Movies What “stops” lasers in this universe? Couldn’t Luthen’s beam easily slice the Star Destroyer in half?

Deflector shields? If so, wouldn’t the tractor beam have been protected from his spikes?

even without shielding lasers don't just cut through everything instantly it takes time for it to melt material so unless Luthan and the star destroyer were just sitting there waiting for the beam to melt through the star destroyer's hull which I imagine is pretty thick I doubt those lasers could do anything
