2. Chirrut’s Faith
For me, faith has always been the bedrock of Star Wars. We’ve explored it through the eyes of Force-wielders like the Jedi and Sith since the beginning, so that makes Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen) special. Watching him walk boldly into the crowd of stormtroopers in the Rogue One teaser was cool, but hearing his declaration of faith in the Force — even though he doesn’t use it — while he does so in the trailer made it significant.
