Quote #7

OBI-WAN: It's not disrespect, Master. It's the truth.

QUI-GON: From your point of view.

OBI-WAN: The boy is dangerous. They all sense it. Why can't you?

QUI-GON: His fate is uncertain. He's not dangerous.

Fans of Star Wars will recognize that Obi-Wan drops that "truth from a certain point of view" line on Luke in Return of the Jedi. The scene is showing us how Qui-Gon's teachings had an impact on Obi-Wan and his own worldview.

Quote #8

QUI-GON: Obi-Wan. Promise—Promise me you'll train the boy.

OBI-WAN: Yes, Master.

QUI-GON: He is the chosen one. He will bring balance. Train him.

Obi-Wan assumes Qui-Gon's defiance, which leads him to train Anakin to bad results. But it also leads him to push Yoda to accept Luke as his apprentice in Empire (to much better results). Also, Qui-Gon's belief that Anakin will bring balance to the Force does come true. Anakin just took a very roundabout, very murderous way to it.
