I think the Jedi's ability to find people is overstated by a lot of fandom, there's nothing in the canon that suggests for example that they do regular blood tests on kids and supplementary canon leans much more into the idea that they go by people calling them in or rumors they hear and then go check out. Dooku is a good example case here--in Dooku: Jedi Lost he was born to an extremely wealthy and noble family on Serenno and, at the time of his birth, the planet seems like it was still with the Republic. Yet there was nothing to tell the Jedi that Dooku was Force-sensitive until his bio-father contacted the Jedi to come get him. The Jedi seem to rely on parents contacting them first or rumors that they can go and investigate and inform the parents of what's happening with their child, that's why they have the role of Jedi Seekers, like Cere Junda was a Seeker before the events of Jedi: Fallen Order and Dooku: Jedi Lost has Dooku telling Ventress: "Like most of the Order, I was brought to the Temple by a Seeker, a Jedi who was tasked to scour the galaxy for Force-sensitive infants." So if Palpatine’s family never sent word to the Jedi and he wasn’t causing trouble with them as a child (to catch the attention of people outside the family), there was no way for the Jedi to know there was a Force-sensitive child there, to even have his name on their list of potential younglings, even on a Mid-Rim world in the Republic.  The Jedi don’t do regular blood screenings, like you can bet if they did, the Empire would have continued using that and Palpatine wouldn’t have needed to use the Inquisitors to hunt down rumors of Force-sensitive children, so they probably do miss a ton of Force-sensitive children, but that’s pretty in line with how the Jedi weren’t trying to recruit as many into their Order as they could, they made it a choice for the parents.

Admittedly yes, the Jedi are something of myth and very well known-of despite their rarity, but even then, the specifics of Force abilities are probably not a widely known thing. After all, nobody knew Anakin was Force sensitive and he was out there flying a pod racer at age 10 or something. Just "damn that kid's got good reflexes."

"Labyrinth" by artist Vanesa R. Del Rey.

look at meg march in 1994 vs 2019. they both look great! however! emma watson is wearing very obvious lipstick, mascara, concealer under eyes heavy foundation etc etc. you can see this at a glance. i literally in making this comparison had to google if this was a promotional image that she took or actually a still from the movie because her makeup just looks like normal 2019 makeup that a girl from 2019 would wear!!! (not to mention her costume. different post.) then look at trini alvarado on the other left. obviously she’s wearing tons of makeup because she’s in a movie and she has tons of lights on her all the time but it doesn’t look she is!! you can see circles under her eyes!! she doesn’t have The Shine to her face that emma watson does. she looks so much more believable as a girl from the 1860s not because she’s a perfect representation but simply because she does not Obviously Have On Modern Makeup

In a lot of other 90s period movies like Titanic there is obviously anachronistic make-up, that’s always been a thing. But it can stick out a lot more in movies now that the standard of what a woman’s made-up face should be is just sooo much and a “simple” look promoted on TikTok will take like 30 products.
