You'd need to run calculations, or at least give a reasonable framework of a case, lmao.BTW, you're once again grasping at straws and just dismissing sources you don't like - what's new? The firepower and power generation abilities of imperial warships are officially documented in various literature, some of which has been provided to you. Furthermore, we can calculate it from the films themselves by looking at events like acceleration feats and scaling from the Death Star. This isn't a real question. You should drop it.
The comet that struck Earth about 65 million years ago, released energy equivalent to 100 Trillion Tons of TNT (750 times more powerful then total energy output of entire nuclear arsenal at present).
Another, much larger comet struck Earth about 3.3 billion years ago. It literally produced 11 richter scale Earthquakes. One cannot easily comprehend the energy output of this event.
In-fact, humans have endured a 9.5 richter scale Earthquake not long ago. The most powerful in recorded history whose energy output was equivalent to 0.119E+08 atomic bombs.
Guess what? Earth is doing fine.
Earth is lot more resilient then you imagine it to be.
