Its funny because people not knowing about the Force or Jedi isn't that hard to believe. I mean its a galaxy with trillions of people and thousands of worlds, and I'd argue that there were lots of worlds that hadn't been touched by he Jedi in generations.

I'd think that the inner rim probably had more view of the Jedi, and I doubt that it was overwhelmingly positive as the Republic slid into corruption. I mean you have these elitist space wizards living in luxury in their religious smugness and solving disputes with violence and laser swords. They were also directly attached to the senate, so lots of people probably saw them like the secret police. There were worlds in Canon that were devastating by the Jedi judgements against them.

On top of that throughout the Clone Wars Palpatine was undermining the Jedi at every turn. Blaming failures on the Jedi and Jedi deaths on the Senate that they served. then in the end, he found a way to blame the whole war on the Jedi who were attempting to over throw democracy and replace it with a theocracy guided by the Force, something that billions didn't understand or were effected by.

The Jedi went from benevolent protectors, to Military leaders to traitors that attacked an old supreme chancellor in a bid for power.

Then Palpatine banned any teaching except the negative, and eventually people through fear stopped talking about the Jedi.

So yeah, I like the idea that the majority of the galaxy didn't know about the Jedi or the Force, and the ones people that did approached it with mistrust or hatred, except for a bunch of out of touch teenage rebels pining for the illusion that the Old Republic was a democracy built to serve the people and wanted to bring it back with all of its corruption.

There's a reason why the remaining Jedi didn't hide in the inner ring and hid in the outer rim. Because in the outer rim nobody paid attention, in the inner rim, they'd turn a Jedi in in a second.

But guys like Mando, or Solo didn't have a understanding of the Force, and an understanding of the Jedi. Because they were in the outer rim. Where life was different.
