Why Obi-Wan Can’t Talk To Qui-Gon Jinn's Force Ghost
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes 1 & 2.
The first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi have premiered on Disney+, and they feature the titular Jedi Master repeatedly trying but failing to communicate with the Force ghost of his mentor, Qui-Gon Jinn (played by Liam Neeson). As Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) ventures out from his exile on Tatooine and enters a brand new adventure 10 years after Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, dangers are on all sides during the Empire's dark rule over the galaxy. Making it worse, Obi-Wan struggles to commune with the spirit of his old master Qui-Gon Jinn when seeking guidance.
Slain by Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon Jinn's dying wish was for his apprentice Obi-Wan to train Anakin Skywalker (then played by Jake Lloyd), the young boy he believed to be the prophesied Chosen One. Honoring his master's final request, Kenobi trained Anakin (Hayden Christensen), who became a Jedi Knight at the dawn of the Clone Wars. However, the end of the war saw Anakin's seduction to the dark side of the Force by Darth Sidious. After a final battle with his former master and friend, Anakin became Darth Vader and aided in the extermination of the Jedi Order with Order 66. After the fall of the Jedi Order, Obi-Wan went into hiding to protect Anakin and Padmé's secret children. Despite Obi-Wan's decision to seclude himself, Jedi Master Yoda revealed that he had new training for Kenobi that would allow him to commune with the spirit of Qui-Gon.
