Yikes.... I remember the amazing anti-anti-gravity bombs on the dreadnaught, but it looked to me like it damaged a good part of the ship, but hadn’t completely destroyed it and was still posing a major threat. That makes sense now.
I must have really missed something between when the supremacy arrived because I thought it was the same ship, HAHAHAHAHAH!
Oh man I feel like an idiot and I’ve watched the film 4 times. I need to see this part again as I most certainly didn’t connect these dots.
In regards to size difference arguments.... Luke’s tiny X-wing proton torpedoes had enough kick to set off a major chain reaction to single-handedly destroy an entire planet-sized space station. If it was built under the same blueprint plans as the first Death Star, those torpedoes must have hit a heck of a mark in that huge base where the reactor cores were in ROTJ.
I totally understand the logic arguments of size comparison in the real world and don’t deny any of that, but Star Wars has always been known for certain rules not applying to how things work in its universe.

Remember, the bombs were supposedly magnetically driven, but didn't follow inverse square law. In other words, the bombs should have increased in speed exponentially as they approached the Dreadnaught.
And y'know what, THAT would have been SO COOL! ! Physiciist would get on tv and rant about it! Watching bombs lock on a target and speed up as they got closer. But when you make that point, you get told science doesn't apply. It only applies when someone wants to explain something sloppily written and they hope you don't see it.
The bomber scene, y'know, where they armed the bombs INSIDE the bombers and blew each other up.
The bomber scene, y'know, there they grouped together to become on easy target.
