Maybe that’s why Pluto’s orbit is so skewed?

It certainly would have skewed things but it was still a long way from Pluto’s orbit. Sedna has a much more elongated orbit that takes it out that way.

70,000 years is the blink of an eye. It could have unsettled comets that are currently headed this way but are still unseen.

However its also important to remember that the Oort cloud is likely but still theoretical.

Maybe not this particular star, but something put Pluto where it is. Triton, a moon of Neptune is believed to be a Kuiper Belt Object like Pluto and very similar in size and composition. Some believe the asteroid Ceres is also a KBO. We’ll know soon since a spacecraft is already sending pictures of Ceres and will be in orbit soon.
