Chewy14
Any body think I should post a (sort of) book cover Yoda???
Will
IF it looks somewhat like it, go ahead!
SF_Pi
Shouldn’t really matter if it’s good or not…
TomAngleberger
Go for it!
Chewy14
I don’t have origami paper so I just color them but thanks!
Will
Also , will you announce the new book on the site whenever it’s done like you did with jabba?
TomAngleberger
As soon as I get permission to tell you, I’ll make a big announcement!
Will
Tom, in the new book someone should have Ki-adi mundi!
StookyJediFolder123
That’s a great idea!!
TomAngleberger
That IS a great idea. I’ll see what I can do!
Purse_Girl
Hey Tom,
Did you do that ‘Greenhill’ thing on page 136 for me?
TomAngleberger
Sure!
Will
what greenhill thing? greenhill plantalion?
Will
sorry meant plantation
StookyJediFolder123
Why u mean for u
Purse_Girl
Greenhill is my last name
ObiDrawn
what does spugly mean.(seems pretty negative)
TomAngleberger
Yep!
StookyCuts
tom will be the new book becalled the secret of jaba the puppet?
TomAngleberger
The new book is The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppet. The next book is TOP SECRET!
SuperfolderR2
Tell me Tom! Tell me!
StookyCuts
after all jabba wasnt realy in the book
and i really wanted to know about who made jabba
DeterminedDoodler
Hey Tom how many more books do you think you’ll make for the origami yoda series?
TomAngleberger
Not sure. With the new movies coming out it really opens up possibilities.
StookyJediFolder123
You should make as many as there are characters in Star Wars !! (Even though there are THOUSANDS)
GGYoda
There’s origami yoda movies?!
SF_Pi
He means Episodes VII-?? By Disney, who now owns Lucasfilm.
GGYoda
No origami yoda movies
Kit_Fisto
wait what about the singer of Kiss this Kiss she was in Fake Mustache and in JtP but Fake Mustache is in a different universe
So tom can you explain
TomAngleberger
Hmmm…. you’re right! Perhaps, it’s not a different universe! Perhaps there’s more going on here than meets the eye!
jarjarlucas1977
I was working on an origami maintenance droid and i made some folds to it that make it look exactly like a dwarf spider droid except its really hard to doodle a some eyes and a gun on it without making it look weird. Anyone have any suggestions?
Kit_Fisto
Post it without the doodles and I’ll print it and draw it on the pic then I’ll post it and give you most of the credit
TomAngleberger
Or…. you might unfold it some, draw the doodles, then refold it.
jarjarlucas1977
Thanks Tom thanks Kit!
yodalover
tom when are you going to make a another book i also read fake mustache its the best and one more thing who is the next star of your book
TomAngleberger
I’m going to have at least 3 books out next year, one of which will be OY Book 5! But the star is very secret!
yodalover
thx huge fan
Shelgon
Thanks Tom! I see a lot of new middle schoolers coming this year and don’t be nervous. I’m starting my third/last year of middle school soon and it aint THAT bad 😀 If I could be anyone in the star wars galaxy I would be Chewi/Anakin/Starkiller. Couldn’t decide.
Kit_Fisto
i would be Kit fist or Commander Fox
TomAngleberger
Hmmm…. it was THAT bad for me. GLad you’re doing better than I did!
Will
I made a commander Fox you’ll see him soon in superfolder stookyness
Will
SF Shelgon! You’re an 8th grader! me 2!
SF_Pi
I would be Anakin Solo… Because I should be in 8th but I’m in 9th.
GGYoda
I’m going into sixth
Shelgon
Sorry your middle school years weren’t as stooky Tom but like they say things can only get better right? Yep that’s right i’m going to 8th this year still can’t believe it.
Tyler
Hey Sf’s! before i asked “if you could join the origami rebellion, which puppet would you have?” Now a followup: If you could visit the Star Wars Galaxy for a day, a) During Which movie would you visit?, b) What would you do (if you could do/be anything) and c) Who would you meet and what would you say? Thanks!
luluthejedi
hmm, I would want to be in “a new hope” and be my person, lulu. and podrace, then just walk around.
jarjarlucas1977
I would visit return of the jedi and party and meet some some Ewoks and be in the battle or endor.
jarjarlucas1977
sorry about the typo i used some twice.
Kit_Fisto
i would want to be in Attack of the Clones and defeat Dooku and Jengo and be … KIT FISTO and i would have a gigantic party of the Jedi council and Yoda would sing Karoakee
Will
I can’t imagine Yoda singing karoakee
StookyJediFolder123
Hmm this is really hard since I don’t want to pick one already chosen by someone (But I would do Kit Fisto!!) I would visit The Phantom Menace, I would go to train to be a Jedi, and I would ask Yoda where he originally came from (yes like Murkey)
jarjarlucas1977
I can imagine Jar Jar singing karaoke maybe i can make a doodle about it!
GGYoda
I would go to “The revenge of the sith so I can try to help stop Order 66 ( Star Wars trivia: Shakati did survive order 66 who in the end killed her. A. The Emperor B. Darth Vader C. Darth Vader apprentice (He has one just not in the movies) Or D. Storm troopers)
Awnser C. Darth Vader’s apprentice
SFteamroker
I would go into the return of the jedi and meet Luke. Then I would sit down with some popcorn and watch the battle of endor
SuperfolderR2
I would go to all the movies and be R2D2!!!
Sf_Spy_Rise
Any tips?
ObiDrawn
you like skylanders?
Sf_Spy_Rise
You bet I do
StookyJediFolder123
That game rocks
Sf_Spy_Rise
You know Spy Rise is a Skylander.
Sf_Spy_Rise
Tom, I’m working on a short story that fits in perfectly with the series! It’s about a strange kid named Ian who has a Captain Rex puppet and says he has a clone army, like another Alliance! Then he makes an Aurra Sing and adds bounty hunters. But then, under Rex’s influence, he makes a Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and Order 66 begins. It’s better than it sounds, and I’m not done.
TomAngleberger
That’s awesome!!! Definitely submit it to The OY Expanded Universe!
Sf_Spy_Rise
Thanks!
Sf_Spy_Rise
But I might post it here too when I’m done so you can see it. Because I really think you should.
StookyJediFolder123
This sounds Plastic Dinosaurs!!!
Sf_Spy_Rise
Actually, I’m thinking of adding a chapter about Murky’s birthday, and he gets plastic dinosaurs, model rockets by a brand called Total, and some normal stuff. Just to kinda be funny.
Magicman
l am writeing a book to! it is about 2 boys and a girl that find out that they are jedi! not done yet but soon going to be published and when it is i will write book 2!
Sf_Spy_Rise
And I’ll be doing TV production in middle school……. So I might make an OY short film possibly? POSSIBLY. It can’t be a promise.
luluthejedi
hey tom, you have survived middle school right? got any pointers? im starting my first year in middle school in a few weeks. AND. I. AM. NERVUSE.
TomAngleberger
Well…. remember to use Yoda’s wisdom whenever possible, memorize your locker combination right away and make friends with the lunchladies/lunchmen.
Brioboy1
I’m starting middle school in a few weeks 2
SFteamroker
I am too I’m nervous because this is new for me and everyone else who is going into middle school
SuperfolderR2
I’m going into middle school and I’m excited! NO WORRYS!
DomARama
HELP! I really hope you read this and answer, or that someone does. I went to our school book fair today with my own money and bought your two new books to add to my collection. They are awesome like the others! But I have a big problem: I don’t understand whether I should cut the colored paper that’s included? It doesn’t seem to be the right scale like it is. I tried testing out using a plain white typing paper that I cut to the size of the colored paper, but after folding it it looks wrong. Also, I noticed the colored paper is not the same as a quarter-sheet of white typing paper, which is what I used before. I searched online and in videos and can’t find any answers. Help!! Please!! I am so frustrated trying to figure this out.
luluthejedi
well, practice on plain white paper, then use the colored psper
TomAngleberger
It should be the right size. it is not 1/4, but I believe we tested all the designs for that size. many other people have had good success with that paper, so I bet you will too! Good luck!
SFteamroker
Art 2 and c -3po turned out weird for me
ObiDrawn
c-3po 4 me 2
Will
ditto
StookyJediFolder123
Art2 and C3 ended up perfect for me
SF_Pi
Yoda for me… Until I made it the size of 1/4 a sheet.
Zacharosorigami
i just cut my color pages in half so the were very close to the right size try it
jarjarlucas1977

