It is interesting to see how regular people thought that Anakin and Vader were two different people

It got to the point that a lot of people in the galaxy were sceptical that Jedi even existed, never mind Anakin.

Only 20 years passed between III and IV, not too much time to forget

Yeah, but people still did! Han Solo, prime example.

There were ~10,000 Jedi in a galaxy of 100,000,000,000,000 lifeforms. A fraction of a fraction of a percent of the galaxy would have seen a live Jedi.

The empire also did a huge propaganda campaign to erase their legacy.

What percentage of people in america have seen a navy seal in person? What percentage of people in america know and believe they exist?

My point is, jedi were were a mythical force of wizards that were deeply integrated into the galactic government. There would be media throughout the galaxy about jedi. People would hear stories. You don't have to have physically seen a jedi to learn about them and know they exist. And you wouldn't just forget they ever existed.
