As for how sensible Imperial tactics in this situation are or aren't, here's my take: We know from the series that Mandalore was previously a loyal Imperial system, but due to the events seen in the Star Wars: Rebels CGI TV series, the Imperial loyalists were overthrown by a new government that...

Er. Do I really have to point out that just because they're producing mushroom clouds does not mean they are nuclear weapons? A mushroom cloud is produced any time you have a sufficiently large omnidirectional explosion -- it means those weapons are nuclear level yield, not that they are...

Less raw power does not automatically make weapons "inferior". There's a reason ICBM forces switched from megaton-range single warheads to kiloton-range multiple warheads, and precision delivered mini-nukes along the lines of what the TIE Bombers are deploying are literally the *Holy Grail* of...

The "Atomic Annie" was removed from service because it was hopelessly vulnerable, as it could only move at a 35 MPH crawl on specially made 28-foot-wide reinforced paved roads. As for single-engine jets. . . a single-engine jet fighter can carry in theory three or four, and in practice one, low...

United States: Requires a vulnerable fixed launch site and a 80,000 ton ICBM missile to loft just three warheads accurate to about 800 feet. Galactic Empire: Standard light tactical fighter-bomber can carry sixty-four warheads and deploy with precision accuracy.

Those were TIE Bomber ordnance. Even if you assume they're the larger proton bombs and not just vehicle-scale thermal detonators, that demonstrates that small, cheap, common fighter carried bombs are on the scale of strategic warheads.

Those aren't turbolasers, those are rapid-fire blaster cannons. What makes those guns really nasty is they're on par with the bigger end of starfighter guns, but with a *vastly* higher rate of fire and enough generator capacity to sustain fire indefinitely, versus starfighters which are...

Except we've *repeatedly* seen that seismic charges produce an exotic energy effect in the form of an expanding planar ring of shatter-cutting. The visual effect seen in BoBF Episode 4 is completely consistent with that; the sand burst was clearly a surface disturbance from the exact same...
