I sure hope this adds to your confusion. There are many great theories about
who trained Obi Wan, but my question is how old was he when he was trained?
In Empire Strikes Back, Yoda objects to training Luke saying that he is too
old, ghost Obi Wan says that he wasn't much younger when he began his
training; then in The Phantom Menace yoda refuses to train Anakin, saying
that he is too old. So what is the appropriate age, Qui Gon mentions that it
is very young, but if this is true why is Obi Wan close to Luke's age when he
begins his training (I assume in ESB Luke is about 17 give or take a few).
Just a few more things to ponder.
