Considering the immense power that the Force grants to its more skilled users, most of the Star Wars movies have actually been relatively restrained in not demonstrating truly ridiculous, out-of-this-world displays of force - at least until Palpatine literally knocked a fleet of ships out of the sky with Force lightning in The Rise of Skywalker.

But perhaps the most truly decisive depiction of the Force's potential is in the aptly-titled The Force Unleashed, which while again not strictly canon, features an unforgettable, all-timer Star Wars moment: Starkiller literally ripping a damn Star Destroyer out of the sky.

It's such a brilliantly badass demonstration of the Force's true potential that it's astounding none of the subsequent movies ever bothered to rip it off.
