What’s the most powerful weapon in the sci-fi universe? How does a lightsaber in Star Wars compare to the energy sword of Halo? What about a Death Star vs Dr. Who’s reality bomb? And how do they match up with a real life nuclear bomb? Foundation Digital made this infographic for Fat Wallet detailing the top sci-fi weapons in history measured by their “energy of devastation in Joules.”

Considering the AT-AT and Tripod from "World of the Wars" have comparable energy output how about letting them duke it out. Sort of messed up Han Solo's blaster and a light saber are multiple times more powerful than an AT-AT.

Don’t forget the Stellar Converter in Battle Beyond the Stars.

Amateur hour compared to the new weapon in the latest movie.

The Death Star had to be relatively close to blow up a planet.

The new version — constructed in a planet — can blow up a planet from light years away.

Still, a light saber is only a personal defense weapon
with a limited range. Hardly qualifies as an equal to say
a death star.

How many death stars on the head of a pin?

If someone had a transporter like in Stars Trek,
what world leader, or General, or army could survive.
Just transport whomever you need to into oblivion.
And you win every battle, everytime, without losing a soul.

The new death star planet in the new Star Wars. Apparently this weapon can fire from a remote planet and it has so much power, it creates its on warp field that the blast travels though and destroys a planet thousands of light years away.

The only problem is a couple of saboteurs can blow the whole thing up
