If the laser beam can travel at the speed of light

What will happen to people who are hit by a laser pointer blaster (Star Wars)? Unlike an ancient laser pointer that emits a coherent beam, the blaster emits a beam of superheated plasma, or a beam of self-sufficient high-energy particles, depending on who you are asking. The most powerful E-11 (standard stormtrooper carbine) can evaporate anything except reinforced durable steel.

Once the blasting bolt hits the unprotected flesh, the liquid inside the organism will boil and turn into steam, expand and severely damage the surrounding tissues. Blasting bolts can also cause a lot of bleeding, not just bullet wounds, because they can damage cells and blood vessels. At best, you just eat grass without suffering too much damage.

The worst thing is that the laser pointer hits an important place in you and your organs are evaporated. You died in a mess, a painful death. In the New Hope novel, the destructive power of the blaster gun is really crazy in the firing battle of Tantif IV. For example, in Tatooine, Han exchanged fire with the stormtroopers while escaping from the dock in Mos Eisley.

He didn’t actually hit any of them, however, the shot he fired caused a small explosion on the rock wall of the docking bay, and several shots he fired were close to the soldiers. The explosion was powerful enough to throw several stormtroopers to the ground. By the way, this makes the (extremely underestimated) protective power of the armor in Star Wars even more impressive.

If the green laser pointer beam can travel at the speed of light, why can’t we use the light in it and put the signal into the light to send signals to nearby planets to nearby stars. Then send it directly?
