I blame Syfo Dyas
Who was a good friend
He lives and works in the fucking desert - his hair is sun bleached.
Luke has blue eyes. It is impossible for a blue eyed person to have anything but two blue eyed parents.
Not true, genetics can just do weird shit
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.
Eh, you’re close, just backwards - if both parents have blue eyes, the child is (more-or-less) guaranteed to have blue eyes.
You probably reversed something you learned a long time ago. It’s impossible for two blue eyed parents to have a brown eyed child unless there’s a random mutation, which I guess can happen, but is incredibly rare.
I have blue eyes, and my wife has brown eyes. Our daughter has blue eyes. We also have a son with brown eyes.
Recessive genes work that way.

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.
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.
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.
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?
Yeah, it’s entirely possible for a child of two brown-haired parents to have blonde or even red hair.
For one thing, blonde hair tends to get darker as you get older, and so a lot of people who were born with blonde hair can end up with dirty blonde, light brown or even dark brown hair. This can mask the fact that they technically have the genetics for blonde hair.
Another factor is that blonde hair is a recessive gene, which (if I remember my genetics correctly) means that not everyone who has the gene will actually gets blonde hair because they need two copies of it instead of one; something which can get further confused by whether you’re born with XX, XY, or some other combination of chromosomes (I think, if I remember correctly, that some genes are more likely to express themselves with XY chromosomes or vice versa, not sure if that’s true for hair color). So you can have a family with brown hair, but if the genetics line up just right, you can get a blonde-haired kid (if I understand correctly, this is also true for red hair).
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?
Also, it’s a movie and these people are actors with no meaningful genetic relationship between them.
Especially when one of the parents was conceived by a force being
This joke meme is very specifically NOT a movie.
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.
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.
I’ll do what I must
Right, right. Korkie was Satine’s nephew.
Wouldnt the sun cause that?

This was BBY? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
The difference between living indoors on Coruscant and working outside on Planet Phoenix.
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.
Don’t give Disney ideas for new trilogies!
I feel like a lot of the commenters here are not getting the reference.
Myself included.
You can see his roots in the photo above. Mark Hamil before sun bleached:
