Its why Jabbas goons in RotJ al crap themselves when Leia as a bounty hunter pulls out a thermal detonator its basically a hand held nuke using baradium. The reason the rebels can blow them up so easy is plot armor and the power level of things like Star Wars proton torpedoes which are energy based shaped charges that channel several megatons to giga tons worth of power to break a shield (such as the bomber in Last Jedi). IN ESB for example they take Vaders fleet into an asteroid field and the shields bounce large asteroids off them for a bit, in the old EU an ISD was caught on the edge of a Supernova and survived although it fried all the sensors. SHips in Star Wars used to have things like the Warhammer ones but they do not use kinetic based artiller and old missiles any more (because they do not work).
Both the New Republic and Imperial Remnant i the old lore went smaller with micro technology and more droids to reduce crew sizes and improve firepower with the new Imperial ships being similar in size to Victory class Star Destroyers but with a bit more firepower than an ISD II (kind of similar to todays frigates having missiles than can take out a bigger WW2 era battleship). Its why I said I would mostly ignore the old legends canon except where it doesn't contradict the new canon or you can use it for an example of how things work (in general) in the SW galaxy. The First order has actually teched up faster than the old Imperial Remnant has in legends as they lacked anything like a Resurgent Class Star Destroyer which is similar perhaps the ships from the old legacy era (140 years after the original trilogy).
From the Clone Wars through to Last Jedi you can see the changes. Improvements did happen of course but it was more gradual but that changed a lot from around the prequal era. In the old cannon technology did kind of stagnate. For example just a few hundred years earlier lightsabers still had power cords.Īlso KoToR still had more advanced stuff than the Dark Age of Technology which is perhaps (at best) comparable to the Golden Age of the Sith era in Star Wars which was around 5000 years before ANH. If you time warped a KoToR ship to the time of the Empire it would get chewed apart by modern weaponry and hyperdrives are faster now than during the KoToR times. IN that 4000 years technology did not stagnate.
