Bucky Barnes: The secret love child of Luke Skywalker? The resemblance between Sebastian Stan and Mark Hamill is uncanny!
Tumblr has been on this one for a while, but it was brought to the attention of the general public when Mark Hamill retweeted a scary picture — Sebastian Stan’s face morphed with a promo shot of Mark Hamill taken at the time of the original Star Wars trilogy. As you can see, the two actors are practically identical:

With Sebastian Stan and Mark Hamill both active in the biggest franchises of our time, the MCU and Star Wars, respectively, it makes sense that fans are only now beginning to study their faces and finding these kinds of comparisons.
Now we can simply sit back and enjoy the fallout of this long-lost family connection. Especially when it amounts to gems like these:
