I don't know why the crew was so amazed by the power of the aliens.
We don't know for sure that the planet and sun were created, yea they weren't there before when the seeder ship came through, but perhaps they were moved. We have seen Sam create a hyperspace window with a cargo ship large enough to move a massive asteroid, maybe their planet was dangerously close to a potential supernova and they opened a massive hyperspace window and moved the star and the planet. Yes it would take a lot of power and advanced technology but it could be done. All stars and planets are moving with the expansion of the Universe, so you wouldn't even have to push the star into the window, you would just need to open the window in front of it and allow it to enter. If necessary, I am sure the Ancients could have figured it out.
Restoring the shuttle could have been done with a technology similar to the Asgard beams. Scan the original and fabricate a new one. The Asgard themselves could have easily done it. Moving the shuttle to the Destiny would have been hard, but we have seen "wormhole drive" before, so all they would need is a machine that opens an external wormhole window to allow them to move the shuttle (as opposed to needing the drive on the shuttle itself i.e. Atlantis) Finding Destiny isn't outside the realm of possibility since it is only in the next galaxy and we have seen that Atlantis' normal sensors are able to scan the entire Pegasus galaxy so it is a slight stretch to increase scanning range to an adjacent galaxy.
Finally, the aliens did a really crappy job restoring the dead crew members. The Goa'uld could have done a better job. We have seen this technology before, many many times, in the sarcophagus. At least if the crew had been revived in a sarcophagus they would have continued living. Yes it eventually steals your "soul" but we have seen Jack and Daniel go through it dozens of times and they are alright now. This in itself seems to make these aliens seem like screw-ups.
It doesn't really make sense that the crew is bowing down to these aliens as all but "gods" given what we have seen. I think Eli is correct about their technology being advanced, but not "magic" since everything they have done could be repeated by the races we know.
btw - In other threads people have said they don't think Ascended beings could do what these aliens have done, but the thing is, we have never really seen what a group of Ascended working together could do. Every good Ascended we have seen has had to tiptoe around avoiding the wrath of the "others" - but we have never really seen those "others" put their power to full use. Ascending seems to give you almost infinite knowledge so it possible that these devices could be constructed. Someone said that Merlin "had" to become mortal again to combat the Ori, but it is entirely possible that he could have used his Ascended powers to construct the anti-Ori weapon... the reason he descended was so he could do it behind the others back and not have them stop him.
All in all, I think the crew is being just a little too easily impressed.
