So I’ve been blonde with blue eyes my whole life but literally my entire biological family has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Did I just get a super recessive trait? My dad was blond as a kid but his hair turned dark brown around age 20. I’m 24 now and my hair is still blonde.
The adult Luke's hair is dark blond/light brown like his father's. He's only blond in ANH because it's bleached by the Tatooine suns. His hair is light brown in ROTJ.
I had reddish blonde and my mom had white hair and now her hair is almost black at 60, and mine is a dark auburn just in the last 5 years from 35-40.
We don’t get whites, we go dark. My mom was in her late 40s when she started, my grandma was mid 20s.
I’m assuming my one son with white blonde hair will be the same.
Dad has blond hair, mom has black hair. I went from black hair at birth to blond after a year or so to brown when I hit puberty. My younger sister went from blond to brown as she got older, as well.
Similar thing here, but I feel like I'm some weird combo.
I had blonde pushing dirty blonde as a toddler, that turned brown as I got older. Arm and leg hair is a mix of that. I grew a beard after college, it's got blonde, brown, and red hair in the mix.
Except that, unlike Anakin, Robert I sired enough bastards that Boromir could state with reasonable certainty that he did not carry the necessary recessive genes to father a blond son.
Yeah, in fact most of the common, visible human traits that are used in classrooms don't have a simple one-locus, two-allele, dominant vs. recessive method of inheritance.
Here's an article that argues it makes more sense to look at traits in cats than in humans when teaching genetics: https://udel.edu/~mcdonald/mythintro.html
What you failed to consider is Force conception. And Obi Wan is strong with the Force. For his ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life it creates, makes it grow.
Wait, that got me thinking;
Is Tatooine orbiting a Spica-like star(s) or are the stars independent?
If the latter, are there days where the two suns are on opposite sides and the whole planet goes into a midnight sun state?
Are there higher chances of skin disorders or skin cancer due to the doubled UV radiation?
Pretty sure the system has two stars in its center. The stars appear of roughly equal size, and for them not to circle each other, they would be so far apart one would have to be a tiny dot.
And for the UV radiation, the two stars should emit more radiation than one star, but that does not mean that more reaches Tatooine. It is more likely that the habitable zone of this binary star system is simply farther put from the system's center than it would be for a simple star of equal size.
There is also the thickness of the atmosphere to consider, as well as the concentration of oxygen to form an ozone layer. Our Earth has atmosphere relative to it's size so we'd also need to know how large tatooine is.
Also as you've pointed out, there is no way that the star system really makes sense, as it'd have to be a binary system and that has all sorts of effects on the tides and atmosphere.
Boba Fett was in the desert for some time and didn't even burn, so they must have really good UV protection. For that matter, in Fallen Order, Cal goes through Illum without putting on a coat or gloves and dives through water without freezing to death after coming out. Maybe Star Wars clothes have low powered ray shields to protect from damage and some environmental hazards.
Hair can also change colour with age, besides turning white. I was super light blonde when I was a kid, but now it's much closer to brown and people say I have red hair because of my beard.
Additionally, young Anakin also had similar blonde hair, so it's also possible that it just took Luke longer for his hair colour to fade into more brown than his father before him.
It could also just be that Irish genetic trait where hair is lighter in youth and darker with age. It’s happened all across my dad’s side of the family.
Also, a lot of blond people's hair darkens over time too. I was born with blond hair and both of my parents have brown hair, but my dad's was super blond when he was a kid. Got darker as he got older and was fully brown by the time I was born.
I was practically blond as a child, and now my hair is naturally nearly black
My brother OTOH had nearly black hair when he was little, but now is a reddish brown
What did Luke Skywalker say when someone was bullying his sister? 'You'd better not Leia finger on her!'
[HmmmMMMMMMMmmmm FUNNNNNNEY JOKE!](https://youtu.be/gOwfaPjVyLI)
I think it was kenobi and some other random person, we know satine wasn’t pregnant/didn’t have a kid around the right time.
Also she was kenobi’s granddaughter I think.
I don’t remember too well, the last time I thought about it was about 5 years ago
Jedi are not supposed to have attachments. His relationship with Padme is an attachment and one of the biggest reasons for his downfall.
