He'd been surprised to learn, relatively late in life, that there was a misconception about the Force being something specific to SithOrJedi. (By those who didn't necessarily distinguish between the two. They were all, by that community, considered enemies.) But even before meeting Chirrut Îmwe, Cassian had been introduced to the idea of the Force as an element of the universe, of nature, possibly a metaphor for something else or possibly something that just had yet to be defined more concretely or just a way of looking at a combination of things. SithOrJedi could manipulate in ways others might not… but it was independent of them and bigger than them.
(In this way, people could think well of the Force but not necessarily of the SithOrJedi. The Force could be more powerful than anything well defined, and any single approach to it could be fallible.)
Though he's come to think better of the Jedi—at least, of their legacy of hope and peace, and whether they succeeded or not they'd tried to embody and foster that—he still knows the Force to be something bigger than any of them.
