* AmbiguousDisorder:
** Jax Pavan is an ElectiveMute who is generally socially isolated from most people while latching onto and getting extremely attached towards a few select individuals. This is later explained as not simply because he's a natural psychic (he's explicitly noted as an extreme case even by those standards), but because he's got no filters whatsoever. Once Obi-Wan diagnoses the problem and gets him some dampeners, he opens up much more.
** Obi-Wan is implied to have an undiagnosed learning disability of some sort or another, explaining why--despite his undoubted raw intelligence--he has trouble keeping up with classwork. It also explains why Mace Windu, trying to help him with his homework in Ben's stead while the latter is being treated for [[ShellShockedVeteran TSR]], just can't help him no matter how hard he tries--something which is directly compared to Ben who, unsurprisingly, always knows exactly how to explain it to help Obi-Wan understand.