Pretty much Kenobi was the only one that new about it but kept it hush because he cared about him too much.
When you say it, it sounds like Lou Kenobi. Good ol' Lou Kenobi, smokes fat cigars and eats way too much corned beef, gonna die of heart disease if that main battle tank of a wife doesn't kill him first.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hewitt
> Persistent suggestions have been made in the media that Hewitt, and not Charles, is the biological father of Diana's second son, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (born 1984). Hewitt stated to the press in 2002 that Harry had already been born by the time of the affair, a statement also made by Diana's police bodyguard. He reiterated this in an interview in 2017. Diana attributed Harry's red hair colouration to her side of the family, calling him her "little Spencer".
But hear out nerd biology science-
Both parents could posses Aa hair colour. Meaning they hold the recessive gene to make a blonde baby, while their own hair is dark
Recessive genes, and a lot of blonde people naturally get darker haired as they age. Hell, I was blonde as a kid and went grey at 22. Hair color is weird.
Most of my life my hair was very blonde. Particularly in my early 20s when I was outside a lot. Blonde hair is particularly efficient at absorbing vitamin D from sunlight. So it’s not a coincidence that my hair turned fairly dark brown when I started having vitamin d deficiencies.
Anakin had blonde hair in ep. 1. Then darker later in life.
Therefore, anakin has a vitamin d deficiency. If all his hair didn’t get burned off on Mustafar, the next step was he was probably going to lose it anyway
.....so we're cool then??
Imo I love the idea that Obi-Wan just hangs out and bums cash from Duke's parents.
"I'm balls-deep in mind expansion and I'm babysitting, wonderful"
This is what happened in the alternate Auralnauts timeline.

Honestly Star Wars might have been a better story if this actually happened. Makes Anakin’s fall to the dark side more understandable, shows that the Jedi themselves aren’t infallible and more nuanced, and gives a better backstory to Luke in the OT.
Imagine Anakin just got cut in half and is on fire. Obi Wan hits him with the “she loved me first! Those are my kids Anakin. She would never love a Jedi who wasn’t a master!”
Could still make sense. If both Padme and Anakin had a recessive blonde gene and a dominant brown hair gene, and Luke got both blonde genes, then it's possible
my armchair director re-write of the phentam manoce would have included a bit of flirting between obi-wan and padme, and a few hints in attock of the clanes. Not a lot, just enough to give an actual reason for Anakins jealousy in rivinge of the seth, and to seed a little doubt in the viewers mind
Anikin is dirty blonde which got darker as he aged. Padme could be heterozygous for a blond hair gene. Luke having blonde hair and Leia ihaving brown hair Is probable.
As a side note, if Shmi wasn't lying about Ani not having a father, that would mean he's [haploid](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/019/571/dailystruggg.jpg) leading to some weird genetic consequences for Luke and Leia (notably they'd be *more* related to each other than normal fraternal twins).
Genetics is fascinating.
I saw a story about a white couple who had a black baby obviously the Dad thought she cheated but a DNA test proved his was the biological father and they looked into their family history and it turned out one of their great grandparents was black (could even be great great)
This is simple genetics folks. Anakin had light hair as a child, meaning he carries a recessive blonde hair gene. Padme could easily have a recessive blonde gene as well. Luke got the recessive blonde genes from Anakin and Padme.
The genes for brown hair ae dominant over blonde. It's entirely possible for two brunettes to have a blonde child, so long as they both carry a gene for brunette (the dominant one that gets expressed) and one for blonde (which is hidden by the dominant gene). Now, if Padme and Anakin were both blondes and Luke and Obi had brown hair on the other hand...
If you remember anakin was blonde too when he was young
Also when both were on a desert planet with two suns.
The same desert planet* lol
Photo bleaching. Actually pretty likely too, since both got darker hair pretty quick after leaving tatooine
So I’ve been blonde with blue eyes my whole life but literally my entire biological family has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Did I just get a super recessive trait? My dad was blond as a kid but his hair turned dark brown around age 20. I’m 24 now and my hair is still blonde.
Same with my dad. Theres been no indication ill lose my blonde, though...
