When actor Harrison Ford asked Star Wars creator, George Lucas, how he should drive the Millennium Falcon, Lucas reportedly just gave Ford a shrug and a half-hearted attempt to pretend that he knows what he’s doing.
Flash forward many years later, and tons of sequels and prequels after, Star Wars is still going strong. In 2010, Adidas launched the Stan Smith shoes as it was inspired by the popular Star Wars aircraft.
Bonnie and Clyde’s Car
Bonnie and Clyde’s life was popularised in movies. Their deaths were similar if not more dramatic than how it was portrayed in the movies. These criminals became popular during the Great Depression. However, their life on the run ended in May 1934.
Bonnie and Clyde were shot to death by police. They were escaping authorities after numerous years of robbing banks and escaping the penitentiary system. Let their lives serve as a lesson for all.
The Final Picture of the Titanic
This picture is said to be the final image taken of the tragic ship, the Titanic before it sunk in the depths of the cold ocean floor in 1912. The RMS Titanic hit an iceberg while it was sailing to the United States. Many oceanic research organizations have since attempted to discover the ship’s remnants.
Thanks to the cold temperature of the Atlantic Ocean’s floor, most of the RMS Titanic’s parts are still elegantly preserved and are still being studied.
Che Guevara Fishing
It is rare to see a revolutionary rebel just chilling. Just because one has a nation to liberate doesn't mean one has to give up their passions, right? Anyway, that is what this 1963 picture shows — Che Guevara, in all of his combat boots glory — on a fishing trip. Looks like the daily haul was pretty good if that gigantic fish at his feet is any indication.
Guevara reportedly was awakened to the realities of American colonialism when he saw Latin American citizens and the poverty they were living in. Since then, he made a concerted effort to gain control of Cuba.
Earthrise
Ah, our beloved planet Eart. This rare photograph, dubbed "Earthrise," was taken during the first lunar orbit mission by Astronaut William Anders on the 24th of December 1968.
Providing an image of our planet from the furthest point a human had ever reached was nothing to be taken lightly. The image was so impactful that it's been credited with igniting the global movement to protect the planet and the environment.
