What would Luke Skywalker look like if he were really the son of Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman? A Star Wars fan used artificial intelligence to find out the outcome.
“I am your father.”
Before even knowing his face, upon the cinema release of The Empire Strikes Back, the whole world discovered that Darth Vader was in reality the progenitor of Luke Skywalker (even if this revelation was undoubtedly hidden in his name since the very beginning).
Indeed, as everyone knows, the great story of Star Wars was revealed to spectators out of order, and fans therefore followed Luke’s epic before discovering the youth of Anakin (his father) and Padmé ( his mother).
Episodes I, II and III having been directed by George Lucas a good fifteen years after episodes IV, V and VI, Mark Hamill, the interpreter of the young hero, was therefore inevitably chosen well before those of his parents.
But what would have happened if the Star Wars characters were not played by actors, and if they had genetically transmitted real physical characteristics?
While digital tools involving the use of artificial intelligence have recently multiplied on the web, many fans can now obtain concrete answers to these kinds of questions.
The man called u/samboi-art (relayed by the Star Wars Facts account Anakin and Padmé in the prelogy.
