Star Wars: 10 Best Ever Uses Of The Force

6. Luke Versus The Wampa - The Empire Strikes Back

In the original Star Wars sequel, Luke very quickly manages to get knocked out by a wampa, the basic Star Wars equivalent of The Abominable Snowman. He awakes to find himself upside down in an ice cave, his feet frozen to the ceiling and his father’s lightsaber agonisingly just out of reach.

What follows is the very first example of Force telekinesis in the series; Luke escapes the cave in the nick of time in a very fun, very tense scene. Legend has it that Children of the Eighties everywhere are still inspired to try it for themselves whenever iPhones and remote controls are way across the room.
