Y'all are really late to the party. I posted this feat in the CBF a month ago, lol.

Pretty dumb considering he could barely summon his saber in ESB and that he thought lifting an X-Wing was "impossible".

Sure. But then he should realize that lifting an X-wing is possible considering he did something far greater in scale regardless of the circumstances involved.

And the X-wing weighing 180 tons is physically impossible unless the density of the material it's made out of is exponentially heavier so a quote would be nice.
"180,000 KG -- Weight of Luke's X-wing lifted by Yoda using only the Force!"
-- Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know
And lifting something, under the circumstances Luke was, is a much harder task than causing something to "shudder".
Edit: Actually, there's conflicting sources here.
The newer ESB novel states it's only 10 metric tons.
This makes a hell of a lot more sense.
The X-wing begins to rise, rise, rise, up out of the swamp. Ten metric tons of steel and circuits hover over the water.- Taken from ESB: SYWTBAJ
Anyway finally we get a weight at least for a starfighter...only took what...30+ years? It was kinda annoying me really.
I mean we could just go logically a starfighter would weigh at minimum 10+ tons or so and just go up as the craft got bigger.
But to have actual confirmation is really nice.
