One has to wonder how a superlaser fired from a battle station the size of the moon has such a narrow beam, though. You'd think such a beam would be thick enough to envelop and pass right through a conventionally-sized ship regardless of its overall intensity.
JEDIT: I think I just figured out what my problem with the Death Star II's beam blowing ships out of the sky is.
Turn down the power, the beam is narrower.
