* RefugeInAudacity: The attack on Scarif is absurd in the extreme. Yes, the data cache is extremely valuable, which is why the Empire has a substantial garrison, including two Star Destroyers and ''huge'' squadron of TIE fighters, as well as elite troops on the surface. It would be next to impossible to physically remove all the data tapes before reinforcements arrived, and the size of the files ensure they could never be transmitted in time either. Thus, their effort ''actually works''. The attack begins with a ridiculously small force that is able to infiltrate the station, but has no hope of achieving its goal. Until a rebel fleet unexpectedly arrives. The officers on the ground are absolutely stunned when Rogue One's diversion begins on the ground and Krennic has to scream at them to SCRAMBLE THE TROOPS. When the Rebel fleet arrives, the Star Destroyers respond with the same stunned disbelief, allowing a collection of light cruisers and a single heavy cruiser to take them down.

* ApocalypseHow: A Class 5 example. Despite the Death Star only shooting at minimum power, the superlaser targeting the Holy City of Jedha delivers a huge amount of energy, seeming to have penetrated the moon's crust and created a shockwave in its mantle, as the ground is shown ''peeling off the surface of the moon'' (which is [[ShownTheirWork what would happen]] if a planet was hit by a large enough impactor, and presumably a [[DoomsdayDevice giant]] [[DeathRay death laser]] as well). The moon probably isn't going to be habitable in the wake of such massive geological devastation.

Expanded Universe material confirms this resulted in a gradual Class 6 that resulted in the planet being nothing but a series of rocks by 4 ABY.
