First Order TIE fighters assault Maz Kanata's castle on Takodana.
Individual bolts discharged from TIE fighter blaster weapons explosively decoupled huge sums of stone from the castle walls and a handful of blasts demolished much of the central complex. Note the scale of these explosions, many of the fireballs are much more than 10 meters (or 33 feet) in diameter, sometimes closer to 20 meters (36 feet).
Heat energy of 10 meter fireball ~133 megajoules
Heat energy of 20 meter fireball ~1000 megajoules (1 gigajoule)
Fireball estimate represents only a fraction of the total per shot yield of a TIE fighter laser cannon.
In another video TIE fighter fire produced an explosive fireball much larger than those seen here which easily exceed 35 meters (115 ft).
Heat energy ~4 gigajoules youtube.com/watch?v=k4gNCyvDBIs
