Extra Chirrut facts
It was Donnie Yen who suggested early on his character be blind but as yet no reason has been given for his blindness. We expect it will come out in an extended universe story.
A lot of people seem to question how Chirrut was able to fight so well if he is blind. He is NOT a JEDI but is in tune with the Force. It can be perhaps likened to young Anakin being a great pod racer. He is not using the Force but the Force is a part of him.
