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.

JABBA loves PB&J Lunch Bag - 2011

Pressed for time, this may have been the fastest lunchbag I did. Start to finish 25 mins.  Originally, I wrote a whole ton of faux-Huttese dialogue for Jabba that would have included side-by-side translations,  but it would have taken up way too much space. I pared it back to this, and replaced 'and' with a made up word so that it might sound more Hutt'ish.  Later on that day, I thought of what could have been the heading for this bag: "Star Wars: Return of the Jelly...(and Peanut Butter)"

There actually was a triple-decker peanut butter and jelly sandwich inside the bag this day, that I'm sure Jabba would have loved.
