Rewatching the TPM what bothers me the most about how Obi-Wan is written is that despite not yet being promoted to full Jedi Knight, he’s already one of the most observant, by-the-book members of the Jedi Order in contrast to Qui-Gon who is very much a maverick.
I sometimes wonder if Lucas got his papers mixed up because the characterizations should have been the other way around.
