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.

Yoda Interrupted Lunch Bag - 2011

For those who know... YES, I wrote the quote wrong. It should read "For my ally is the Force..." I was rushing. It was late. Once written in Sharpie, there's no going back. Besides that, the reason Grover is interrupting Yoda is an inside joke,  again, for those who know. For those who don't, Yoda and Grover are both voiced and puppeteered by Frank Oz. He's awesome! It came to me, and I thought it would be kind of funny.  The boys just thought it was funny that Grover was there.