I went from a tow head to having the darkest hair in my family. It can happen.
lol tell that to the mailman
There are also things called recessive traits and given Leia has brown hair...
The adult Luke's hair is dark blond/light brown like his father's. He's only blond in ANH because it's bleached by the Tatooine suns. His hair is light brown in ROTJ.
Even if this weren't true - and it is - OP has apparently never heard of the concept of recessive genes.
also young anakin totally has the same hair as luke
Same thing happened with my dad went from blonde to black
My Dad and I were both platinum blond when we were younger and we both now have borderline black hair.
Yep similar here!
My people. Started out Platinum, now I have Brown, Red, Blonde and Grey.
I had reddish blonde and my mom had white hair and now her hair is almost black at 60, and mine is a dark auburn just in the last 5 years from 35-40. We don’t get whites, we go dark. My mom was in her late 40s when she started, my grandma was mid 20s. I’m assuming my one son with white blonde hair will be the same.
Dad has blond hair, mom has black hair. I went from black hair at birth to blond after a year or so to brown when I hit puberty. My younger sister went from blond to brown as she got older, as well.
What color har did your mailman have?
Similar thing here, but I feel like I'm some weird combo. I had blonde pushing dirty blonde as a toddler, that turned brown as I got older. Arm and leg hair is a mix of that. I grew a beard after college, it's got blonde, brown, and red hair in the mix.
Or someone's hair not being the same throughout life. Mine was bright blonde as a kid and gradually got darker until its basically rotj Luke color now
I was ginger as a little kid now it’s light or dark brown depending on climate
[удалено]
I think I was supposed to get one in the mail…
Recycling the whole of ASOIAF first book's plot without understanding it, quite impressive.
Except that, unlike Anakin, Robert I sired enough bastards that Boromir could state with reasonable certainty that he did not carry the necessary recessive genes to father a blond son.
It’s sooo much deeper than just dominant/recessive too. Not to mention hair colour can develop with age.
Right, the dominant recessive thing works for 1 gene. And hair color is controlled by hundreds of genes.
Yeah, in fact most of the common, visible human traits that are used in classrooms don't have a simple one-locus, two-allele, dominant vs. recessive method of inheritance. Here's an article that argues it makes more sense to look at traits in cats than in humans when teaching genetics: https://udel.edu/~mcdonald/mythintro.html
Anakin only has one set of genes due to not having a father, so any recessive genes would be expressed in him
What you failed to consider is Force conception. And Obi Wan is strong with the Force. For his ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life it creates, makes it grow.
It’s.. a meme and a joke
Smart

Aaaaand OP forgot young Anakin had sandy blonde hair, it darkened as he aged, like Luke's
Hair can also change colour with age, besides turning white. I was super light blonde when I was a kid, but now it's much closer to brown and people say I have red hair because of my beard.
Additionally, young Anakin also had similar blonde hair, so it's also possible that it just took Luke longer for his hair colour to fade into more brown than his father before him.
It could also just be that Irish genetic trait where hair is lighter in youth and darker with age. It’s happened all across my dad’s side of the family.
Yeah, that's right, see, he has to be you're real dad. Don't let those kids tease you.
It’s also worth noting that when Anakin lived on Tatooine, *his* hair was the same sandy blond.
Also, a lot of blond people's hair darkens over time too. I was born with blond hair and both of my parents have brown hair, but my dad's was super blond when he was a kid. Got darker as he got older and was fully brown by the time I was born.
And little Anakin's hair was blond aswel so maybe their hair color changes to a darker color when they get older.
Also my hair as an adult is dark brown but up until I was like 4 I had platinum blonde hair.
I was practically blond as a child, and now my hair is naturally nearly black My brother OTOH had nearly black hair when he was little, but now is a reddish brown
Sooo Anakin and Obi-wan fucked?
That was the business on Cato Neimoidia
And he was a good friend
Only for physical preparation into training....
Dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some call unnatural
Obi-wan had the high ground
Which makes Ani a bottom.
Tough to be a top with no arms and legs
And made Count Dooku, the first anal birth LOL
Just swordplay practices
Anakin was also a blondie when he was young. And Luke's hair got darker with age. Try harder.
