Anger leads to hate, like Yoda said. Thinking about Qui-Gon probably ameks Obi-Wan angry and since he doesn't want to become a Dark jedi, he may have forced hismelf to forget about Qui-Gon. It's not unheard of for people in real life to do things like this after a tramuatic loss. If they said it in EpII it would be SO cool.
: Besides, after the whole who taught Obi-Wan gaff in Episode I, would such an oversight really be all that bad?
: : Shortly before the second Death Star became fully operational over Endor, so I don't think it's too unreasonable.
: : : : I was visiting Star Wars.com today, being the Fanboy that I am (And fuckin' proud of it! NERD REPRESENT!), and I saw the results of a poll that asked What Expanded Unvierse SW Character would poeple most like to see in Episode III. It was a tight race judging by the numbers, but the solid winner with 54% was everybody's favorite SW Novel character Grand Admiral Thrawn (though for EpII he'd probably be a Captain or soemthing). Is this fucking cool or what? I bet Timothy Zahn would be happy.
: : : (showing the fanboy that I used to be) because he was a slave during that period. He only advanced to Admiral after Episode VI in the book chronology. That means during the Empire's rule he was working up the ranks, but not before that. And Episode IV starts with the Empire just becoming a monarchy.
