"Lot's of showings"

Uh no, the average rate of blaster fire in the movies has always been depicted as far slower than bullets- this includes the new movie, showing they have no intention of changing either. And yes, even in the 3D show and the cartoon they were depicted as subsonic as well, the speed of bullets at best; very little depicts them as hypersonic in speed. Maybe sniper rifles are capable of that and ship-based weapons are obviously faster- but regular blasters? No, those have been consistantly shown as far slower than hypersonic for 20 years of movies now. Mythbusters clocked the average at 130 mph, that should give you a clue how often they're shown being slow.

Also, seriously, Star Wars blasters aren't lasers- the lore admits this- blasters fire plasma. There are some lasers but they are specifically called lasers, not blasters. And lasers in sci-fi are hit and miss as is.
