Star Wars: 10 Best Ever Uses Of The Force

9. Rey Clears The Way For The Resistance - The Last Jedi

In a film that sees the heroes (and also, perhaps, the audience) frustrated at every turn as plan after plan fails, there are three Jedi miracles the Resistance fighters witness that serve to spur them on and keep a flicker of hope alive.

The first is the very divisive ‘Mary Poppins’ moment of Leia floating back to safety after being blown out into space; the second is Luke’s Grand Showdown Fake-out against his wayward nephew, Kylo Ren (check out those glowing crosses as he heads out of the base); the third is Rey’s Force levitation of the rubble blocking the Resistance escape.

Each moment is seen from the perspective of the astonished rebels and, as Rey saves the day, we understand that the torch has been passed and she has become their new hope.
