The bigger question is how did people forget about Jedi within the span of a couple of generations? That's like forgetting that the Nazis existed in 2016.

Even when the jedis were on theyre peak lots of ppl didnt believe or were skeptical about what they could or could not do. Tham The Empire slaughters the Jedis and make talking about them forbiden. Years go by like this, already on EP IV many dont believe the Jedi were space wizards or even existed. Vader is kinda like the boggieman for the comonfolk, no one even suspects Palpatine is a sith. Luke comes defeats the empire but hes just 1 dude, he doesnt go into public saying, hey Im a jedi look what I cna do. He tries to start the New Jedi Order, shit goes awry, he goes into exile. No one is talking about jedis for like 60+ years now. Also we only know what Finn and Rey tells us, Finn knows the Force exists (or at least has the notion that space magic is real), knows about Luke Skywalker and the the First Order wants him but likely dont know the extent of his power. Rey lived in a remote planet her whole life where nothing of galatic importance realy ahppened, she only heard stories. 

 

I'm sorry but that must be one small galaxy then if they are able to erase all records of the Jedis. At their peak, which is less than 2 generations ago, the Jedis had a council that the republic worked with. Also, Jedis were around for about 30,000 years and all it took was a few decades to erase everything?

Sounds like a plot hole resulting from them wanting to add mystery to the whole force/jedi thing.
