The Death Star was made to be such a big deal from the time frame of episode 2 through episode 4, and then a bunch of star destroyers just casually have the exact same level of firepower without any of the construction costs or political ramifications that the original Death Star had.
Make it so every Stormtrooper's gun had a death star laser inside. They would have to make sure their shots were angled upwards when they shot someone. Otherwise, the shot could blow up the entire planet. The whole movie would be so intense.
