UserSFGrant
Tom when you answered my question about the council you didn’t really answer it is it a yes or a no? Not to be rude.
TomAngleberger
Well, the answer to EVERYBODY right now is “no.”
When the next book is coming out, we’ll see what’s going on…
SF_CJ
Hi Mr. Angleberger! Will anyone wield Origami Sarlicious Crumb (or Sarlicious Crumple) in the OY Book 5? He would probably work alongside Mr. Howell.
TomAngleberger
I don’t think so…
TomAngleberger
What I mean is… I don’t think he will be in the book. Your idea is a good one, though.
SF_CJ
Thank you!
ObiDrawn
will there be a sequel to FAKE MUSTACHE ?
TomAngleberger
Doesn’t look like it right now… maybe some day. Thanks for asking though!
ObiDrawn
Hey Tom,will there be a graphic novel version about origami yoda?
TomAngleberger
I would LOVE that! We’ll see…
MeganPhred

jabbazpuppet
Could the next book be about Foldy-wan kenoby.
TomAngleberger
He’ll be a big part of it whether he’s the cover star or not…
crazySarah
Qui Gami Jin? [Qui Gon]
yoda072004

yoda072004
Hi tom I wish I can get book 5 but I am in Flordia its not coming.but can you send me one plz.
TomAngleberger
It should definitely be in Florida now. Technically it’s book 4, since Art2 doesn’t count.
PaperGraham

TomAngleberger
Your grandfather is AWESOME!!!
SkyYODA_28
Hey Tom I was wondering where to get the new Jabba book because if I can’t get it from anywhere else ill have to wait until my school has a book fair which isn’t until the middle of the year
TomAngleberger
You can get it almost anywhere!
sf_sith_lord

GGYoda

GGYoda

TomAngleberger
A lot of it is real stuff Star Wars origami.
AustinC
Can I be in one of the books? Like, maybe be Dwight’s dog that left or Sara’s older brother or something?
TomAngleberger
Okay, you’re officially Rabbski’s mom’s podiatrist.

Hi Mr. Angleberger! Me and my brother, Alex are huge fans of origami yoda! I just got The surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett! It is going to be the beat one, I can tell! You are probably my favorite author ever! Keep up the awesome work!
TomAngleberger
Thanks Slappy and Alex! I appreciate that!
Laith
Hey Tom! Why every time I send my origami,it never shows up?
SkyYODA_28
Cuz they have so many photos
TomAngleberger
Yes, there were a lot of photos submitted the first few days. We’re still working through them. But that’s good news, because they are so stooky!
sf_obi_wan
why did you choose yoda as your first fingerpuppet
TomAngleberger
Well, I made an Origami Yoda because I’m a big Star Wars fan. Only after I had made the puppet did I get the idea for the book.
FoldyWanKenobi

TomAngleberger
Can’t say for sure…. Shouldn;t be long….
FoldyWanKenobi

TomAngleberger
The Kawahata Yoda!
SkyYODA_28
I made a Kawahata yoda but it wasn’t the best I was going to send it in but I can’t find it
Zacharosorigami
what size of paper did u use for darth paper (cover version), and art two)?
please reply
gears
i think both 1\4 of a paper
ObiDrawn
1/2 for DP I think
luluthejedi
the cover version and the art2 are the same one people!
darth paper has intrux for a ten fold DP but in art2 Harvey reveals how to make DP
Magicman
and uses 1 whole sheet.
TomAngleberger
If you’re having trouble, try a 5×7 or even a 4×7.
Isabella

Hey Tom! are we allowed to make contests? also, i asked you a few questions earlier, but you only answered a few. here they are again: Do you actually have a version of all the puppets mentioned in Jabba? If not, which ones? Finally, if you do have physical copies of the puppets can you please try to make instructions? Thanks a ton!
TomAngleberger
We need to figure out something new for the contests.
The new site has a policy against SFs posting their email addresses in the comments…
yoda072004
I agreed.
ObiDrawn
I’ll put it again:How does Dwight know about sesame street?
itai1234
on what book?
luluthejedi
jabba the puppet, itai, and I think I now, he watches it obidrawn
ObiDrawn
But in FW or OY he says he’s not allowed to watch TV!
luluthejedi
I forgot his parent don’t let him watch tv, BUT theres a big but, he has a computer! he can watch it on youtube!
TomAngleberger
This is a really good question….
I’m sure there is a really good answer.
Zacharosorigami
hey Tom, is mace two pieces of paper?
i mean is his head separate from the body or something?
TomAngleberger
Mace’s robe is a separate piece of paper.
luluthejedi
