10 Scariest Uses Of Force Power In Star Wars History

8. Starkiller Singlehandedly Pulls A Star Destroyer Out Of Orbit And Crashes It

In the Force Unleashed games, you play the role of Galen Marek, codenamed Starkiller, the secret apprentice of Darth Vader.

At one point, you are undercover with the Rebels when you are tasked with destroying an orbiting Imperial shipyard. After killing the base personnel with ease, Starkiller does the job with a giant cannon that fires huge chunks of ore.

However, one Star Destroyer survives, and begins its inevitable descent towards the planet. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to clear the area in time, Starkiller taps into the Force to control the ship.

Starkiller does indeed bring the Star Destroyer down, correcting its trajectory, almost becoming one with the ship, able to feel the air streaming past it and pieces of it tearing away. The Star Destroyer still crashes, but without the catastrophic results had it simply spiraled into the planet.

While this isn't the only instance in this list of the Force being used to move massive objects, it is the only instance of a Force user displaying this amount of power on their own. While the end result was not exactly negative, Starkiller's display of raw power and Force control, knowing he is secretly a Sith apprentice all the while, is terrifying.