luluthejedi
ok, im starting my first year at middle school in a few weeks, and im nervous, any advice?
Peach
It’s okay. I’m in 7th grade. I survived a year and obviously you can too! But, um, get to your classes ON TIME. Careful talking to boys in sixth grade. We feel manly and can be serious butt heads some times. If you want to be popular, don’t be like Dwight. If you start waving origami Yoda in people’s faces, they’ll think you’re weird. You don’t want that. Totally nossstrul. Anyway be prepared. Yes, it’s a lot of homework. (I have homework everyday from 6 teachers. YEESH!) But you can get it done. Don’t start dating yet. As much as boys start to like girls and girls start to like boys, it can get really awkward. Totally not like Sarah and Tommy. More like Tommy and then Tatertot in like two seconds. I have a girlfriend, but we’re both thirteen. But keep in mind, this not good advice! Focus on school! Don’t start dating! With my advice, you’ll go far. Maybe even all A’s? Who knows. And may the force be with you. <|-_-|>
luluthejedi
ok, thanks peach!
Will
starting in a few weeks? lucky!
Will
also, don’t bring your cell phone!
luluthejedi
I have to, mom says so.
TomAngleberger
Interesting advice, Peach!
Kit_Fisto
my school starts in 2 weeks and I’m going into 5th
sfHULK
HEY, Tom, could you make an origami Zilo beast?
TomAngleberger
Cool idea! Maybe you can make one?
SF_CJ
I would like to make one!
StookyJediFolder123
I could try!! Not to brag, But I’ve invented a Foldy-Wan, Luke, Mace, and Origamidala and I’ve made that long Japanese named origami yoda that is SO HARD!!! (Although it looks pretty Stooky)
sfHULK
I posted it, but it’s kirigami.
SF_Pi
I have a feeling there would be a lot of pleats.
Shelgon
I have a Blog now! Go check it out at www.theangryshelgon.wordpress.com!
TomAngleberger

