Star Wars: 10 Most Powerful Things Luke Skywalker Ever Did

4. Harnessed A Black Hole - Star Wars: New Jedi Order

You would think being able to generate your own black holes would make you supreme lord of all on principle alone. After all, why would you f*ck with someone who could - on a whim - unleash a BLACK HOLE?!

That's definitely what the Chazrach thought when they discovered the technology to create black holes, and immediately set about conquering planets because what else would you use that kind of tech for? Unfortunately they didn't count on dealing with Luke Skywalker.

When the Chazrach whipped out a black hole to deal with the last Jedi master once and for all, Luke, harnessing the force, managed to TAKE CONTROL OF THE BLACK HOLE, and throw it back at the Chazrach.

Now, if we ran through every reason this makes absolutely no sense at all, we'd be here all day. The point is that this is a devastating use of the force, and one that more than solidifies that the force not only has no rules, but in the hands of the experienced, it can make you unstoppable.

Now, Rey being able to force persuade a simple-minded guard on her second or third try? THAT'S going too far and breaking canon, of course.
