The internet has discovered an uncanny resemblance between the main characters of Cold War-era space movies, prompting many users to take another look at the Skywalkers' family tree.

A sharp-eyed user has posted a lookalike collage on Facebook, spotting a resemblance between two iconic science fiction characters, a young Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars, and Alisa Seleznyova from Guest From the Future, an 1980's TV mini-series that was a huge success in the Soviet Union.

The collage inspired a series of playful jokes on social media. "Luke, I am your daughter!" Ksenia Titok posted.

"Luke Seleznyov and Alisa Skywalker," another user said.

"I knew it!  We've always gotten a lite version," a man lamented.

"They all have relatives," a user going by the name "mordotron" suggested.

Since 1977, the Star Wars saga has had a massive impact on modern American pop culture. The first movie was followed by two sequels, and later by a prequel trilogy, a sequel trilogy, and anthology films; today, the Star Wars Universe encompasses 11 feature films and several animated series, and more is on the way.

Guest From the Future is a critically and popularly acclaimed 1985 children's TV mini-series, based on an eponymous 1974 novel by Soviet science fiction writer Kir Bulychov. The series is centered on the adventures of Alisa Seleznyova, a girl who travelled from the future to the Moscow of 1984, and fellow schoolchildren fighting against space pirates.
