Star Wars (2020) #31 by Charles Soule and Andrés Genolet finds Lando, Lobot, Luke, Chewie, Leia, and Amilyn Holdo captured by the colony of Kezarat after the quest to retrieve the Void Path Engine from the High Republic went wrong. One of the leaders of the no-space colonies, named Captain Bryce, told the Rebel heroes of a time when a Jedi named Alareen Xie helped the colonists fight off bandits Peel Nihil.

Palpatine propaganda doesn’t reach everyone
The worship of the Jedi in the Kaizarat colony fits well with the pre-Galactic Empire public opinion. The galaxy largely believes in power and hopes that the Jedi Knights bring peace, especially since anyone with Force-sensitive abilities can become a Jedi Knight. The High Republic is actually the Golden Age of the Jedi and the era of origin of the founders of the Kaizarat colony.
