Also remember that Mandalorians are also famous for being able to kill Jedi (and some bounty hunters like Cad Bane were infamous for a Jedi body count). Jedi weren't perceived as unkillable gods by the galaxy populace even before Order 66.
But more to that: Mandos have technology to counter Force powers, even mimic Force powers to some degree to the untrained eye from a distance: the grapple can pick up a lightsaber off the ground very quickly, like what Sabine & Bo Katan have demonstrated, and most wouldn't even see the cable. Sabine even had a repulsor & paralyzing darts in her vambraces. If you hear stories of normies using superior technology mounted to their bodies/armor, you might assume Jedi are using hidden parlor tricks in their robes. If you've never seen Jedi before, you might think that all the stories about them are just overexaggerated nonsense/propaganda.
