Hi SFs!
We’re starting a new Talk To Tom page since the other one is full up. (Read the old one by clicking on TALK TO TOM.)
I am trying to answer every question! Just ask your question (or whatever you’d like to tell me) in the comments.
BUT FIRST… read these questions and answers:
The next book? Comes out Spring 2014. Title and cover star are top secret.
Can you be in it? I wish everybody could be in it. But the answer is, “no,” I’m afraid.
Can we get a search box? WebBuilder Gordon is working on that.
AND THE MOST ASKED QUESTION…
WHY HASN’T MY SUBMISSION POSTED YET?
I am THRILLED that there are over 500 submission to the new site already. But I’m sure you can see why WB Sam doesn’t put them all up at once. Your origami would be buried! So just be patient, we’re doing about 15 a day.
Any OTHER questions?
Sf_Spy_Rise
So, I’m going to post some Rebel Characters: Padme, Anakin, Foldy-Wan, Kit Fisto, Mace Windu, and C-3po. I am going to include instrux for 1 and put the rest of the instrux in separate posts. Reply which you want first. By tomorrow, if no one commented, I’ll just post Kit instrux since I said I would post them soon.
Sf_Spy_Rise
Alright, I’ll post Kit first.

SF_Pi
Hey Tom, was Pad-me and Mace made from origami paper or printed paper?
TomAngleberger
origami paper
UserSFGrant
Tom I have two questions
1. Did you make kirigami up because its not in the dictionary and u asked a origami master
2. Is Jacob Cornilius (the kid who signed the pention to keep Dwight) in OY5 if not you should add him give him a brother named Grant Cornilius please it has a nice ring to so does the Cornilius brothers.
TomAngleberger
Jacob Cornelius — the kid no one at McQuarrie actually knows!
Kirigami is a real word. A real Japanese word!
SF_Pi
Hey Tom, is Padme made from a square or rectangle?
TomAngleberger
Whew… not sure…
Bruce110
Hey Tom!
i have a question for you: how do you fold Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, and Luke Skyfolder from the book Jabba the puppett?
Thanks,
Bruce
TomAngleberger
That’s the challenge…. for you and the other SuperFolders to figure it out!
yoda564
Check the how to fold section for mace windu he’s at the bottom of the screen.
Tyler
Hey Sf’s! Im completely out of ideas of what to fold. Name, like, 10 Star Wars character in the comments and I’ll see if there are any i havent folded and would like to.
Bruce110

SuperFolder_Zod

You know, from episode 2, the guy who obi wan asks about the dart that killed Sam wessell.
Jaimini
How much longer will it take you to make a search bar on you website?
TomAngleberger

Jaimini
What does that mean??!!
<{^_^}>

Chewy14
Tom is sick of hearing this question!!
odeyoda

SuperFolder_Zod
Tom have you seen my General Grievous yet? I posted it yesterday.
SuperFolder_Zod
Also, my stooky design for Jabba requires double-sided paper, but the only paper I have is white on one side, and colored on the other. Any advice?
SF_Pi
Useful construction paper is. Cut 7 in. By 7 in. to get standard square origami paper you must.
SuperFolder_Zod
Construction paper is too thick for Jabba, it doesn’t have the right colors, the standard is actually 6″x 6″, and I need a rectangle anyway!
SF_Pi
If your talking about the real jabba, the paper is at a. C. Moores
yoda564
People,people here is a public service note,Tom dosen’t have 8 hands!He can’t get all of you’re posts online at the same time so chill out people!
Liam
Should I send in a picture of my imperial guards?
SuperFolder_Zod
Yes
Liam
Ok they are my own design?
TomAngleberger
Yes!
SF_Prime
Hey Tom could I get some advice I am starting my first year of middle school and I go to a school just like tippet academy and I am basically leaning 7th grade stuff in sixth grade so do you have any tips for me? Thanks!
Will
don’t be snotty about it
SF_Prime
I wasn’t trying to be.
TomAngleberger
If your classes aren’t challenging you then you must challege yourself! Read some Lloyd Alexander, learn to juggle, that sort of thing…
SF_Prime

Tom, a couple days ago I suggested that you make a chapter called “revenge of the BLC” you said you loved the idea. Are you possibly going to put it in book 5 or 6?
Liam
Yeah are you?
TomAngleberger
I haven’t found a spot for it yet…. stay tuned!
GeneralKirigamous
How do you fold an origami
Mace Windu? Or Kit Fisto.
Thanks very much!
TomAngleberger
That’s the challenge! TYou have to figure those out yourself…. or use some of the instrux made by SFs….
Zacharosorigami
Tom when does the contest for instructions end??? because i really want to send in mine
TomAngleberger
I am not running any contsts right now. You can send in instrux any time!
OZIGAMI

Tom, I’m working on a new story. Plot line is secret, but I’ll just show some details:
Title: Hunter
Subject: Star Wars
Time area: between episode 5 and 6
Chewy14
Sounds Stooky!!!
Sf_Spy_Rise
Hunter Sneak Peek #1: the main character!
Name: Secret…. For now.
Species: (A new one) Theelian.
Abilities: Healing and superhuman accuracy.
Story: This character is found by a rescue team on Hoth. He saves one from a wampa. This character landed there with no recollection of who he was and where he came from. He remembers just one word from his past: Hunter. He has a huge scar over one eye.
Rest of story: Secret!
luluthejedi
nice, kinda like the story im writeing, go to the old talk to tom, you will see the start of chapter one, the chapter nine
TomAngleberger
Sounds great!
Sf_Spy_Rise
|[] []|Thx! (Gizmo)
Sf_Spy_Rise
Hunter Sneak Peek #2: Synopsis!!!!
One day, on the frigid planet of Hoth, a human was found. He had saved his rescuer from a Wampa, but says he doesn’t have any remembrance of his past, but he knows one word. And if he is Theelian, it’s trouble for us. For that word……. Is Hunter.
Sf_Spy_Rise
Last Hunter sneak peek!
Main Character’s name!
I bet you’ve figured it out by now………
Name (or what he now calls himself):
Hunter
luluthejedi
what does a theelian look like? a human?
Sf_Spy_Rise
Yeah.
SF_Pi
And lastly(for tonight[probably]) have you ever played megaman battle network 3-6? Stookiest x Mega Unspugly x unnosssstrul game ever!
TomAngleberger
Never played MegaMan. I do not like platformers…
SF_Pi
Also, why it called Art2 in the activity book, but r2 in Jabba?
Will
cause Art2 is kellens puppet instaed of amys
TomAngleberger
Either that, or some kids just got lazy when writing the casefile…
SF_Pi
Also Where did you get the dark blue paper for Art2?
SF_Pi
Hey Tom, where do you usually get Origami Paper? And what company makes it? Like Aitoh or whatever.
TomAngleberger
I get paper at my local art store and sometimes from Michaels or AC Moore.
I once ordered a pack of 100 different colors off the internet, so now I have whatever color I need!
Liam
Tom I have two questions 1. If I send you a letter how long do you think it would take to get a letter back? 2. Are you the one who illustrates the books.
P.S. I got the same pen used for the illustrations in Origami yoda, It awesome!
TomAngleberger
1. 6 months?
2. Yes.
sfGid
