Star Wars: 10 Most Powerful Things Luke Skywalker Ever Did

1. Force Projection - The Last Jedi

While everything else on this list is impressive, all of it pales in comparison to what Luke pulled off in The Last Jedi.

Here, it isn't just the force power itself that puts it at the top - though make no mistake, projecting a perfect seamless hologram of himself halfway across the galaxy that even fellow force user Kylo Ren was convinced was real is quite the accomplishment - but what he pulled off as a result of it.

The resistance was dead. No two ways of thinking about it. No backup was coming, the galaxy had resigned themselves to living under the thumb of the First Order, and the most the Resistance could hope for was going down kicking and screaming.

And then Luke showed up and humiliated Kylo Ren at his peak of power on the galactic stage. Ensuring that, even though he technically won this day, he would not walk away remotely satisfied with it. Thus solidifying his legend across the stars as the greatest of the Jedi with this - the most powerful action performed by Luke Skywalker.
