What's the most powerful force feat we've seen in the Star Wars films?

Definitely Force projection.
You've got to think about how big space really is. Luke projected a perfect image of himself over light years. He was conscious, present, and able to react in real time -- all from a distant planet. It's the ultimate embodiment of the mind over matter philosophy that Yoda taught him. In that moment on Krait, Luke became the Jedi master.
How appropriate that the greatest feat of Force mastery was not an attack, but a way to reconnect with family and defeat a hateful threat without violence. Thematically, it's the perfect coda for the last of the old Jedi.

Somewhere between intergalactic Force Projection, and whatever Force bond voodoo in Ep IX allowed for matter transference.
No, what he accomplished was worth it. Until JJ blew it, of course. But projection has tons of uses in a short range scenario. And it wasn't created for TLJ.
Potential wise it's the object teleportation between rey and kylo. Way more impressive than luke's force projection, actual MATTER being transferred.
Practically used it was palp's force storm

This.
Instantly teleporting physical objects across the galaxy is some broken ridiculous shit.
It's the same power though. The reason Luke didn't transfer his body for real during his fight with Kylo is obvious.
It's not the same at all, and just projection killed luke in minutes, whereas kylo and rey were fine, so....no
Kylo and Rey were fine because Rey teleported a lightsaber, not herself. It's definitely the same power.
Hell, Sheev teleporting his soul from the Death Star shaft to the Exagol clone body is also the same power.
As far as power output is concerned it's Palpatine's Force Storm. It spread over an immense area and selectively disabled thousands of ships. Which seems nonsensical but they did say they brought more with us than there are of them, so yeah tousands.
In the situation created for the ability it worked.
But in the general context it made Luke a flashy distraction that last a few minutes and then killed him.
If Luke had used it against any less stupid enemy they could have just ignored Luke's projection entirely.
Its Star Wars, you can travel across the galaxy quickly and communicate across it with little effort.
a 1shot projection doesn't have great use imo.
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker: We Finally Know How Rey And Kylo Ren Swapped Lightsabers
It all makes sense now.

oh, the novelisation. that's a bit dubious then, but I guess it's possible it came from film material the author was given rather then made up by the author. I wouldn't use it as a certainty though
The full body projection was a great power thematically, perfect for Luke and the ideal version of a jedi, it was great for that specific situation in dealing with Kylo who would be super susceptible to being tricked cause he loses his mind when it comes to Luke.
When you're talking about straight up power and practical usage it sure ain't what I would want, it freaking kills you for a momentary distraction. When it comes to powers that can kill you then Ben bringing Rey back to life is the biggest feat, Ben accomplished what millenia of Sith couldn't despite all their efforts, he did the impossible. Taking the force projection and Rey/Ben's teleportion as all one power than it does get a lot better but the lesser forms of it I don't feel are more impressive than Sheev's force storm.
Thinking about it more the force ghost technique is probably the most powerful all things considered, you become an immortal, teleporting, lightning conjuring being of force energy who can still physically interact with the world. The only thing stopping them from solving every thing is the plot cause they refuse to impose any kind of limits on what the ghosts can do.

Wasnt the Force Storm like fucking huge?
Like it spread across a couple city sized ships?....Need to rewatch that shit.
It def is the most impressive thing ive seen in Star Wars.
Next is probably whatever the hell power it was that Rey and Kylo were using to get shit from one end of the galaxy to other instantaneously......keep training with shit and force teleportation should be possible right?
And Teleportation is one of my favorite powers period so im kinda biased.

The Force storm was destroying an entire fleet. That seems more powerful than anything else we've seen in the films. That's the most outward power we've ever seen. Luke's Force projection is the most power we've ever seen put into something.
If he really did make himself a better man after that, did he change his name? It seems like having the last name "Sleazebaggano" would be a hindrance to trying to convince people that you've turned your life around.

"Sleazebaggano?" lol, I see from google that that's his actual name.
Man I have never put TLJ in any dang pedestal, and have disliked many things that it did, and yet I thought that seeing Luke force projecting a different form of himself across planets being one of the coolest things ever.
Besides anything that brings me more Reylo gets a nope from me so I deeply apologize for brushing away object teleportation.
Kylo Vs Rey on the Death Star was like watching two gods of the force fight it out tbh, so the fact that emp was able to effortlessly fuck them up with the force drain makes the force drain the most OP move imo
Force projection is almost useless next to physical teleportation of matter. It's like skype videocall vs beaming, one just has one hell of an advantage over the other in every single sense. That being said, all of that is too OP and pretty stupid.
Nope, it's pretty spot-on tbh.
The greatest Force feat is telepathy.
It's a setting with planet-destroying superweapons and FTL travel, in terms of raw physical feats nothing the Jedi can do is that impressive. The power to mess with someone's mind, though? That trumps an entire armada worth of spaceships and death stars. (So, essentially, another vote for Palpatine's "make you all stupid"-jutsu and Uncle Palpy's Storytime.)

Moving objects across time and space by mere thought seems really fantastic to me. That's a lot more impressive to me than only projecting an image of oneself. I also think literally resurrecting people is insane.
I mean, force projection is what I'll say only because RoS was so videogame-y in it's force power levels that everything felt like bullshit. Like, teleporting object across space is arguably more powerful, but it was done with such ease that it was by accident, where-as projection cost luke his life. It's how it was presented that it was sold as an actually powerful thing and not just a level up skill tree.
EDIT: god damn RoS pisses me off so much. As someone who's always defended even the prequels (yes I know there's so much bad about them and other movies, but they're fun mostly), it's just so painful to watch.

"360 spin with demonic sith yelling, capable of mowing down the most powerful Jedi"
My vote :)))))))))

At the end of the day, it has to be force ghosts. Everything else pales in significance to the implications of that "ability".
From the list, its probably force storm. Everything else is very situational, but a force storm is most likely going to solve all your problems in most situations.

Not really. It kinda screams of "we never paid attention to Star Wars but we'll say everything in TLJ is breaking new ground anyway because it's our favourite movie".
When folks are busting out excerpts from novelisations to prove what Luke did in TLJ is just as impressive as what Rey and Ben did in ROS, you know they can't even accept that the finale of a trilogy would go one step crazier with superpowers than the rest of it.
I feel like both are equally impressive. I also don't think I quite follow what you're trying to say.
Sure you are not turning a blind eye on some TLJ-stans? Not talking about everybody, but some are very vocal in their opinion about TLJ being the best thing since Jesus.
I always wanted more of this. The first animated Clone Wars where Mace Windu takes on the Droid army definitely scratches that itch:
"There is no death, there is the Force."
A variation of the same thing said by every enlightenened being 🙃
All I've got in my head is the slow mo falling scene from Dredd.
