GN-z11 is actually a galaxy and the Astronomy article to which I linked earlier in the thread says

quote:

The remote galaxy GN-z11, shown in the inset, existed only 400 million years after the Big Bang when the universe was only 3 percent of its current age. It belongs to the first generation of galaxies in the universe, and its discovery provides new insights into the early universe. This is the first time that the distance of an object so far away has been measured from its spectrum, which makes the measurement extremely reliable.


I have watched the video you linked to in the past and I remember that even it said that the Hubble had looked back to a galaxy existing some 500 million years after the BB.

I think there were first gen stars before first gen galaxies. I’m really not sure of the formational dynamics between the two worked though.
