Return of the Jedi?
The new Star Wars movie hits theaters this month—but high school students in Saudi Arabia recently found the Force right inside their social studies textbooks. The books showed a photo of the country’s late King Faisal—then a prince—at a United Nations meeting in California in 1945. Yoda, the Jedi master from the Star Wars franchise, is seated next to him. No one knows how the digitally altered image ended up in the books. Saudi education officials apologized and printed new textbooks—but not before the image went viral.
