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 hair
Also 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.
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
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.
144 of you dont understand genetics! Most embarrassing, most embarrassing!
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.
My sister and I were both born with blonde hair (though our hair is more dirty blonde/brown now), but both my parents have brown hair; so it's entirely possible to get blonde hair from two brown-haired parents.
Ironically I used to wish my hair was brown because I liked the Beatles and they had brown/black hair! Now that I'm an adult and don't have the same enthusiasm for them anymore, I wish I had blonde hair again.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Checks out
Luke Skywalker is a cultivar of a pea, confirmed
That or sunlight bleaches brown hair
This was BBY? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
don't forget that black couple in real life that had a white, blonde, blue eyed baby
Don't give Disney ideas for new trilogies!
Star Wars Memes
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world
==========
IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta
==========
Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
