This is a problem with George Lucas' writing. In the Orig Trig™, even galaxy-weary smuggler Han Solo had never so much as heard of the Force, or a Jedi knight. They were described as an all-but extinct ancient religion. It was impled they were few in number, secretive.
But old Georgieboy wanted spectacle, he wanted razzamatazz! So in waltz the prequels, showing us the Jedi Order at the height of its power, a mere [1x Luke Skywalker's age] prior to the Orig Trig™. A galaxy in which even a little slave child on the remote planet Tatooine could not only identify a Jedi knight by his trademark weapon, but also knew the terminology 'Jedi knight'.
The two trilogies do not add up to a coherent arc. George Lucas is a hack and a fraud.
