      Have you seen his acting career? Dude has experienced more deaths than a red shirt extra.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Luke has blue eyes. It is impossible for a blue eyed person to have anything but two blue eyed parents.

      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.

      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.

      Eh, you’re close, just backwards - if both parents have blue eyes, the child is (more-or-less) guaranteed to have blue eyes.

      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.

      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.
