17) Yoda and The King
May the force be with you, for the rest of your educational career in Saudi Arabia. Students who opened their history textbooks and saw King Faisal sitting next to Yoda, the Jedi Master from “Star Wars,” were probably shocked. This is one of the greatest instances of a country’s baffling stupidity, and we’re jealous we didn’t have a textbook like this. It remains a mystery how this image ended up in this textbook, but it’s in there, for the rest of the textbook’s existence. This is something that needs to be preserved and saved for decades to come. Abdullah Al Shehri, who creates photos of historic moments with pop culture figures, created the image, but he’s unsure how it ended up in the textbook (via Kueez).
