Not really why people think otherwise. We know Obi and Yoda changed the beacon at the temple. With the number of jedi in existence, I would have to believe that some like Obi and Yoda had clones that were not successful in their execution of Order 66 not to mention any Jedi that were on missions or assignments that did not require them to travel with clones. Also, it's not like Jedi and Sith have force-dar. Yes, there may be detection by those that have some sort of personal mental attachment (mentor/student, close friends, or known family) to another (Luke communicating with Leia, Vader sensing Obi and Luke, and maybe even if the individual nearby is using the force, such as Vader detecting it with Luke in the Trench (Luke was in touch with Obi at the time). We know that Yoda, Obi, Luke, and Leia went undetected for 20 years and that Leia could stand next to her Father on the Deathstar without Vader detecting anything. And like Obi and Yoda, many may have come to the realization that they would better be off either moving on with their lives or standing for an appropriate time to act.
I get the feeling that if the purge was a canon event, it did include a pro-active search of force sensitive individuals. That would be a waste of resources. They would not pose a threat unless the received training, and most likely at some point, the Empire was satisfied they killed off anyone that might be a teacher.
It will be interesting to see if any of this is addressed in the show. I get the feeling there will be at least a little light cast upon the Jedi during the past 14 years.
Well, we can criticize, complain, explain how we want the stories and characters to be created until we're blue in the face but its not going to change what is being created and is already in the can.... truth be told Filoni and his gang are making Rebels just for me and Bryan anyway... if others want to watch it then fine, join the party, otherwise the rest of ya can watch something else. :wacko :lol
