Gravity is the only force that has any significant effect on interstellar scales.

Explanation:

Weird, because gravity is impossibly, fantastically weak, compared to the other three fundamental forces but it is much longer range as it decreases in proportion to #1/r^2#

The electromagnetic force (the other long range one) is irrelevant too as we never get concentrations of charge equivalent to the concentrations of mass involved in stars/planets.
