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.
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
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?
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).
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.
Seems Obi Wan was a better liar than he let on.
Right, right. Korkie was Satine’s nephew.
I’ll do what I must
114 people don’t understand genetics.
They must have skipped yellow-pea/green-pea day in high school Biology.
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:
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
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.
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.
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.
Incest kinda checks out
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.
don’t forget that black couple in real life that had a white, blonde, blue eyed baby
I feel like a lot of the commenters here are not getting the reference.
Myself included.

He lives and works in the fucking desert - his hair is sun bleached.
