weight ain't energy, very different things. or have you never looked at the simple formula?

Your openeing scene from new hope is merely spray and pray fire from the hip... very accurate....

As for Stormtrooper Armor protecting anybody from anything: weird that they went for clone troopers that could easily be replenished despite the horrendous losses or weird that sticks and stones were enough to kill stormtroopers on endor.. very durable armor indeed. It is generally assumed that you produce armor of the variety x because you know yourself to be cpable of dishing out damage x. Quite bad that the scene you offered us shows a stormtrooper being dropped/felled by ONE blaster hit.

Should we go into the detailed function of a cyclonic torpedo, igniting the atmosphere is actually the 2nd stage of a lifeeater attack, the cyclonic torpedo cracks mantle and core of a planet, actually tearing it asunder.

Sidenotr: yeah that is 13 executioners and 2 eclipses and hundreds of venators and the likes. Now let me remind you, your gal Imp destroyers and battleships outside of those 15 big ships are of frigate size to the ships of the IoM, which tend to have many many more ships around anyw<y as the gal imp is not involved in 24/7/365/forever warfare on all sides of the imperium with no peace anywhere around. there is no logical need for the gal imp to maintain fleets and armies the size of the w40k imperium. (and then we have not even talked about the sdf fleets for every single civilised planet.
