And I'm saying that the beams are contained in force fields, so they don't interact with the ship's structure at all. A beam meant to destroy a planet wouldn't notice a ship of any size as it goes poof.
And i'm saying even with a force field channeling that much energy will have a strain

Okay, how much thrust does this LASER produce?

A lot. In some of the novelizations including TARKIN descriptions of large amounts shaking buckling near the array leading to further reinforcement around it as well as dampeners to keep the array from collapsing in perpetration for it's first firing (not at full power )

As for you objection to a LASER producing thrust you do realize this is Star Wars were space ship fly like they are in atmosphere etc .

Actually, some one of a physics bent could probably work that kind of thing out.

Of course, the numbers would have a deal of 'Error' since we don't know specifics such as Alderan's mean density or composition.

Don't forget that 'Solar sails' are a thing. So... if you have a laser beam... you can push such a sail all the same.

Cheers.

And that's on the receiving end, the light beams impact with the sail and impart kinetic energy. There's no thrust at the origin end.
