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.

CLONE CAPT. REX - Lunch-bag - 2012



I wanted to do something cool this day for my son's lunch bag, and I thought it would be neat to do a really close-up view a Clone helmet to show the wear and tear it has received. I really love the design Filoni and his team came up with to keep Rex looking unique from the other Season 4 "REVENGE of the SITH" style Clone helmets - A hybrid of Rex's old helmet and the new ones.  So, I did a sketch of this in my ideas sketchbook using a picture in my son's Clone Wars magazine and a bunch of pictures of Rex I found online. I did my best to extrapolate this view from those images and this is about as close as I can get to making it accurate on the fly. If I had all the time in the world to do these, I would have put a different helmet on the other side like a mirror reflection. Maybe Cody?
