The Jedi had been basically extinct for 20 to 30 years by the time that Solo came around, and I'm pretty sure that the Empire didn't allow anyone to talk or teach anything about the Jedi, Palpatine probably had his enemy wiped from history, and kept anything that would allow the Jedi to re rise away from public consumption.
Solo was probably a toddler or at worst a pre-teen when the Empire came into play.
Probably the only people who had seen Jedi, were the very old, of old veterans involved in the Clone Wars and a select few others, and they probably didn't talk about them a lot because the Empire was probably like Nazi Germany in that they had ears everywhere.
