My belief is that the farther from the centre of the Republic/Empire you got, the less people knew of/believed in the Jedi and their powers.

But what about Han?

Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything.

Surely he's no stranger to the central hub of activity in the galaxy and he doesn't believe.

So, Han Solo at age 30 (guessing age here) no longer believes in things that were obviously factual when he was 15.

When I was a kid, I used to have a Star Wars Ep. IV video game for Nintendo. It listed Han Solo's age as 35. When I read this I was reminded of that for some reason.

So that means he was in his 20's when the Jedi were active. Did he take a serious knock to the head and lose his memory? More evidence of the thoughtlessness that went into the prequels.

Also, I loved that Nintendo game! Shame the botched Empire so horribly. They totally change the story! You kill Boba Fett and save Han. And if I remember correctly, I believe you may in fact defeat Darth Vader (who has a machine gun) at the end!
