There's very few Doyalist arguments in the replies here. Besides my own argument about how Lucas doesn't plan things out, but that's not exactly complimentary to the narrative.

Watsonian: there are very few Force users in the galaxy. At its height, the Jedi Order is a few million Jedi in a galaxy of trillions of sapient beings. Force users were always more legend than something people saw on the regular. If you ever saw one lightsaber in person, it'd be a day you remember forever. The propaganda job wasn't even that hard. Just pretend they never existed and most people will go on with their lives.

Even as far as Motti is concerned, the Jedi were never that prominent. Just a sad old religion. He would have internalized Imperial policy against Jedi, and he only makes any exception at all for Darth Vader because people above him say he's important.

That random force lady on Yavin that Andor met? Andor has a good reason to believe she's a charlatan. Pretty much anyone you meet claiming to have force powers, even before Order 66, is probably a grifter.
