but on the other hand, he never bothered to look for force potential in here (eventhough the mind probe couldn't crack her in ANH). Plus, he wasn't looking for his daughter since he thought his kid died 20 years ago and they probably never knew she was adopted (otherwise Bail got a lot of suspicion drawn to them at the end of ROTS).
Not to forget that the Empire was very sure they had killed off all the Jedi.
It does seem kinda strange that two sith, or really just one (Palpatine) could have enough power or influence over the force to clould everything for all Jedi even when he is in a different planet system than them. That's some pretty big universal control there. Or a bunch of PIS, I'm not sure which.
