Do we know how potent a hyperdrive explosion is? And by Pre-Nathema, do you mean pre-getting Chained, or pre-getting Unchained?

I think that was some chain reaction, iirc. Regardless though, the environmental damage isn't a necessary component of thinking the attack was powerful - lots of clearly potent Force attacks don't have massive environmental effects. We know that Galen drew on the Force more deeply than ever and then unleashed it all right next to Palpatine, and you can compare this to what he's been able to do with far less of his power.
I'm not sure if this is as much of a "barrier" feat, but Luke no-selling UnuThul's TK might be the single best one given that:
- UnuThul has the combined potential of trillions of beings
- UnuThul can bend away barrages of turbolasers, which have been stated to be lightspeed weapons with sublight tracers
- It is stated in language that frankly doesn't sound very metaphorical that Luke was literally immovable, black hole etc.
