izzebacon2

I don’t do instagram, but it looks like fun.

Kit_Fisto


Why dont you have a search bar.

TomAngleberger


We NEED one! I’ll ask WB Sam!

SkyYODA_28


MY COVER YODA RIPPED AND I DON’T HAVE ANY MORE ORIGAMI PAPER!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO

SF_Gavin


I would try looking at a craft store for good origami paper that would be the right colors. Hope this helps!

SkyYODA_28


Thnx

TomAngleberger


Good luck folding a new one!

Oridomi


Hi Tom! I tried sending a pic of my cover Yoda and checked “Superfolder Stookiness” a few days later. My friend’s origami was up, but mine wasn’t. Is Webmaster Sam cutting a few of the pictures that are submited? If you could respond, that would be great. Thanks!

TomAngleberger


There have been 200 submission already, so things are CRAZY!

The only submissions Sam is cutting are duplicates and ones that have people in them. The new rule is NO ACTUAL PEOPLE.

SF_Gavin


Will we be able to mail in for the trading cards like we did for the fortune wookiee paper?

TomAngleberger


I’m afraid not…. SORRY! (The Fortune Wookiee paper thing turned into a huge mess!)

Oridomi


I think the cover star for the next book will be a GONK Droid!

TomAngleberger


Great idea!

SWFMax


Tom, when I sent in my Origami 11th Doctor photo, it had my leg in it. You said no people in photos except for hands. Will that be a problem? Should I resend it?

TomAngleberger


Er…. as long as we can’t recognize the leg it should be okay!

SWFMax


OK! 😀

Tyler


Hey Tom! Could try to ask Webmaster Sam and the other website people to add a search bar like on the old site? Thanks!

Tyler


Forgot to mention: could you also try to add the ability to add more than one photo to a post?

TomAngleberger


These are both great ideas!

Viczoid


YOUR JABBA PUPPET IS AWSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!

TomAngleberger


Thanks!!!!

ILuvOrigamiYoda


<[••]> <----------Yoda txt symbol lol!

TomAngleberger


That’s cool!

SF_Cau2134


Hey Tom, I was reading the first chapter of The Qwikpick Adventure Society on Amazon, and is that your typewriter in the picture? ‘Cause I have a typewriter too and I think it is Stooky! (Mine is not electric though.)

TomAngleberger


Sounds cool! I’ve had various typewriters, but that one was actually at the newspaper where I used to work.

sfaiden


Hey Tom I saw you in tx during the r2 tour (I was the one in a oy t shirt) now I’ve drove 4 hours to from Ohio(I was visiting my grandparents) to see you in cincy!!

<[-_-]>

TomAngleberger


It was awesome to see you again!!!!

SuperfolderJaymel


One more thing. When will kellen and Dwight make more origami instrux

TomAngleberger


Did you see Salacious Crumb instrucitons?

jay


where did you get that cool minimulin falcon

TomAngleberger


I have a lot of the original Kenner toys in my collection. Very few are in mint condition though, I like to take them out of the packages!

SuperfolderJaymel


Also mace windu

Will


If you look at the mace in Art-2 (he’s on the lightsaber page) he’s really easy and looks stooky. (he’s also very sturdy for duels)

TomAngleberger


Mace is great for finger dueling!

SuperfolderJaymel


Tom, how do you fold Mara jade, kit fisto, obi wan, sy snootles, Asajj Ventress, padme, and Luke skywalker

ILuvOrigamiYoda


I know how to do some of those!

TomAngleberger


I think SFs will be posting instrux for those soon. Maybe you can figure some out!

Shelgon


If anyone has old video games and movies lying around you could donate them to children with cancer. Go to www.themadisonchildhoodcancerfoundation.org for info and game and movie requests. Hope I got some people to donate!

SkyYODA_28


Do you put the pictures in the super folder stookiness page??????

TomAngleberger


There should be about 100 pictures there now and more coming all the time!

SkyYODA_28


Hey Tom do u know where I could get some origami paper that are yoda colors???

TomAngleberger


What I use is Xmas wrapping paper from Big Lots. Go look for it as soon as they put out there Xmas stuff… sometimes in October!

Spider55man


Hey Tom i made a cool origami spider-man. But i don’t how to put it in this stooky site

TomAngleberger


Click on the SUBMISSIONS button that has Art2D2 on it….

Spider55man


Okay thanks Tom

Noahv


Tom on the back of the trading cards it said for folding instrux go to origami yoda.wordpress/how to fold but I can’t find it because it said it would have mace and pad-me instrux on there thanks

TomAngleberger


Yikes…. that is a mistake! I’ll have to see what I can do about that….

AustinC


Tom, can I take over on the old OY site?

AustinC


That way the old site will not go to waste.

TomAngleberger


Afraid not…. that site is probably going to be frozen…. make it sort of like a museum….

theMasterFolder


I FINISHED JABBA!!!!!! It was so STOOKY!!!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!!!!

TomAngleberger


Thanks, dude!

lordoftheringsgeek


i havent gotten it yet. but it looks cool!

SWFMax


Can the next book be about a character that isn’t from Star Wars, like the Doctor on Doctor Who (if the BBC allows that)? Or maybe a real person?

TomAngleberger


It would be awesome to do Doctor Who… You could always write your own over at the OY EU!

SWFMax


OK, I will! 😀

SfRoberto


Hey Tom, how many OY books are you planning to write?

TomAngleberger


It’s not exactly clear… but we do know for certain that there will be at least 1 more.

