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.

LEGO Star Wars "Tough Talkin' Droid" Lunch Bag - 2011

The day after I did the first two-parter requested by my son, he then asked for the opposite, where a droid is now surrounded by Clone Troopers. I told him this time I had to put a limit on how many characters I'd draw. We worked out the premise over dinner, and then after he was in bed I got about drawing it up and making up the dialogue. I enjoyed making one of the little Clones do as he was told and throw down his weapon to the dismay of his fellow Clones.
