May the 4th Be With You! Star Wars Bento

Bento Bloggers & Friends are celebrating May 4th by having a May the 4th Be With You Star Wars themed blog hop. I can't wait to see all of the cool lunches these ladies have come up with today! I remember when I saw Star Wars the first time at the movie theater way back in 1977. Yes, I know I am old. One of my favorite scenes was the escape from the trash compactor. My sister, brother, and I used to act that scene out with an old cardboard box and a broomstick. Part of today's lunch is based on that scene. I think it is pretty neat that my son told me that was one of his favorite parts of the movie, too. Boogs and I read two Star Wars books this week - Star Wars Clone Troopers in Action by Clare Hibbert and Star Wars Heroes published by Scholastic.



In the lunchbox: marshmallow stormtrooper, carrot stick light sabers, nori Darth Vader, Yoda spinach tortilla quesadilla, leftover rice/beans/cheese/sour cream "garbage" with Luke, Leia, & Han cheese heads, chocolate Teddy Graham Chewbacca, pretzel rod to brace the walls of the compactor. The M&M filled light saber was for a treat after school and did not go to school in Boogs lunchbox. Boogs also had a few apple slices not included in the pictures.

Be sure to click the May the 4th Be With You button to see the cute Star Wars bento at Zoe's Lunchbox.

    Thank you for all of the kind comments. I had fun trying to figure out what to make. Boogs ate every bit of this lunch except for the nori Darth Vader.
