It's a line in Star War Rogue One.
- You are a hard man to find, Galen.
- But farming...
- Really? Man of your talents?
What does "Man of your talents?" mean?
Is man a verb or noun here? What does man mean?

well.. is that important? What you are asking seems to verify the usage I'm asking is quite irregular...– GqqnbigJan 10, 2018 at 6:38

2Galen Walton Erso is not building Death Stars like Krennic wants him to, but is instead hiding from the Empire as a farmer. What he is farming is irrelevant– mplungjanJan 10, 2018 at 6:51

"Man" here is a noun. We can imagine the full version of the sentence as something like this:
How can a man of your talents think of farming? You should be engaged in something more intellectual.
I did not see the movie, so I've restored the implied meaning based on your short excerpt. The real implied meaning may be different, based on the larger context.
