Who was the better Master?

Who was the better Master out of Qui Gonn and Obi Wan?

In my opinion, Qui Gonn was a better teacher to Obi Wan than Obi Wan to Anakin, but Obi Wans relationship with Anakin was a lot stronger than that of Qui Gonn and Obi Wans. Obi Wan taught Anakin good skills and was a father/brother to Anakin, except obviously Anakin didn't really learn control. Obi Wan is well controlled... Is this learned from Qui Gonn?

 

Qui-Gon was the better Master and better Jedi altogether. Obi-Wan had just ascended from padawan status when he took Anakin on. As a Master to Anakin, Obi-Wan did things ideally under the Jedi Code. He never told Anakin anything wrong in my opinion, but he wasn't suited to instruct Anakin either. Qui-Gon was. Unforturately, Qui-Gon was killed before he had a chance to be Anakin's Master.

 

Since Qui-Gon was much older, and more experienced than we have seen Obi-Wan thus far, its not a fair comparison. Yes, I know we see old Obi in ANH, but its not the same thing.

My guess is that even though they have vastly different styles, they would eventually be even in the long run. Who knows, Anakin may have gone darkside no matter what. Or no matter who trained him.

Just comes down to who you think had the better overall focus, the rebel or the straight arrow.

 

Qui-Gon.

 

If we agree that Obi-Wan was the better apprentice and Qui-Gonn the better master, the question becomes; does a good master make for a good apprentice, a good apprentice make for a good master, or both?

 

Qui-Gon was probably the better master, but I do prefer Obi-Wan as a character.

 

Qui-Gon is the better master, but Obi-Wan becomes the great master of the OT. Eclipses Yoda as far as I'm concerned.

 

I belive Qui-gon is.Since he did train Obi-Wan.

 

I think it was Qui-Gon as well. For reasons that appear in episode three, I think many people will think that as well. Not to mention the fact that Obi-Wan's apprentice turned to the darkside, and Obi-Wan stayed true to the Jedi Order. Many people will say that Yoda's apprentice also turned, however Master Yoda had more then one Padawan, and Obi-Wan had only the one.

 

Well you have to take into affect that Anakin was "too old" to begin training... Obi-Wan started out when he was very young, Most of your learning habbits (self control respect, discipline) come from learning at a young age, I would say Qui-Gonn was a better teacher, but I would think Obi-Wan could have been better if Anakin had been younger, and he wouldn't have had to blame himself in the OT.

 

Qui-Gon was

 

Both Qui Gon and Obi Wan are excellent teachers, IMO. I think Qui Gon simply wins by merit of age. Obi Wan was just too young unprepared to take on Padawan, especially one as unique and difficult as Anakin. Outside of that, although their teaching styles differ, they're still both quite competent.

 

Ob1 IMO is the better master. But not for Anakin. With Qui gon around I believe Anakin would not have fallen. If OB1 took another padawan the would have been great. Look what OB1 did for Luke in that short of time.

 

I think QG was the better Master, while Obiwan was the better student.

Obi did what he was told, as he was instructed by the Jedi. He was a model student.

QG allowed himself to listen to the will of the force when making decisions. And his instruction of his student reflected this.

 

i think that Qui-Gon was a better master than Obi-wan but Obi-wan was different. Obi-Wan was more of a role model to anakin and tough him well in the force. i also think that Qui-Gon new alot of the force and taught alot to Obi-wan.

 

You can make a case for both.

Qui-Gon because we really see him in his prime.

Obi-Wan because of the incredible job he did under the circumstances: forced into taking not just a Padawan, but THE CHOSEN ONE...fresh out of being Knighted for killing a Sith Lord, no less.

 

Qui Gon was, but he clearly had the advantage. Obi Wan had the rotten luck of everyone telling him "watch out Obi Wan, that boy is dangerous, keep a close eye on him" so he became a strict disiplinarian, causing Anakin even more troubles than he already had.

 

I think that the question is too general.
Each Jedi had their good and bad qualities as Master.
bi-Wan as Master:
-very patient
-awesome swordsman
-extremely wise, completely in tune with the Force
:Negatives:
-too strict with Jedi codes and regulations
-too redundant as teacher, Anakin learns to ignore him

:Qui-Gon as Master:
-extremely wise
-has learned how to live in the Moment
-completely in tune with the Force as well
:Negatives:
-doesn't obey the Council most times
-So-So swordsman

In these regards, I belive Qui-Gon would have been a better Master for Anakin, his rebel type ways would of showed Anakin that not all Jedi have to be perfect all the time. Also, Anakin's love for the moment would of been applauded by Qui-Gon,thereby making him love the Light side even more.

 

Its completely unfair to both to compare. QuiGonn is a great Jedi and was a great Master. As was Obiwan. But Jinn was never put into the situations that Obiwan had to deal with. Jinn had what appears to be a nearly perfect Padawan in Kenobi. Kenobi had been raised in the temple has been feed jedi disipline since birth. Jinn was also at least in his mid thirties by the time he took over obiwans training. Obiwans apprentice had been a slave on a harsh planet and knew his mother. Didn't join the order till he was ten. Was constantly supiously looked upon by the council. And on top of all this was more powerfull then nearly everyone else and was told he was. Plus Obiwan was only 25 years old when he was made a knight and given Anakin though he asked for Anakin as his padawan he probably wasn't ready.

 

Qui-Gon hands down he knew more of the living force and was the most feared swordsman in the galexey. Also he was more feeling than Obi-Wan was and just a better all around Jedi. Qui-Gon made the sacrifice of himself when he kenw the boy needed to be trained if Qui-Gon had really wanted to destroy Maul he would have but he softened Maul up so Kanobi could finish him off. Qui-Gon was stronger in mind and in saber skill than Obi-Wan.

 

Before I used to say the same thing,im an avid Qui-gon fan and used to get mad at the fact that Obi-wan is such a medocre jedi,but now I come to realize and appreciate Obi-wan's character so much more.He may not be the greatest Jedi with a saber or the strongest with the force but Obi-wan Kenobi is the greatest character in Star Wars IMO.In TPM Obi-wan is very arrogant and young minded but is thrusted responsibility and is forced to become a man.In AOTC you see that he is having trouble keeping Anakin on the right path,but is doing the best that he can do.Hes not the best,hes an average Jedi but does everything that he can possibly do.In the Clonewars is where I think Obi-wan shines the most(besides ROTS ofcoarse).he is a hero in the Clone wars and has won many campaigns as a decorated General.Obi-wan in the situation that he was in did the best that probably anyopne could have done if they were put in that situation.
