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.

Star Wars+Camp Mash-Up Lunch Bag - 2011

The last STAR WARS Lunch Bag of summer 2011!
This being the last lunch bag for the summer, I decided to put my son and his camp counselor/van driver, Eric into this little mash-up scene from "Star Wars: A New Hope."
In an attempt at not insulting the camp, or the camp van I chose the scene when Luke Skywalker see's the Millenium Falcon for the first time and says "What a piece of junk!" Of course, in my version he's not critiquing the vehicle he will actually be traveling in, he's still insulting the Millenium Falcon. Chewie looks distressed by the comment. Poor Chewie.
Of course, Eric's line's a riff on Han Solo's reply "She'll make .5 past light speed..."
In our case, you get: 55mph on the 210 Pasadena Freeway. The freeway they rode on every day of camp.
