Of course he's making it up as he goes along. All through the first trilogy, they keep talking about how Yoda trained Kenobi. As we can see in Phantom, that he did not do. They never mention Jinn, because Lucas is indeed making it up on the fly.

There is some wiggle room in there, though. I think Ben's words were, "the Jedi Master who instructed me." Instructed is a pretty broad term, so I give him the benefit of the doubt here. The worst bit of back tracking though, was when the spirit of Ben had to explain to Luke that when he told him Vader killed his father, that he really didn't kill him.

Of course, if one was to ever watch the entire six-episode saga in cronological order, you would soon realize that every single surprise and dramatic effect from episodes 4-6 are totally ruined. By hey, it's just a movie, right?
