10 Star Wars Power Moves We've Only Seen Once

Sticking with the animated source of joy that is Star Wars Rebels, season two's 'Wings of the Master' episode also brought with it one hell of a rare power move.

Rather than being a case of a Jedi or Sith tapping into the Force to produce a staggering display of power, though, on this occasion it was a starfighter showing off its ability to unleash insane power.

With Hera Syndulla eventually convincing the Mon Calamari known as Quarrie to let her pilot his prototype B6 starfighter, aka the 'Blade Wing', the Rebel legend's early tests of the ship's firepower on Shantipole showcased how this heavy assault machine could deal out some serious damage.

So, when the Twi'lek finally arrived to assist her pals late in the episode, the sight of an entire command cruiser being blown out of the sky thanks to just one blast of the B6 starfighter's hyperdrive-powered composite-beam laser, didn't come as too much of a surprise to fans. Though, it certainly caught the Imperial blockade above Ibaar off-guard.

But rather than use this cruiser-killing piece of weaponry again in the wake of helping get supplies to the people of Ibaar, the B6's composite-beam laser was never actually seen at any other point in the series.
