[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read this about the whole "why did everyone forget about the Jedi" thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/53ue24/why_did_everyone_forget_about_the_jedi_and_sith/

You all seem to not have a sense of how enormous the Star Wars galaxy is, and how disjointed it became after the Clone Wars.

At its peak, there were estimated to be about 10,000 Jedi. That's not nearly enough for most people to have known who they were. It's possible many people in the galaxy wouldn't have necessarily known about the Clone Wars.

The separatist movement alone in the prequels comprised thousands of planets. This galaxy is on a scale you aren't fully appreciating. [/quote]

You are somewhat underestimating what a Jedi was. He could move things simply by will alone, deflect blaster bolts, face hundreds of enemies single-handed and win, and all the other Force powers that show up randomly. Each was essentially a superman. If we had a superman, on this planet almost everyone would certainly know about it.

Given the extraordinarily low number of Force sensitives and the fairly diverse Jedi, it appears they had an extensive recruitment program across the galaxy. [/quote]

Umm, what's your evidence of that? There's no way to "recruit" a Jedi. You can identify Force sensitivity and then train a Jedi, but you can't recruit amongst the general population. [/quote]

The only one who could find a Force sensitive individual was a Jedi AFAIK. Since there are so few Jedi, there are either a huge number of Force sensitive individuals or Jedi are moving throughout the Galaxy constantly looking for recruits, or there are more than 10,000 Jedi. If there are a huge number of Force sensitive individuals, then the number of Jedi would be larger. [/quote]
