Of course, if the devs wished to replicate a Death Star, then I don't have a problem with a laser being able to blow up a planet. According to calculations, you need 417 times the power of the Death Star laser to resemble a planetary-wide explosion. This could be problematic for internal dynamics and the structure of the planet, but there would likely be no explosion. An incredibly powerful but concentrated laser will just blast a hole through the planet and out the other side.
Realistically, the scenario Callipso proposes is more likely. It is more spectacular for the audience to watch things blow up, not just melt. Alderaan exploded because the directors made it so. It's really not a very good source of comparison with real life parallels.