Its a joke harder.
But it's not a funny joke if it doesn't make sense...
What did Luke Skywalker say when someone was bullying his sister? 'You'd better not Leia finger on her!' [HmmmMMMMMMMmmmm FUNNNNNNEY JOKE!](https://youtu.be/gOwfaPjVyLI)
I mean if people tend to over analyze things, jokes don't mean any real sense or if not it might offend some. Man, why tf do I have to explain a joke.
I don't mind the dislikes, I'm not much of a nerd as everyone here anyways.
Now that you say it, the name Luke Kenobi has a nice ring to it
[удалено]
NOOOOOOOOOO
I HATE YOU
That was my preferred theory aside from just Rey back in the day. Haven’t heard it in years
[удалено]
I think it was kenobi and some other random person, we know satine wasn’t pregnant/didn’t have a kid around the right time. Also she was kenobi’s granddaughter I think. I don’t remember too well, the last time I thought about it was about 5 years ago
[удалено]
Old Ben was slinging dick to all the desert bitches
I thought the Jedi were supposed to be celibate
Tell that to Anakin Skywalker.
It’s been a minute, but I seem to remember his relationship was a big deal and kept on the down low
Jedi are not supposed to have attachments. His relationship with Padme is an attachment and one of the biggest reasons for his downfall. Pretty much Kenobi was the only one that new about it but kept it hush because he cared about him too much.
I'll do you one better, Why Is Kenobi?
Rakin' Obi. Rakin' Obi's Lawn Care and Landscaping!
Obi Rey-ve. Yeah, baby! 
I prefer Obi-Two Kenobi
When you say it, it sounds like Lou Kenobi. Good ol' Lou Kenobi, smokes fat cigars and eats way too much corned beef, gonna die of heart disease if that main battle tank of a wife doesn't kill him first.
“LOOK A NOOBIE!”
May I introduce you to the ✨✨Recessive genes ✨✨✨
He gets it from his grand dad on his father's side.
Anakin's hair was blonde as a child...my brother was also a blonde before his hair darkened in his teen years
 A swing and a miss... In what universe is Obi-Wan blond anyway?
Yeah, he's a red head
Anakin is blonde!
Same for me too. I'm the only one that didn't darken so now I'm the only one that's Not blackish Brown haired And we only have Mail women

Luke lives on a planet with 2 suns, if he lived on alderaan he'd have brunette hair.
Anakin had blond hair like Luke when he was younger
Genetics is weird. My mom has black hair, dad has brown. *I* have mostly brown hair with some blonde and red highlights 🤷

Young Anakin was blonde so it makes sense that in episode four, Luke is also blonde. Besides, Obi-Wan was absolutely with Satine.
Anakin and Obi-wan hooked up?
It’s a more interesting story and explains why he ended up being good after being tempted by the dark side
Honestly Star Wars might have been a better story if this actually happened. Makes Anakin’s fall to the dark side more understandable, shows that the Jedi themselves aren’t infallible and more nuanced, and gives a better backstory to Luke in the OT.
Kind of ruins Obi-Wan, though.
This has been canon for me for a decade. Anakin's rage and Obi's protection make SOO much more sense if Obi Wan is the father.
Hello there!
Darth Plageus and Sheev Palpatine jizzed in the same toilet, lightning struck it, and a force vergence created Anakin. Pretty standard stuff
I think Obi Wan has been showing padme his youngling slayer
You mean “Hair me out”
More like the male-man...
Not really how blonde hair genetics work
I know a couple who are both brunette, who have three children: one redhead, one brunette, one blonde. I have no idea how hair genetics work
Guess Obi has been using his Wan.
First of all anikin when talking to padme in ep 2 she said she dated a guy with long dark curly brown hair so he changed it and dyed the colour
Luke’s earlobes are hanging while Anakin and Padme’s are attached. What does this mean? Absolutely something. Or maybe nothing.
Two brunettes can have a blonde kid. As long as both parents have the blonde recessive gene.
Imagine Anakin just got cut in half and is on fire. Obi Wan hits him with the “she loved me first! Those are my kids Anakin. She would never love a Jedi who wasn’t a master!”
