In the new canon Luke is known to the galaxy, but the public knows few specifics and his actions are thought of as rumor, hearsay, exaggeration, Rebel propaganda etc.
You have to remember there were only around 10,000 jedi during the PT and they had to cover an entire galaxy with a population of trillions of beings. Most people never actually saw a Jedi or what they could do. The holonet helped spread foorage of Jedi some during the CW, but after the fall of the Republic Sidious destroyed all media and archives about Jedi, and released a bunch of propaganda making the Jedi out to be a shadowy traitorous cult. Sidious messed with the Clone Wars historical data as well. And studying the Jedi during the Imperial era was punishable by death so the average person just had no reason to learn anything about Jedi.
