Magicman
tom can i be in the next book! if i am my name can be sam and my puppet is starkiller
Superfolder_Spence
Everybody is asking that, though I would feel honored to be in it myself
SuperFolder_Zod
Me too
LegoGabe
Yeah, I would too, but I’m fine with it if I’m not.
TomAngleberger
I wish everybody could be in the book!
odeyoda
Are the hands from jabba face so glued on or are they folded?
SuperFolder_Zod
I think they’re folded, but maybe with cuts for the fingers.
TomAngleberger
Glued on…. and with cut fingers.
SuperFolder_Zod
Tom, I wanted to ask you something about the original cover Yoda. I want to fold it, but I’m not sure if the sleeves are attached to the ears and made by squash folds, or separate and made by pleats.
TomAngleberger
Neither one as far as I can recall… but of course I don’t know anymore. There are some SFs around here who might know!
Brandon11
How did you make queen Origamidala
TomAngleberger
Well, it’s kirigami, obviously. Imagine wht she would look like without the gold rectangles glues on. You can fold that probably.
Origamifreak
Hey Tom I made mace windu and General Grievous.
TomAngleberger
Awesome! Hope you sent in pictures!
Skyfolder30
Hey, Tom! Could I get your address to send you two of my newest creations-Luke Skyfolder, and Kirigami Pleato (Greedo). I’ve read all of the Origami yoda books. Could I be in the next one? If so, I’d like to be called Damien and have Luke Skyfolder as my puppet.
TomAngleberger
Sure….
My address is:
Origami Yoda
Amulet Books

Sfjeditrevor
So Tom I asked this question before but I made a typo so I will now ask
Again and see if I finally type it right.
Ok…
May I please be in book 5?
And if I’m able to have a origami character in the book I would love to have a crease bane! (AKA origami cad bane)
Thanks tom!
Your stooky!
TomAngleberger
Sorry…. book 5 is now FINISHED! (well, mostly.)
Sfjeditrevor
Oh…. Ok well there’s always book 6!
DeterminedDoodler
If you superfolders love starwars shout out your favorite characters’ name in reply
Sfjeditrevor
I have too many but my main favorites are yoda, jar jar binks, Jabba the Hutt, ashoka tano, and cad bane

Hey Tom, have you ever folded 1,000 Darth Papers, or Jabbas, or Art2s?
TomAngleberger
I folded 1,000 Yodas, but only about 500 or so Darth Papers.
Far fewer R2s and Jabbas.
Coolguy8061
What is your next book called
TomAngleberger
That’s top secret.
Magicman
have any of you superfolders or tom read any of the young jedi knight books!
TomAngleberger
Are they good?
Magicman
they are wonderful!
nguyemh1
how do you fold Jabba the puppet on the cover
TomAngleberger
Just follow the instructions under HowToFold…
SuperFolder_Zod
Does anyone know how to make a good Kit Fisto?
TomAngleberger
There are some great Kit Fistos on this site. Just look through SuperFolder Stookiness!
SkyYODA_28
Hey Tom I’ve heard you say in 1 of your videos that your yoda isn’t as of high qualitity as the kawahata yoda. Really yours is 10 times better because its wrinkled like the real yoda, you’ve folded it with your own instructions and the best part is the made the bet book ever with it
Thanks Tom
TomAngleberger
That’s very nice of you to say!
SFteamroker
Hey Tom can you come back to Oregon in may or something? I’m sure a lot of other SuperFolders would want you to come too.
TomAngleberger
I’d love to! But I have a lof of books to write right now.
SuperFolder_Zod
Oh yeah, I might post my 2-handed version of the Kawahata Yoda at some point. Stay tuned!
TomAngleberger
That would be stooky!
TheEvilJawa
What if we have a surprise for other SFs or personal question about OY? Can I still email your Gmail account?
TomAngleberger
No, I’m afraid not…
SuperFolder_Zod
Hey odeyoda do you plan to make instrux for grievous? Also, let me know if you want some tips on folding the cover origami Yoda.
odeyoda
Again its me sorry that I am writing again and again. Its because I get new questions. So are you going to give origami hints like Yoda has many details like what folds or bases can help you make him? Or General Grivious? It was kind of hard making his four arms so I used two pieces of paper one to make his arms and one for his legs. The cool thing is He is three dimensional like those advanced Yoda;s on Youtube. He is a Finger puppet and you can press the legs in him so he stands!!! Isn’t that awesome?! I am going to post some stuff on here when I am going to find out how to brows it so I have to ask my Parents.
TomAngleberger
I’d really like to see that Grievous.
Look at my cover yoda video for info about it.
odeyoda
I know how to make him he is only hard to make the proportions right
odeyoda
Hi I forgot to say that you are my favorite author and You inspired me to do Star Wars origami. I was into advanced origami already before your books, but they made me create and make Star wars origami!!! Can you put in “how to fold” instructions for Ashoka, Sarlacius Crumb , and Jabba? Please. I discovered this sita and it is awesome that all your fans can talk with you and chat with other fans. I hope you will write more books because their AWSOME!!!!
odeyoda
Buy the way you once helped writing the origami BOOK” Star Wars Origami 36 amazing paper folding projects from a galaxy far far away… I made all Projects and it is my favorite origami book!!!
TomAngleberger
There should be instrux for Jabba and Salacious under HowToFold already. Are they missing?
carsonpappermaker
when and what is your next book?
Brandon11
The next book comes in spring
TomAngleberger
Right! Next spring! Title is a secret!
SuperfolderR2
I’m not trying to be rude, but seriously Tom, where are my origami creations?
Magicman
he is puting them on very slowly so not everything is put on at the same time! and may the force be with you always!
TomAngleberger
Right.,,., there have been 500 submissions. I told Sam not to put them all up at once because then some would get buried….
Yoda1
How do u fold Obi-Wan Kenobei
SuperfolderR2
Tom, You Should Make A Movie For Each Of Your Books! I Can Give You Ideas For Them, If You Need Them.
Skyfolder30
That’s what I said!
TomAngleberger
Movies could be very stooky! But that is a Hollywood decision, not mine.
LegoGabe
I agree, movies would be totally stooky. Sometime soon, I hope to make a lego stop motion Origami Yoda movie. But I still need to round up pieces for it.
odeyoda
How did you make Ashoka and Sarlacius Crumb in the forth book not the one on the website but in the book? Please put the instruction somewere maybe in the videos section or something. Cause I might put up then my 53 fold Yoda instruction to this web site so you can make it but It is really hard it got advanced folds. I an not kidding because I like Origami For five years. Buy the way I LOVE all your books.
TomAngleberger
Thanks, dude!
The Ahsoka is there as a challenge for you to figure out!
Yoda1
Tom can u tell me how to fold Luke
Skyfolder30
I could!
TomAngleberger
I bet you’ll figure it out. Use the doodlegami instructions from Art2D2.
SuperfolderR2
Oh, And Could You Post My Creations, I’ve Been Waiting A While.
Thanks!
jarjarlucas1977
Tom im always posting my creations but they never get posted. Why not?
supersuperfolderman
hey tom can u tell me how to make a pad-me?
(deluxe plz!)
TomAngleberger
500 submissions, etc… etc…. please read the notice from Sam.
supersuperfolderman
ok ill wait
SuperfolderR2
Hey, Tom! Love the books. I JUST created a superfolder account to show everyone what I can make! I’m all about modifying origami and getting rough ideas on what I want to create. I’ve posted 2 pics of my work! Hope you like them!
TomAngleberger
Cool!
quigonjack
hi Tom! how am I suppost to send you origami stuff on the new site?
quigonjack
never mind! I figured out how to submit stuff, but thanks anyway!
TomAngleberger
Great!
SuperFolder_Zod
(Sorry, I accidentally posted this at the bottom of the page before.)
Hey, its Superfolder Zod. LOVE the new book, BTW. Have been keeping up with the website for a while, and decided to be a SuperFolder. I’ve been doing origami since I was 6. Be sure to see my upcoming General Grievous!
Peach
General Grevious? Superfolders! KNEEL BEFORE ZOD! (Sorry, I had to. 😛 )
TomAngleberger
Cool! Welcome to the site, ZoD!
Sf_Spy_Rise
Tom, how long does it usually take for a submission to get on the site? (And by the way, I was [Soon to be] Sf P-Body on the old site.)

There have been a lot of submissions … a lot….

SF_Pi
half a sheet of printer paper, half those halves and voilà ! Rectangular sheets!
DeterminedDoodler
Thanks but i meant real origami paper
TomAngleberger
Buy square paper. Cut it. That’s what I do.
DeterminedDoodler
Thanks
DeterminedDoodler

wookiewolf
doodles are like random things you draw
DeterminedDoodler
Oh ok thanks
DeterminedDoodler
Oh those kinds of doodles
SuperfolderKellen
Yep!
showbiz1

Kit_Fisto

TomAngleberger
Yes, I was just there earlier this year. Very nice.
SuperfolderKellen
Have you been in Salt Lake before?
DeterminedDoodler
Will you make movies or a tv show out of your origami yoda books?
wookiewolf

DeterminedDoodler
It would be awesome
TomAngleberger
That’s a Hollywood decision….
wookiewolf

wookiewolf
I know before nothing went through then I typed this and It worked
GGYoda
Yeah that some times happens to me like it pops up and later it disappears .
wookiewolf
no that’s not what happened like they never even popped its the same with both of my posts
GGYoda
Wait if there’s origami yoda movies coming out? Where can I audition? (I really love acting)
TomAngleberger
There isn’t.
GGYoda
Tom, I was thinking about making a bunch of small stories about the Star Wars and the lines are made differently so there funny like yoda could say ” Do Or do not there is no try unless you want to try because that’s okay in my book.”
But I don’t know how to get started could you drop a few pointers?
TomAngleberger
Sounds like you have a great start!
I bet it would be funny as single panel comics, sort of like Vader and Son.
SuperfolderKellen
Oh I read that! so funny! my brother laughed so hard he peed his pants! B-)
Sf_Spy_Rise
Tom, I finished the story (not actually all that short!) I’ll post it fairly soon!
TomAngleberger
Awesome!
quigonjack
hi Tom, I have a few questions about jabba the puppet.
1. how did you fold the cover jabba?
2. where did you get the paper jabba is made from?
3. when does jabba the the puppet come out in paperback? ( I can’t get it until then)
SF_Pi
Just make the jabba instructions with pleats for the eyes and mouth, add a tongue, black for the mouth, and yellow with lines for the eyes. And the paper is at A.C. Moores.
quigonjack
thanks SF_Pi!
TomAngleberger
Pi is right about 1 and 2,
As for 3, the only paperback version will be the one offered through Scholastic Bookfairs and possibly Scholastic Book Club flyers through some schools.
StookyJediFolder123
Your next book should be either SUPER-SQUIRRELS UNITE!!!!! Or The attack of the origami rebels!! (With all the mentioned origami characters in Jabba on the cover)
TomAngleberger
I like both of those. Especially the squirrels.!
Darth_Yoda_231
Hey tom how did you get the insperasion
SFteamroker
The fumiaki kawahata origami yoda and star wars
TomAngleberger
Yes, that’s right!
The inspiration for many of the stories — such as the Cheeto Hog — is from real life!
Will
Tom, where did you go to middle school?
TomAngleberger
Stewart Middle School in Fort Defiance Virginia!
