This video captures the generation of twenty to thirty-meter (65' - 98′) wide fireballs produced by Slave I's twin blaster cannons. The ability to proliferate fireballs in excess of 20 meters diameter denotes a capacity to harness multi-gigajoule scale energy-yields. Notice Slave-1 pursued R2-D2 from low altitude all the way to orbit with blasters firing continuously most of the time we saw them. Related article: blastech.info/pyrotechnics
Blaster Artillery Weaponry | Magnitude: pyrotechnical yield.

Blaster Artillery Weaponry | Magnitude: asteroid destruction
For scale reference
Slave 1 height = 21.5 meters
Slave 1 wingspan = 21.3 meters
DELTA-7 JEDI STARFIGHTER length = 8 meters

![Animation: How Fast is an Imperial AT-AT Walker | STAR WARS
The animation shows AT-AT walker locomotion at various speeds of travel from 5 km/h to 10 km/h, 20 km/h, 30 km/h, and 60 km/h. This graphic is presented to help viewers to visualize the AT-AT moving at various speeds.

The recorded rates of AT-AT travel across the icy Hoth tundra (in TESB) while firing weapons continuously ranged from 5 km/h to 9.5 km/h. Based on the animation simulating various speeds of travel, I suppose the walkers potential top speed is n the range of 20 km/h to 30 km/h approx.
Speeds approaching 60 km/h begin to look aesthetically displeasing. However;
In the video game Star Wars: Empire At War [note game mechanics are non-canon] AT-AT walkers do appear to move at a considerably faster pace, making between 1 and 1.33 (~) strides forward each second. So assuming that each stride is up to 10 meters in length then this suggests a speed of travel in the range of 35 km/h to 48 km/h.
However, stride length in the game may be shorter than ten meters thus cutting the actual speed down by as much as half (scaling how long it takes an AT-AT to travel its own length should be fairly easy with access to the game). The previous estimates of 35 km/h to 48 km/h are therefore an upper limit.
