A fan of Star Wars or Obi Wan ?
Either

Started watching The Mandalorian. It's meant to be set a few years after Return of the Jedi but somehow in that short time everyone in The Mandalorian has forgotten that The Force existed and have no idea on The Child species being the same as the infamous Yoda. Does not make sense.

Since when did they say they don't know the species of the child?
Also, the universe is a big place. The new hope already showed people like han not believing in the force.
Plus yoda was last seen in the return of the sith, not return of the jedi, other than by like.

So many characters see The Child throughout the two seasons, including ex-empire people and no-one knows what he is? Apart from the main baddie of course.
And none of those same people know about The Force only 5 years after it would have been headline news with The Empire and The Rebellion?
And Luke would have been well known surely having destroyed The Empire and Vader yet no one recognises him at the end of season 2?
Question now having watched the end of season 2 is what does Skywalker do in the 30 years between this and the latest films as The Child didn't feature in the Rey films at all.
Watch season 3 (book of boba) and you’ll see 
You also need to remember that the Jedi were all but extinct in episode 3, with years of empire rule following. This is also set in the outer rim where Jedi were very few and far between to begin with.
Luke isn’t actually well known throughout the galaxy, that president is set at the start of episode 7. There are effectively no witnesses of him having either of his light sabre fights with Vader.
P.S. your in the wrong thread, there are threads for the mandalorian and the bobs series.

He makes a good point though. You would think the multilingual Mando with all his galaxy knowledge would have at least heard of Yoda and the Jedi. He seems to know everything about everything.

Ah apologies, I looked a few pages back and didn't see it.
The other thing on this is that a lot of the Mandolorian series is spent on Tatooine, the planet where only a few years before Luke was from, and where Luke and the gang killed Jabba (with Jedi powers and lightsabers).
So they ain't that far away from the activity, in time nor distance.
I'm still enjoying the series, just at first I assumed it was set quite far into the future from the original films and this would have made a bit more sense I think. That is until Boba Fett and Luke came into it at the end of season 2.
While true, the only people that witnessed that happening who aren’t dead are Luke, Leia, Lando, Han and a couple of droids. Oh and Boba of course. Everyone else ‘went down with the ship’, quite an explody one!
Luke was also a nobody before the events of a new hope, he wasn’t going to be recognised anywhere accept his own back yard.

Exactly.
It's an entire planet. If you kill someone right now I am hardly likely to hear about it. Let alone killing them with some magical power that no one witnessed.
The jedis are a myth in the originals and continued to be that throughout the galaxy, throughout the entire 3 original movies, except for the main cast.
It would be very funny if Jedis were a myth by the original movies, considering that the events of A New Hope are a mere 32 years after The Phantom Menace and 19 years after Revenge Of The Sith (when the Jedi were killed en masse and even then spent more years being hunted throughout the galaxy). Many living beings, human or alien, would remember the Jedi considering how prominent they were as an organization.

Finally got round to watching this and thought it was great. The inquisitors were a bit cheesy but Reva's story was cool. It suffers a little from trying to fit into a series of films that were made a long time ago and clearly this much thought was not put into what would happen but I think overall it does a pretty good job. Great to have McGregor back in such a great role and bringing all the old cast back worked really well too.
Just watched this. Pretty poor to be honest. The fight seasons looked awful. The acting was dreadful, especially from the actress that played the third sister.
The writing was extremely weak. Loads of things that happened just for the plot, and not because they made any actual sense.
I also wasn't sure if the outer space scenes were meant to look as badly done as the original on purpose or not.