StookyMaster


only 1 more??? if you do that you will be pikpok pete!!!!!!!!

SfRoberto


actually tyler, I made a luminara but it was destroyed….

By a dog

Tyler


Wow. That sounds… Interesting.

Tyler


Hey sf’s! I have an origami luminara and bariss! The first ever!

TheEvilJawa


Why has JC and Megan been singled out for the “CameoFolders” by that I mean, they’re in the books? Why not, me? Or SuperDoodler CJ? I’m not trying to brag, but we do help a lot and things. And I Co-Created the EU with JC! (Little known fact). And CJ draws all the pictures! And SFs like T@yler, Star Wars Fan Max,

YodaMaster, and BobaFett1212? I know you can’t include EVERYBODY, but I was just wondering.

TomAngleberger


You’re right, EvilJawa….

But I can only add characters where the story allows it.

Otherwise it would be a big list of names.

In this case, the story just sort of called for JC and Megan, just like it called for Jabba and Mace but not Boba Fett.

That doesn’t mean Boba isn’t awesome, it just meant it he didn’t quite fit.

UmHiGuy


Tom put Um, Hi in Fortune Wookie, and I feel like I haven’t really done anything to merit that.

Spider55man


Hey Tom i ordered the surprise attack of jabba the puppet and i can’t wait to read it!

TomAngleberger


I sure hope you’re going to like it!

Kit_Fisto


im getting it ot teusday

AaronMasterFolder44


I loved the book the surprise attack of Jabba the puppet

TomAngleberger


Thanks! I appreciate that!

Spider55man


This site is super stooky!!!!!!!!!!!

TomAngleberger


Glad you like it! They worked really hard on it and I think they’ve just about got it perfect!

StookyMaster


total rockets!!!

Jango_Fett


Spock or Yoda

SkyYODA_28


Hey Tom I’ve made the perfect yoda and I was wondering how to send you the picture

TomAngleberger


Look for the Art2D2 that says SUBMIT

SF_Gavin


How do you reduce the size of an image that is too big to be submitted?

TomAngleberger


Try googling resize picture. There are websites that will do it for you….

SF_Gavin


Awesome! Thanks for the help. I will be sending in pics shortly.

landenandbrad


Hi, Tom i just met you at hastings in jonesboro, and i’ve just made a super folder account, now that i’ve seen you in person. i’m the guy larry/Bradley who won the picture of Dwight, and my brother larry/Landen aka the boy with the name you guessed and spelled corectly, may the folds be with you.

Bradly and Landen

TomAngleberger


You guys were STOOKY! I’m so glad you came!

LaurenMeyers


i just finished Darth Paper in two days just like I did with Origami Yoda. They were both totaly awesome.

TomAngleberger


Great! I hope you like the rest of the series, too!

SFLandon


Oh I forgot. Will you ever post a picture of the Display in New York? I really want to know if my Yoda made it in time! The version of Jabba the Puppet I got came with trading cards is there a certain way to play with those? Thanks – SF Landon

TomAngleberger


We will have a ton of pictures from that!

SFLandon


When will you post the pictures? I want to know if my Origami Yoda Made it.

SFLandon


Hey Tom! Just got Jabba today and it is awesome but I haven’t finished it yet. So far it is Extra Awesome Total Rockets to the MAX and Fizz Pop Ultra STOOKY x 10! Can’t wait till book 5

TomAngleberger


Thanks, SF Landon!!!!

Noahv


Tom where did the talk about jabba go

TomAngleberger


I don’t know? Did it disappear? I’ll have Sam fish it out!

Owen


I’m not sure if you have plans for this, or accept book ideas, but you HAVE to give instructions for all the new and AWESOME origami from Jabba the Puppett. Also (this going along with the new origami) their could be a second activity book,which this time being C-3PO’s calculations on origami and drawing. Using calculations, origami and drawing instead of guide, folding and doodling because of his robotic sense of proper grammar and wood use. Even if you don’t PLEASE put up instructions for the origami in the book

TomAngleberger


That would be cool!

In the meantime, I have a feeling that you and the other SFs are going to figure out way to make all of those characters! So stay tuned to this site as people figure them out!

MisterStookypants


Tom, Jabba was an amazing!!!! I read the whole thing in one day! I knew that ******** (in case someone hasn’t read it or hasn’t got to that part) had Jabba. And the surprise attack was amazing!!! Didn’t see it coming. I thought it was Dwight.

TomAngleberger


Awesome! Glad you liked it! And thanks for not spoilering!

Jango_Fett


Who would win? Han Solo or Captain Kirk

ILuvOrigamiYoda


Han.

Hewhowalkstheskys


It would be a TIE!

Get it? TIE?

Magicman


purple

adamperkins


hey super folders. i have figured out how to make ghost versions of all the characters in the whole series of origami Yoda. i’ll see if i can send you some pictures of them.

Jango_Fett


Please do!

landenandbrad


same here

graphicfold


Jabba was amazing! You should definitely keep writing longer books like that one. I’m not talking long like Harry Potter long but just long enough to keep us yearning for more!

TomAngleberger


Okay! I’ll see what I can do!

major66


If you know, how long does it take to get something posted on the website?

TomAngleberger


Right now it’s taking a little while because everyone submitted all at once. Down the road it should take less than 24 hours.

AustinC


Tom,

How much money is TSAOJTP at Target?

TomAngleberger


Probably about 12.95

Sfimakewl