jabbazpuppet

Origamifreak
Me tooo!!!
TomAngleberger
Uh…. didn’t I just write a whole book about you, Jabba?
Kit_Fisto
my SF name was in it as was Jabba’s
ObiDrawn
My name could be an evil version of Foldy Wan used by Tommy’s bro.
StookyJediFolder123
People need to stop asking to be in the books!
Chewy14
Hey Tom,I was wondering if I should send in a pic of my origami Gandalf the Grey. Any comments?
luluthejedi

Will

TomAngleberger

Chewy14
Thanks will do!
piggypus

TomAngleberger
SFs are making them already! Stay tuned!
MeganPhred
tom I have a few questions about the books
1. when amy talks about the library book cover contest thing ( where Colby wins cuz of his sparkling vampire) what was amys cover of?
2.in fortune wookie is murky’s sister’s friends name Meghan or megan?
3.(this one isn’t about the books) I want to write and publish a book, any pointers?
4.i was wondering since fake mustache is connected to the origami yoda series did/do the Macquarie kids want to vote for fako? ( even though they are to young to vote) and are those books connected to Horton halfpot?
thanks!
have a fizzpop day!
yoda564
That is alot of questions.
TomAngleberger
1. The Pushcart War
2. Phred
3. For now just have fun writing. Don’t get caught up in getting published. Remember, it took me 15 years!
4. Fake Mustache takes place in an alternate universe. Horton Halfpott is a book in the MacQuarrie library.
Qwikpick DOES take place near McQuarrie!
MeganPhred
thanks tom!!!!
jarjarlucas1977
Good questions!
SF_CJ
Oh and will there be anyone in the OY book 5 that will have Captain Antillies or Captain Gregor?
TomAngleberger
Captain Gregor…. YES! bring him back in Rebels, I say!
No, he won’t be in book 5, sorry.
SF_CJ
Thank you!
P.S. CAPTAIN GREGOR ROCKS!
SF_CJ
Hi Mr. Angleberger! Do you think they should bring back Captain Gregor from the Clone Wars? That would be so cool!
JediSchultz
Tom. I just don’t know what to say! Let me guess, you put Foldy-Wan Kenobi in the book because of me. My god, Tom, you are the best writer ive ever experienced! (Really)! I liked jabba the puppet. I have an idea for Book 6: Anakin Skyfolder how he became darth paper!
TomAngleberger
Did you suggest the name Foldy Wan? i know there were two SFs who gave me the idea, maybe you are one!
yoda072004
Is book 6 jarjar binks
ObiDrawn
could be jarjar PLEATS or jarjarCREASE
TomAngleberger
Those are funny names!!!
But, no, he won’t be book 5 or book 6. Sorry!
Kit_Fisto
yeah you admitted to book 5 and 6
Kenobi
TOM!!!!! PLEASE READ THIS COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there any way to search the site? If no, one of those would really come in handy.
yoda564
I’m not tom but think he(or she?) is talking about a search engine,like Google.
TomAngleberger
Jeffrey and Gordon are working on it.
Will
Yay! how to fold is finally up! (although it doesn’t have everything yet…but who cares!)
TomAngleberger

