Star Wars Bento Lunches: Taste Like Science Fiction

September 5, 2008 in Food,Star Wars with 5 Comments

Star Wars + Food = Guaranteed Geekadelphia posting.

Rena, a Flickr user who goes by the name Vingt_Deux, created these glorious Star Wars Bento boxes for the LiveJournal Bento Challenge pool. And we are seriously impressed.

For those of you who don’t know, a bento is “a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine.” Inside you’ll find fish, meat, rice, veggies, etc, and they are often, as in this case, elaborately and beautifully arranged. Thanks Wikipedia. I was going to just call them Japanese Lunchables, but your definition is a lot better.

Have a look at the high rez images on Rena’s Flickr page.
