I don't think it was illegal to talk about. It was illegal to practice using it unless the Sith said otherwise. Luke didn't know because Owen and Beru made sure he didn't know. And when he wasn't around them, none of his friends talked about it because they didn't care about some religious order that got its ass handed to them. They were viewed as a hokey religion, full of nonsense. Most people don't even know about the Force, because they had rarely seen it in action. Those who have are not on Tatooine or anywhere near Luke, if they are there.

This is Star Wars. There's no wikipedia. No Google. Tatooine is one big planet. Luke mainly went to Anchorhead. He seldomly went to Mos Eisely on his own and he didn't frequent the Cantina. None of Luke's friends even made the connection, nor their parents and grandparents.

Something, something, something complete."

The Galaxy at Large: 100 of billions(iirc) of people
The Jedi's: 20-30.000 people or so at PT(iirc)

In lieu of the amount of people, maybe it was generally viewed as a cult or a sect of some sort. Generally not all that well known. The ruling bodies and top officials knew of the Jedi's as they we're intertwined with Galactic rule.

However, to counterpoint this: We have a Galaxy that is 25.000 years old, with many occurences of Jedi/Sith clashing over the milennias. Stories of this would be spread out to all the planets of the galaxy. Heck even Watto knows of Jedi's and 'mindtricks', accepting it as fact that they can manipulate their surroundings. And this was on Tattoine. And what of the Hutt's? They too would know of this.

Anakin was known througout the holonet(ep 3 novel) as the champion of the republic. Obiwan and Anakin was known as "Skywalker and Kenobi"
The name Skywalker should've rang a bell on tattoine with the Hutts(who knew of Anakin) when Luke started to get older. Or maybe Luke was told to use the last name of 'Lars'.(seems farfetched though).

Dane-the Jedi Order was listed at 10,000 strong in the TPM novel. An easy way to calculate Jedi to people is about like this:

1,000 or so sectors are represented in the Senate.

There's 10,000 Jedi.

A presumably average sector, like Palpatine's (he represented more than just Naboo) had a few dozen systems to it. Figure they're all like Earth's system and have seven to ten planets-and with SW tech, all of them probably have some kind of people or aliens living there.


So, not only is there barely 10 Jedi to a sector, those 10 Jedi are further divided by multiple systems, with multiple inhabited planets.


Basically, actually encountering one would roughly be like finding out your next-door neighbor is from Lesotho. tongue