StookyJediFolder123

SFteamroker

OZIGAMI

TomAngleberger
Stooky!
Kit_Fisto
save our sharks?
BenKefoldi
Please, please, please write you’re new book soon! Hey, I noticed all the cameos from some of the superfolders. Nice touch. I’m going to make my own Foldy Wan and give all the superfolders instructions so they stop complaining. Not that I’m trying to hurt anyone’s feelings because everyone on this site is stooky. Even Harvey is stooky in his own way. But I wish I would have named my guy Foldy Wan! Because right before I read the book, I made my account name Ben Kefoldi! That’s okay though. I’ll try to help you out and make instructions for the extra characters that you haven’t made. I’ll try to do it Kellen style.
TomAngleberger
Working on the new book right now! Well not right now, but today I’ve done a lot. Almost done!
Instrux! Cool! Send them in!
Chewy14
Hey Tom, I have the first three books(have not seen the others.) but I was wondering if there was a way you could sign one of them. If so that would be super stooky! Thanks,Chewy14.
TomAngleberger
Hopefully, I’ll run into you at a book event some day and then I’ll be happy to sign all 3!
Chewy14
Are you coming to Idaho any time soon?
LegoGabe
Hey Tom are you going to post pictures of the window display in New York?
ObiDrawn

Will

TomAngleberger
Yep! Right!
luluthejedi
“the noise was like a sonic boom, nobody had heard one in centuries, a pink streak painted on the sky, she landed, in the middle of a battle on hoth, a sword on her back, her dragon wings shined in the sun, she looked up, her eyes were dragon, but which side was she on? the sith, or the jedi? she stood up, the battle was at a stand still, she was no more than 11, she flapped her dragon wings a few times, the droids, were blown away! she looked at the jedis, “who are you?” asked lulu.” a little from a story I am writeing, lulu of hoth
StookyJediFolder123
great sounding story! that sounds like a very interesting book i would definitely read!!
luluthejedi
its the first paragraph
ObiDrawn
the Jedi should clone her!
luluthejedi
that wouldn’t work, many have tried, none have succeeded, for her dragon side is too strong, to tied to the dark ages, it only aangers her, many have gotten nearly killed, for she is to skilled to kill anyone she doesn’t want to die, but will nearly kill anyone, who hurts her, but the people who clone her had no idea what they were doing, and lulu knew that.
luluthejedi
plus, you would have to train them like lulu was trained, and she is part of a tribe, the last to be exact, they trained warriors from age one!
luluthejedi
“she dodged the battle droid’s lasers, but she couldn’t keep doing it for much longer, she ran as fast as she could, then, a shadow fell over her! one with four arms! “so this is the dragoni girl, how pitful, not even a padowan by now? take this! dragoni scum!” said general grievous, as he swung a lightsaber at lulu! ” so we meet again, grievous, my training is powe…. ARGH! THE PAIN!” yelled lulu, for grievous had cut her wing! “leave the girl alone, grievous!” said anikan skywalker.” the start of chapter nine.
luluthejedi
here and there I will post bits and pieces of lulu’s story, oh, and FYI she becomes a padowan in chapter 11
TomAngleberger
Wow, a whole book right here in the comments.
SF_CJ
EPIC STORY! More please!
DrawaMaster
Whats the R2D2 submit thing do anyway?
luluthejedi

TomAngleberger

AustinC

luluthejedi

OZIGAMI
TOTAL ROCKETS!
TomAngleberger

Peach
Yes! Finally! Someone else hates “Party in the USA!”
Brandon11
