The time scale on that really is kind of odd. The galaxy has pretty much forgotten everything about the Jedi despite the fact that the Jedi were a very big deal within living memory. Sure, they were all but wiped out and no longer have a significant presence, and the Empire didn't exactly do much to keep their memory alive, but that'd be like none of us knowing that the Soviet Union was a thing.

Which I guess you could also chalk up to there not being enough of a plan originally being in place so that things would be better reflected in the OT's story. That or they needed to *really* scale back the PT.

Also it's weird to think how short of a time the Empire existed, especially when you see the Emperor and you figure, "Oh, he's this super old-looking dude," where the automatic assumption is that he's been ruling for a very, very long time.