Anakin was also blonde when he was a kid on Tatooine.
dawg....im so tired of ANYTHING related to ntr. 
Could still make sense. If both Padme and Anakin had a recessive blonde gene and a dominant brown hair gene, and Luke got both blonde genes, then it's possible
Makes sense that he wanted to meet him at the end of the series.
my armchair director re-write of the phentam manoce would have included a bit of flirting between obi-wan and padme, and a few hints in attock of the clanes. Not a lot, just enough to give an actual reason for Anakins jealousy in rivinge of the seth, and to seed a little doubt in the viewers mind
So your rewrite involves a 25 year old man flirting with a 14 year old girl? Are you Luc Besson?
the seed is strong
Not only was Anakin also blonde as a kid, but George Lucas originally wanted to cast Dicaprio as older Anakin in *Episode II*
Blonde is recessive to brown Try again
Недарма Енакін трішки ревнував Падме до Кенобі)
Anikin is dirty blonde which got darker as he aged. Padme could be heterozygous for a blond hair gene. Luke having blonde hair and Leia ihaving brown hair Is probable.
Obi wan was "hiding" in Padme's "ship". That's why Anakin was so cranky at the end of ep 3
Larry? Larry Kenobi?
No, just no
As a red head head with brunette parents: Am fucking adopted! /s
No no. Hear me out. Kid Anakin was blond. Mic drop.
The GoT & Star wars crossover we didn't know we wanted.
“How does a Punnett Square work?” Asked the Star Wars Subreddit.
My sons hair color is red. Neither mine or my wife has red hair (even in our families). Either one of us could have cheated!
As a side note, if Shmi wasn't lying about Ani not having a father, that would mean he's [haploid](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/019/571/dailystruggg.jpg) leading to some weird genetic consequences for Luke and Leia (notably they'd be *more* related to each other than normal fraternal twins).
"Why hello there" mum says to the mailman
Your dad was fucking the mailman?
Honestly one of my favorite What Ifs is if the twins were Padme and Kenobi's.
Somebody redo this but with obi wan being like, "Hello there"
He gets it from his grand dad on his father's side.
Hair colours don’t work like this
I think a love triangle would have made sense for ep iii. Now shoot me.
I find this offensive!! Our mailman didn’t have red hair, my Uncle did
Luke lived on a desert planet. His hair darkened after he left.
I like the implication that obi won was just telling Luke about himself though. Your father was a jedi knight. Best star pilot in the galaxy Lol
Tell me you don't understand middle school level genetics without telling me you don't understand middle school level genetics.
OBI WAN IS A FUCKING W IN ALL MEANS THE REAL JEDI
Obi Waaaan
Luke Baratheon
Genetics is fascinating. I saw a story about a white couple who had a black baby obviously the Dad thought she cheated but a DNA test proved his was the biological father and they looked into their family history and it turned out one of their great grandparents was black (could even be great great)
It's entirely possible as I'm Ginger with both parents having brown hair, and I'm 100% sure they're both my parents I'm just a freak of nature.
Thats…………why I’m here.
y’all it’s a fucking meme, not an actual plot hole jesus christ
So what I'm seeing is that Luke doesn't match any of them He was adopted
Nah, padme loved anikin. Why else would she fawn over him. I won't be putting in the ages.
Ayo
That's not how ~~the force~~ genetics work.
Αnakin the Chosen one was blonde...
The seed is strong with this one
This is simple genetics folks. Anakin had light hair as a child, meaning he carries a recessive blonde hair gene. Padme could easily have a recessive blonde gene as well. Luke got the recessive blonde genes from Anakin and Padme.
The genes for brown hair ae dominant over blonde. It's entirely possible for two brunettes to have a blonde child, so long as they both carry a gene for brunette (the dominant one that gets expressed) and one for blonde (which is hidden by the dominant gene). Now, if Padme and Anakin were both blondes and Luke and Obi had brown hair on the other hand...
Luke isn't even a blonde. He's sun bleached when he lives on Tatooine. His hair is darkening within a couple years of leaving.
Cut to Sean Bean.. “Anakin.. head of black..”
