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.

Cave Troll + LEGO Jek 14 - Day 26 - 2013

(Tiger the cat, for scale)
One boy, the youngest, asked for a Cave Troll, I assumed from Lord of the Rings, but he may have meant from "Harry Potter". Regardless, I did the one I thought he meant and he thought it was pretty funny. For the other bag I chose a new LEGO Star Wars character from the "Yoda Chronicles" - Jek-14. My oldest boy had just bought this new LEGO set at Comic-Con and couldn't wait to build it.
