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
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 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.
He lives and works in the fucking desert - his hair is sun bleached.
Wouldnt the sun cause that?
You can see his roots in the photo above. Mark Hamil before sun bleached:
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.
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.
