Has anyone estimated the explosive yield of a Star Wars proton torpedo?
Short answerAbout 100 kilotons is offered as a high-end estimate, with the caution that Star Wars proton torpedoes are distinct from Star Trek photon torpedoes.
NotesStar Wars proton torpedoes must first be distinguished from Star Trek photon torpedoes, which are easy to confuse by name. A high-end proton-torpedo estimate of about 100 kilotons is offered as a benchmark rather than a single uncontested canon figure. Even that yield remains well below the extreme weapon effects attributed to some of Glenn Stewart's fictional warships in the preceding comparison.
