I've been bored this Christmas, so...
What would be the effect of a Death Star firing its Superlaser at a standard yellow sun? A red giant? A neutron star?
What would be the effect of a Death Star shooting a flak burst, assuming it's possible?

For normal star You'll get fucking big solar flare, but I don't know what would happen to a neutron star. For the flak burst apart of a 1E38 J explotion I don't know what would happen.

I think that this has been already done, but if a DS can fire its superlaser in a flak burst I would assume that if used agianst a fleet it would destroy the fleet, or at least most of it depending on the fleets size, due to all the thousands or possibly millions of superlaser bolts flying off.

Since the power of the superlaser is much bigger then the continuous power output of the neutron star, I could image that it could blow out a chunk from the neutron star.

If, rather than use its superlaser, the DS1 fired every single turbolaser it had (or, at least, every one that it could bring to bear on a single target at the same time) at a shielded planet like Alderaan, what would the effect be?

Also, how much damage would it cause if it were scaled down to 1 foot in Diameter?
