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.
Well, it’s not like we’ll get any actual Force-users other than Vader (whose appearance I suspect will be quite short). And apart from Chirrut Imwe talking about the Force, it’s unlikely we’ll get anything specifically Force related. Even Jedha’s backstory has already been described as having been added by the story group for the sake of the EU. Kyber crystals wil probably be mined for the DS laser, but I doubt it will ever go anywhere beyond that (*maybe a brief mention of their use in lightsabers by Chirrut, or something like that).
