Star Wars 10 Most Powerful Uses Of The Force

1. Ripping Down A Star Destroyer (The Force Unleashed)

Other force abilities may be more devastating on a base level, but never before has being given the force made you feel like a god among a galaxy of ants than in Force Unleashed, when you perform the force feat that literally ALL of the advertising had been building up for you: using the force to rip a Star Destroyer out of the god damn sky.

Starkiller has been utterly cornered on a junkyard planet with a Star Destroyer - and the hordes of stormtroopers waiting within - coming down to finish him off. Fortunately, his new Jedi master Rahm Kota suggests something, well, completely insane. That of course being to bring the massive starship down for an early landing.

The game makes sure that you are well aware of the enormity of this task, as you have to endure the barrage of lasers from TIE fighters while also pulling with all your might to bring the ship down to the planet below. But once it makes landfall, the results speak for themselves.

It isn't just the feat itself, though it is impressive, it's how the game frames it against everything else you'd done up to that point. Really driving home that there is nothing that the force can't do.
