Clone Wars Reveals Why Obi-Wan Couldn’t Hear Qui-Gon’s Voice

An episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars helps explain why Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) was initially unable to hear the voice of his Force ghost master Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Though he eventually succeeds, it took Kenobi years to even begin the process. Having been first taught to Jedi Master Yoda, who in turn told Kenobi how he could commune with his late master through the Force, Obi-Wan still struggled to hear Qui-Gon’s voice, and the animated Clone Wars series holds the answer as to why.
