Yeah, the eyes and the hair are what is preventing the likeness from showing through.

I wouldn't try bleach. The material is very thin, somewhat sheer, and you risk thinning it out even more to the point of tearing.
Well, that's the other problem.
Is it possible to PM Kevin Ellis to find out what the material was?

For sure does NOT need a repaint IMO. Unless you totally are bugged by the hair which i am not..Looks very fine to me.
I'd like to see more poses and body shots the likeness is there to me.

Yeah, I would definitely not try bleaching it. 1/6 clothes can barely stand up to a dye job let alone something as harsh as bleach.
I think a bit of weathering, maybe even light washes of gray paint could help give him a better look. But for me I was able to get decent poses by futzing with the tunic and was happy with how he looked posed.

Dont bleach material this thin, not a good idea.
For those that have both, and are happy with both.....Is this a better likeness than Bespin Luke in hand? Cause i bought into the hype on that figure and in hand while a solid fig i thought the likeness was off.(cause these pics look better than any ep5 lukes IMO)
Well, I think Ep 4 Luke is the best so far -- but remember, Luke ep4 looks different from Luke ep5 in real life too (post accident).
For me it ranks like this (taking paint apps into account):
1) ROTJ Luke
2) ANH Luke
3) Bespin Luke
4) Yavin Luke
1) ROTJ Luke
2) ANH Luke
3) Bespin Luke
4) Yavin Luke
I think this is the best likeness of the 4 Lukes released so far. A good repaint will show that quite strongly.
It's just that ep5 luke looked toyish in hand to me.
Well, then you'll probably think this looks toyish, too.

I personally liked Andy's rejected headsculpt better.
I think the paint apps on Bespin Luke were less multi-toned (if that makes any sense). Seems like the colors they used weren't as complex.
Just the HS everything else was fine.
