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.

Well, following the Jedi Purge, any remaining Jedi would be few and far between and in hiding. I doubt Han would have come across any in his travels.
