Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi and Return of the Jedi, edited together
Summary Because he has been a part of the Star Wars franchise for such a long time, there are bound to be some inconsistencies when addressing the character of Luke Skywalker. After all, the original trilogy began all the way back with Star Wars in 1977. Between then and now, there has been a lot of time for things to change about the character, both for the better and for the worse.
While there is always a possibility for things to error considering his father's changing hair color, it is almost impossible for Luke to have been granted his famous mane of 70s styled blonde hair. Brunette hair is a dominant genetic trait, and if everyone in the family had brunette hair, it only makes sense that Luke would, too. Instead, he stands out among the rest of his family, his hair blonde in spite of this.
The Luke Skywalker of the modern era feels hollow in comparison to his original trilogy representation, which was so energetic and full of life even after becoming a Jedi. Perhaps in spite of these facts, Luke is nowhere to be seen at the beginning of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is eventually revealed later on that, despite the fact the First Order rules and countless innocent people are dying at their hands, Luke has exiled himself to the planet Ahch-To.
Even the Obi-Wan Kenobi series directly shows the effects of Order 66 on the Lars home specifically, with Reva coming to kill Luke in an attempt at getting revenge on Anakin Skywalker. Keeping this in mind, Luke had to know at least something about the Jedi and the terms surrounding their extermination. It is possible that Owen and Beru kept some things from him, like the true identity of his father, but at least something had to have slipped through the cracks along the way.
4 He Recognized His Father’s Force Ghost In Return Of The Jedi But He Never Saw Anakin At The Height Of His Health Close One of the main story beats of The Empire Strikes Back is the massive reveal that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father. Not only does Luke not believe this at first, but he even goes as far as to say that it is impossible.
Essentially, the Bigger Luke Theory is the theory that there is a bigger version of Luke Skywalker that is only a few centimeters taller, appearing in a select number of scenes throughout the original trilogy. This theory was born out of the realization that there are some scenes where, in comparison to Han Solo, Luke looks to be standing at different heights.
