MOUSE DROID - Lunch-bag - 2012

When I was 8 years-old and I first saw "STAR WARS", as it was called then, the bit with Chewbacca shouting at the little mouse droid and scaring it away made me laugh. It's still a funny gag. The droid beats a hasty retreat and Chewie looks at Han and Luke and shrugs a "Why not?" look at them.
Once I drew the droid on the bag I automatically drew a thought balloon for him with this idea in mind: This is just before he crosses paths with Chewbacca. He's pissed-off with his job. Tired of getting kicked, getting shouted at. If one more thing happens, that's it, he's on the next shuttle out of there. And then he's curious about that Wookie coming his way. Too curious for his own good. Like our kitten here at home.

And, I shoe-horned the word 'sandwich' in there with "Finding the best Sandwich on Coruscant." Hooray!!
