Ele não afirmou ser sensível à força, mas com certeza faz coisas que não levam a nenhuma outra conclusão. Quacks, caminhadas e nada como um pato Força sensível.

Além de suas habilidades de luta (Veja a incrível resposta de Terriblefan), ele:
-
Percebeu que Jyn usava um colar de cristal Kyber (enquanto estava hiddent sob suas roupas)
“Would you trade that necklace for a glimpse into your future?”
The voice of the pilgrim. Jyn frowned and took another step forward, trying to locate the source.
...
“Your necklace?” the man repeated.
Jyn felt the crystal against her skin. Her necklace was still hidden, buried under layers of cloth.
And the man was blind.
“I am Chirrut Îmwe,” the man said.
“How did you know I was wearing a necklace?” Jyn asked, and felt like a fool, like a mark, even as she spoke.
...
It was the reply of a con artist. Jyn shook her attention from Chirrut to search for his partner (he must have had a partner, one who had spotted her necklace somehow) and immediately found her quarry: a hulk of a man with hair as wild as Chirrut’s was neat, in a filthy civilian flight suit and battered red plastoid armor half concealed under a wearable tarp. On
“How did you know I was wearing a necklace?” Jyn asked the second man, who shook his head slowly and snorted. ... (Chapter 4)
Não só isso, mas ele sabia que era um fragmento de cristal Kyber !!!
“What do you know of kyber crystals?” Chirrut asked. His tone was patient, prompting.

Chamado Cassiano de "capitão" quando não tinha como saber seu posto
“There is more than one sort of prison, Captain,” Chirrut said. “I sense that you carry yours wherever you go.”
...
Cassian frowned and turned back to the lock and the cavern. It was some minutes later that he realized no one had told Chirrut he was a captain. (Chapter 5)
-
Avistou alguém (acabou Bodhi) na próxima célula. Cego. Nem Cassian nem Baze notaram que alguém estava lá.
“Who’s the one in the next cell?”
Cassian tore his eyes from the guards and glanced over to Chirrut. It was the first time the blind man had spoken for nearly an hour. ...
Baze grunted and shuffled to his feet. “What? Where?” He crossed the alcove, lightly shouldering Cassian aside to make room at the door. He peered into the darkness of the cell across the way; all Cassian could see was shadows, but Baze pulled back abruptly, snarling. “An Imperial pilot.”
(Chapter 6)
-
Percebeu que a terra tremendo enquanto estava na célula não era Bombas de Prótons, mas algo pior (explosão da Estrela da Morte)
“Proton bombs,” Baze said, turning his eyes to the ceiling.
Chirrut shook his head. “No.” But he ventured no alternatives. (Chapter 8)
-
Alega ser capaz de sentir quando alguém tem uma intenção sombria
She should have been irritated by the curt explanation. Instead she could muster only vague confusion. “Why do you ask that?” she said, looking to Chirrut now. “What do you mean, Does he look like a killer?”
“The Force moves darkly near a creature that’s about to kill,” Chirrut answered. (Chapter 10)
-
Alega sentir raiva em Baze (embora isso possa ser apenas conhecer seu amigo íntimo)
Baze readied himself to pull the trigger on his cannon. To burn the platform with more blaster bolts than there were drops of rain on Eadu.
“I sense anger in you,” Chirrut said.
-
Baze ele mesmo, internamente em sua cabeça, afirma que a Força ajuda Chirrut
They hunted in sync, Chirrut always prowling near the rebels and Baze always prowling near Chirrut. Baze did not limit his targets to those who might spot the blind man, but he kept Chirrut under observation nonetheless; where the Force would fail Chirrut, Baze would not.
Ele próprio não nega totalmente, e afirma que a Força o protege, seja lá o que isso signifique:
Cassian, evidently, had other things on his mind. He watched Chirrut’s partner. “Is he Jedi?” he asked, with the hushed doubt of a man on the verge of a great discovery.
...
“No Jedi anymore,” Chirrut’s partner said. “Only dreamers like this fool.”
Chirrut shrugged mildly. “The Force did protect me.”
