A question to the SW-experts.

In episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker is stumbling about in a snowstorm, when he meets the ghost of Obi-Wan, who says “You will go to the Dagobah system. There you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi master who instructed me.”
Now, in episode 1: The Phantom Menace, it’s Qui-Gon who is instructing Obi-Wan. Not Yoda.
Does anyone know what’s going on? Was it a simple slip?

(And it MAY very well have been discussed/asked before… So this may be the xxxth time 😄 I’d still like to know, though).

Obi Wan was instructed by Yoda just like any other youngling. When he became older, Qui Gonn took him under his wings.

yes, if it wasnt for yoda, obi wouldnt know the ways of the force in episode 1

darn, speiderman beat me to it, but I'll try and impress TO by talking some more 😄, and yeah, been asked before 😛

You saw AOTC? There is this scene were OB1 goes visiting Yoda who's training the younglings. ("Younglings! Younglings! A visitor we have!" with them responding "Hello master Obi-Wan."😉. That is to clearly show that Yoda trains ALL the younglings BEFORE they become padawans. When they become padawans, they get a jedi master (master here is not a rank, mind you, it's master as in "he has an apprentice"😉. For OB1 this means that he as a youngling received training from Yoda (see the ESB quote you gave), BUT he also received instructing (not training, since the actually training is already finished when you get the rank of padawan) from Qui-Gon Jinn (see the entire movie TPM for that).

well said.

Cool - Thanks.
Even a logical explanation 🙂

The powers that be may close this if they like.

Yup, that's the deal- GL put in the line 'But Master Yoda told me to be mindful of the future' to let the audience know that, yes, Obi-Wan was INDEED taught the basics of Jedi training by Yoda, the same basics he wanted taught to Luke- but his advanced training was under Qui-Gon.

Now closing...
