I too would prefer a film completely devoid of the Force but there are too many out there with the very strict opinion that it isn’t Star Wars without it.
It would be fine with me if they broke away from the decades-long saturation of Force\Jedi\Sith.
I do like that Jyn says “may the force be with us” with a sort of snark in her voice. It would be nice if she had a Han Solo view of it as hokey. I’d dig it if it were in there solely to show this particular section of the universe either dismisses it or has no knowledge of it.
