cough
edit: you will also find that in return of the jedi he has brown hair
meaning as he aged his hair got darker this is pretty normal in people who’s parents have brown/black hairAlso for people who grow up in sunny places and move away.
which guess what luke grew up on Tatooine which is a warm climate we can confirm this from the phantom menace Tatooine being a literal desert and as well yoda saying how feel you anakin replies cold sir because Coruscant. is a much colder climate then Tatooine
And young anakin hair was pretty light colored dirty blonde in some conditions too.
Tattoine is my favourite dessert right after icecream!
Hey thanks for letting me know about the spelling error
Can confirm. Was blonde until I was around 6 or 7 when it started to darken.
C’mon man… Learn genetics. Seriously. Recessive genes can ABSOLUTELY express themselves in a child from even one parent being a carrier regardless of how the parents’ genes express. In addition, random mutations can and DO produce weird things.
100% this. My wife and I are both white, but our daughter was born black. Crazy how those genetics work
Uh… folks, do we tell him?
I’m also pretty sure he qualifies for the “started blond but turned brown” camp anyways. It’s so sun bleached in that photo lol
dont you mean started brown and turned blond?
Also, it’s a movie and these people are actors with no meaningful genetic relationship between them.
This joke meme is very specifically NOT a movie.
Especially when one of the parents was conceived by a force being
I had very light blond hair as a child. Both of my parents have dark brown hair. My hair is now very dark brown.
Yeah, I was light brown and blonde as a kid, black now, I have one son with blonde hair, one with black, My dad commented once that my blonde son looks just like I did as a kid, and my black haired son looks just like I do now. Also two blonde daughters, the oldest in her teens, her hair is darker in spots, but still some blonde. My youngest had a lot of red mixed in as well, but that’s all gone by now.
In fact a similar thing happened in my family but my parents have darkening hair, and my siblings have minimally darkening blonde and brown hair. There is even some red mixed in somewhere.
114 people don’t understand genetics.
They must have skipped yellow-pea/green-pea day in high school Biology.
Seems Obi Wan was a better liar than he let on.
Right, right. Korkie was Satine’s nephew.
I’ll do what I must
He lives and works in the fucking desert - his hair is sun bleached.
144 of you dont understand genetics! Most embarrassing, most embarrassing!
Bleach effect from Tatooine? You might need to check if the carpet matches the drapes - any volunteers? :-P
I do ofc concede that there may be… alternative explanations.
There are MANY explanations before sun bleaching. … though +1 for the Bleach reference.
You can see his roots in the photo above. Mark Hamil before sun bleached:
The difference between living indoors on Coruscant and working outside on Planet Phoenix.
All these people arguing over genetics. Meanwhile, Boromir has apparently seen some shit.
Have you seen his acting career? Dude has experienced more deaths than a red shirt extra.
I don’t know how that works in outer space, but here on earth that would be totally normal and is called “genetics”. Might want to look that up some time.
Incest kinda checks out
This is where the fun begins!
Luke has blue eyes.
It is impossible for a blue eyed person to have anything but two blue eyed parents.Well, I don’t know where I picked up that bit of misinformation. The odds of a blue eyed person having two brown eyed parents is 25%.
Its the opposite, parents with blue eyes can only pass on blue genes. But also everything we learned in school about genetics is a simplification. Theres a whole spectrum of eye color hues.
Generally darker is seems more dominant so a good rule Is a child is unlikely to have darker features then the parents.
Not true, genetics can just do weird shit
TIL I cheated on my wife when she had… wait a second. /s
That’s not true at all. Blue eyes needs two recessive genes where Brown eyes only need one recessive gene. So you can have parents where both have brown eyes but they both have the dominant gene for brown eyes and the recessive gene for blue eyes. Then if both recessive genes are passed on to a child they will have blue eyes.
Of course there’s a few more complications to this as human eyes aren’t predicated on one gene, but it’s a good enough simplification.
Eh, you’re close, just backwards - if both parents have blue eyes, the child is (more-or-less) guaranteed to have blue eyes.
The odds of a blue eyed person having two brown eyed parents is 25%.
No, the odds of two heterozygous brown eyed parents having a blue-eyed child is 25%. I don’t think these statements mean the same thing.
I feel like a lot of the commenters here are not getting the reference.
Myself included.
I blame Syfo Dyas
Who was a good friend
