I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Jedha turned out to be the birth world of the Jedi Order (or at least the source of their name).

I think we have a winner.

I was kinda hoping there wouldn’t be a bunch of lame Force stuff in this. Sigh.

Gareth mentioned during the Rogue One panel that its only in there because Lucasfilm wanted to introduce it. So I figure it’s mostly used as a backdrop. Though I’m sure it’ll play some role in the characters of Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus.

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.

That aside though, I think it’s nice that they’re exploring the greater galaxy’s understanding of the Force. The original Star Wars hinted that it was viewed as a once popular religion. The Rebellion leadership would even end their briefings with “may the Force be with you.” So it would seem that it’s a belief that has a life outside of the Jedi Order alone.
