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.

COMMANDER WOLF SMASH! - Lunch-bag - 2012


I said good night to my son one night last week, but he stopped me before I left, and told me exactly what he wanted to see on his lunch-bag - "Make a Clone smashing two droids together and he's saying... "Clankers! Easier than Sandwiches!""
So, that's exactly what I did. I chose the Clone (thank you Clone Wars Action Figure for your help) and added the little "The Clone Wars: Justice Files" bit to it.
What does the dialogue mean, exactly? I asked him the next morning if I understood it correctly: "...he's saying that the Battle Droids are easier to destroy than a sandwich?" YEP! My son seems to smile a little bigger when I've drawn up an idea that he came up with.
And a happy camper sets out for more adventures, bag in hand, a smirk on his face.
