Yeah, I'm totally cool with Chirrut as not-a-jedi, too. And I really like that interpretation because, like you said, it breaks the Jedi's monopoly on the force. It's the kid at the end of TLJ force-pulling the broom; You don't have to be a Jedi to be a force user, the Jedi are just one tradition.
The old continuity books got in to this a fair amount. Luke was always stumbling across esoteric force traditions or individual practitioners without formal trading. One really goofy thing I liked about the old version of the Jedi Order; There were tons of different kinds of Jedi. The Knights were the martial branch, but there were scholars and academics, medics, diplomats, explorers. And my favorite was that the Jedi had an agricultural corps! Some Jedi were agricultural experts and would use the force to help people improve their agricultural practices and yields. I never read any of the stories where they showed up directly but I like to think of a Jedi sitting zazen in front of a tomato plant while some farmers look on being like "Is this guy for real?" and then the Jedi is like "The tomatoes say your soil could be slightly more acidic".

I would have liked The Last Jedi if Rian Johnson actually committed to some of his plot twists instead of yoinking them back at the last minute. Granted, the broom kid was at the end of the movie and Abrams fucked up that for himself by making it about special destiny dynastic failson magician families, but you get me I hope.

The Jedi should have had non lightsaber branches if it was supposedly a galaxy-wide religion intended to be about life itself, but nope, we get magic cops that kidnap children to indoctrinate them to be more magic cops.
Agreed. TLJ is a flawed movie with a lot of ideas I like.
I would deeply love a slice of life story about Jedi just doing stuff. Like one episode is a Jedi settling a dispute over animal grazing by talking to a bunch of elders about customary law, one is just an entire quiet montage of a group of Jedi cleaning their temple in preparation for a festival. Have an episode with two Jedi going shopping for supplies for their monastery. Have an episode where a padawan adopts a dog-alien and it turns out the dog can also use the force in doggy ways.
Basically the Tales from Ba Sing Se episode of Avatar, but with robes on.

The Mouse is never going to allow anything this good.
