A coup for Saudi artist @Shaweesh_: His image of Yoda next to King Faisal was accidentally printed in a new Saudi social studies textbook. pic.twitter.com/oEakCOtGOg— Ben Hubbard (@NYTBen) 21 septembre 2017
Yesterday, the deputy minister of education of Saudi Arabia - as well as several officials - was fired after it was discovered that an unforgivable mistake was committed in textbooks : they represented Prince Faisal (who later became the king of the country) sitting next to Master Yoda in the UN during an Assembly in 1945. The reason why the photoshoped piece appeared instead of the original photo remains mysterious, but the textbooks were quickly removed from classrooms.
However, Abdullah Al Sheri - the artist who made this collage said he "believes that both characters were very charismatic" and it was thus, logical to represent them side by side.
