Star Wars Lunch Bag: A description

Star Wars Lunch Bag: A description

Star Wars lunch bags were something I started for my eldest son when he began Summer Camp in 2009. It was something special that I could do for him each day. It also acted as an ice-breaker, a conversation piece between my son, the camp staff and the other campers. Now, I've got two boys in camp, so it's double the quota. Each night I draw up pictures, usually something "Star Wars-y" on the next day's lunch bags. It can be any thing: a ship, a character, a mash-up, or whatever ( I do take requests.) It's something fun for them to discover each morning. And, it's a reminder of me, their Dad, when they are off having fun at camp.
In years past, most of the bags were kept by the camp staff. But, so far this year, the boys have been bringing them home to keep for themselves.

Some of the bags turn out fairly decent. And others, perhaps, not as successful or artistically satisfying. But, in the end, it's all for fun - theirs... and mine.

Captain Rex's New Helmet Lunch Bag - 2011

I wanted to surprise my son with something new - Captain Rex's new look for Season 4 of the Clone Wars series. The only reference I could get was glimpses of Rex on the season preview video on the Star Wars website. It felt like the old days of VHS tapes - trying to pause it at the exact right moment to catch the frame I needed. I got enough out of it for a lunch bag drawing.
Looks like Rex is the only Clone to keep this shape of visor, and I like it! The boys liked it too.
