In episode 6 when the repaired deathstar is being attacked by the rebels, it's firing off shots left and right! IF IT CAN FIRE REPEATEDLY IN A SINGLE BATTLE, THEN IT WOULD HAVE TIME TO RECHARGE AND FIRE A SHOT AT THE MOON AFTER HITTING THE PLANET!
...Also, if the planet was mostly gaseous (and since the moon was not directly on the other side of the planet), then wouldn't the laser just go right THROUGH the planet?
And even assuming it hit the planet and blew it up, the fragments that would have blasted out of it would have caused some major damage to the moon.
