[@Mazra42]

@@thesaucylorax It's called the pre-explosion buildup trope. And this is Star Wars, there's not a lot of emphasis on realism. Previous episode had a little green alien with telekinesis after all. If you need to anchor the seismic charge effect in realism, you can always handwave it with the implosion happening before the explosion, or something something antiphase, or maybe the pre-explosion explosion sends out a frequency that temporarily overwhelms your sense of hearing, or maybe it's because of midichlorians - who cares.

Like people think it could've been produced better, better dialogue, go in more detail on some things. Still good movies though. The new movies by Disney have some problems though to say the least. Many think Disneys movies shouldn't even exist, that they should've done something completely different. Whereas I think most people agree the prequels were a great idea, deserve to exist.....but could've been made a little bit better.

I believe the seismic charge was based on the depth charge (although not sound-wise obviously.) It's not exactly a sonic boom since sound waves don't propagate through a vacuum, more like an energy wave.
