[SW/Mandolorian] Why are the Jedi suddenly so mysterious?

If I have any problem with this series so far it's the weird way they address stuff like the Force and the Jedi.

I mean, Luke knew who the Jedi were, the Republic was heavily dependent on them, and it's not like it was THAT long ago it fell, Mando remembers the Clone Wars. And yet when he asks the Armorer about it, she acts like this is an ancient legend and super mysterious.

IS it just not common knowledge to the hoi poloi? Mando is supposed to be pretty well informed, how is it that he's never heard of this super important group?

Jedi *were* rare. Incredibly, extremely so. Like, not even a rounding error's worth of any major world's population. Ten thousand Jedi in a galaxy of hundreds of trillion citizens (even quadrillions), and millions of worlds means that most people wouldn't know anything about them, even on Republic worlds.

Mando also takes place after two decades of a concerted propaganda campaign set against them, not to mention three years where the public that *did* know about them grew weary of war and saw the war as the Jedi's fault.
