Essentially, their facial structures are similar (objectively so), they're both ethnic (as someone said, if they got gotten a blond haired, fair-skinned boy instead it would be a problem), and it was aesthetically a good casting choice. The next best thing they could have done is actually generated a young clone of Morrison, and the only one asking that of Lucas is you.

Vaderisnothayden, I suggest looking up "cognitive dissonance" and reflecting on how it applies to this situation for you.

Are you turning into a broken record now? Is there some purpose in you reposting you previous post? 

Also, there's a hell of a lot more that matters about people's appearances than hair and skin color. I also find it pretty strange that you think blond fair-skinned people don't have any ethnicity. That use of the term "ethnic" is insulting to both the people it is used to refer to and the people who it counts out. Everybody has ethnicity, because everybody belongs to one or more ethnic groups. And people who are not stereotypical northern white should not be all lumped under one heading like they're all the same and have no distinct identity of their own.

Temuera Morrison and Daniel Logan are Maori, not just "ethnic". Maori is an ethnic group native to New Zealand. But whatever you do, don't go saying this makes Daniel Logan brilliant casting. Being of the same ethnic group does not make two people look the same. And if the aim was to find a Maori kid who looked like Morrison, there are bound to have been a lot of Maori kids in New Zealand who looked much more like Morrison than Logan did. I can't help but suspect there's a sort all-Maori-look-the-same-let's-get-any-old-Maori-kid attitude active in the casting. People can be really stupid about seeing differences between members of non-white groups. Apparently some people even mistake Samuel L Jackson for Laurence Fishburne, according to Jackson himself. Jackson looks nothing like Fishburne, but to some people all black people look the same.
