You imply that it could be just an illusion, but then what is the reality behind the illusion? And for that reality too,how do you know it's not also an illusion, and what is the reality behind that? And so on.
So if we have to take the remark seriously, then it is like stating that nothing can be known about reality.
I'm not denying that a reality wouldn't need to be behind the illusion, only that it's plausible that whatever reality that turns out to be, it might not include planets and stars.
So again, when you say that without human consciousness stars and planets would still exist, that's an assumption, not a fact.
