite atypical in Japanese, so there's a case for preserving that and using "star".

I think "planet" is probably better because it is consistent with the established translation of 星の内海 as "inner sea of the planet".

Either is better than the current one though, because the plural "stars" implies something else entirely. Obviously there is no distinction in the Japanese text, but since we must chose a distinction in English we had better go with the one closer to the actual meaning in context of the lore.
