It's a laser, lasers don't cause random elements to become combustible.

Technically, it's a bolt of hyper-energized particles, more akin to a plasma shot than a laser.
-
No real difference in this case.

Theoretically, it's a huge difference. The nature of a Blaster sounds is that it rapidly disperses on impact with a surface. So whatever the Death Star is firing, it's causing subsequent reactions throughout the planet, thus the uniform detonation pattern.

There is no evidence that blasters cause things to become combustible.

I'm not saying that a standard blaster causes things to magically become combustible. What I'm saying is that the Death Star main cannon, which appears to be a significantly different type of weapon from "standard" blasters, appears to destroy planets from some form of internal reaction.

It looks to be a laser. It has never been hinted that it causes chain reactions. So we can't assume it does.
