[Star Wars] Would Star Destroyers be able to blow up a planet if they bombarded it long enough?

In theory, yes. Orbital bombardment is actually what Star Destroyers are designed for. A Star Destroyer with a huge amount of time an infinite supply could destroy a planet. It would take years, possibly even decades, of constant bombardment however. In practicality, no. Even a fleet of Star Destroyers wouldn't be able to do that feasibly. It would take too much time and far too many resources. What a fleet could do in minutes and even a handful of ISDs could do in hours, though, is glass a planet. They would bombard it so much that everything on the entire surface is destroyed and almost nothing is left alive. That is certainly possible, and a lot of people even think that we did that to Emberlene about 20 or 30 years back. It's all lies, of course, they just pissed off their neighbors so much the neighbors hired a merc army to do it. It's not the first time.
