Lucas’ original vision included McGregor’s character ultimately taking on his Jedi Master’s name as part of his attempt to honor his mission to train Anakin. “At the end, as Obi-Wan dies and Qui-Gon defeats Darth Maul and stays with his Master as he passes away, he not only takes on his Master’s quest, but he takes on his name. Qui-Gon becomes Obi-Wan,” McCaig revealed. “That’s why when you see Alec Guinness in A New Hope, he puts his hood down and goes, ‘Obi-Wan? Now that’s a name I’ve not heard.’ Because he’s not Obi-Wan, he’s Qui-Gon

I don't hate the idea, but it adds unnecessary confusion, so I can see why it was dropped.

Also if the plan was Jedi not being attached... that changes the future character arcs.

Agree on the attachment concept. Also, the Clone Wars connection of Obi-Wan to Bail Organa was not established while Qui-Gon was still alive, so the continuity of Leia’s holographic plea would have been broken.
