First and biggest problem is Empire would have build more warships over time. While Han Sola out quesiton know ISD well enough able carry all kind trick against during Star War Empire strike back.
Han Sola statement said" must likley not even entire Impearal fleet could destory that planet. Tell very little pratice first was that planet shield. Alderaan heavy defended Vader statement back that. Vader want to example Alderaan simple by fact that it was must heavy defended planet in Star War universe. We did see Star Destroyer blow smell piece space rock maybe big Mars moon at best.
Last fact is Empire fleet without question bigger as the war want on. Fact Empire able to build single Death star in few years. Suggestion Empire could easily build another fleet of ISD or other warships.
Problem even estimate on Star War Empire size fleet

Correct in the fact that Han Solo knows the capabilities of an Imperial Star Destroyer, and Imperial tactics and protocol.Jasonb wrote: First and biggest problem is Empire would have build more warships over time.

1) You are correct that Han Solo does not believe the Empire could blow up a planet.Jasonb wrote: Han Sola statement said" must likley not even entire Impearal fleet could destory that planet. Tell very little pratice first was that planet shield. Alderaan heavy defended Vader statement back that. Vader want to example Alderaan simple by fact that it was must heavy defended planet in Star War universe. We did see Star Destroyer blow smell piece space rock maybe big Mars moon at best.
2) Han Solo: The entire starfleet couldn't destroy the whole planet. It'd take a thousand ships with more firepower then I've...
This isn't a coherent statement, but a man in shock babbling, and this means that the sentences are not necessarily directly related to each other.
3) We don't know what defenses Alderaan had, but there is no source in which a planet covering shield is talked about.
4) We never see how low a Star Destroyer has to get to a planet's surface to bombard it. How far from the Star Destroyer were those asteroids?
1) What war are you talking about? Fighting the Rebel Alliance wouldn't require Star Destroyers. A lot of little ships would work better.Jasonb wrote: Last fact is Empire fleet without question bigger as the war want on. Fact Empire able to build single Death star in few years.

2) A Death will not equal its mass in Star Destroyers. YOu would end up with a lot of hulls, but no reactors, drives,life support, etc.
