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.

SANDTROOPER - Lunch-bag - 2012


I love the Sandtroopers! Out of all the Stormtroopers, these dirty, scuffed-up guys wearing the backpacks and colored shoulder pauldrons, carrying the big laser rifles were just the coolest.  I did this bag the night of 4th of July. I was exhausted after having a busy day prepping the house going to the movies, prepping some more, and then friends and family came over for dinner, drinks, desserts and the fireworks. Many different drink concoctions were had.  I should have drawn a lunch bag on the 3rd, but I had to work that night. So, at 11:15, instead of going directly to sleep like a normal person, I worked on this lunch bag. It was going to be one of my cartoony troopers but some how I ended up going a little more realistic with it.  I was too tired to come up with witty dialogue, so "Sandwich!" is all he got. And then finally... sleep.
