foldoman
I made a clone with a removeable helmet , so could you make that the cover of the next book Tom
TomAngleberger
I don’t think we’ll have a Clone starring on the cover…. I do like Captain Rex a lot, though!
superfoldermalak
did you send it in yet
SF_Gavin
Has the next cover star been in a previous book?
SuperFolder_Zod
Probably not. But he/she is Force sensitive.
TomAngleberger
Yep, that’s the only clue I can give out right now…
SF_Gavin
That there force sensitive or have been in a previous book?
Oridomi
My money is on Akbar.
yodalover
tom i made a orgami boba fett two really my own instrux i hope hes the next cover star if he is please tell
TomAngleberger
I hope you post it on the site!
7Wonders
do it!
yodalover
tom im woundering did you had darth paper already thought out when orgami yoda came out
TomAngleberger
Nope. I only thought of it, because SFs wanted Darth so bad. Then I realized that making Darth is exactly what Harvey would do next!
Magicman
tom i am writing a book any hints or tips?
TomAngleberger
Have fun! When it isn’t fun, take a break.
I do my best writing while walking….
SF_Pi
? How does that work?
SFRobby
Yeah, the search box doesn’t work. I searched lucky cat and it did the fatal error thing.
TomAngleberger
Thanks for testing it!
SFRobby
Your welcome
LegoGabe
Same here
SFRobby
I’m going to put a Qui Gon up. It looks nice. Can I be in book 5 with him?
SFRobby
Oh and can I have a Deluxe Yoda and be the rebellion’s secretary? I made a story on the EU called the secretary of Origami Yoda.
Austin_awesomeness
Can my drawa(will soon be up)and me be in book 5 also
TomAngleberger
Sounds cool!!! (Can’t put them in the book, though, sorry…)
LegoGabe
I have an idea: on the OY EU those who want to should put up small stories that take place during JtP having them join the rebellion with the puppet of their choice. I’m already thinking about mine: The Origami Yoda Chronicles.
SuperFolder_Zod
Interesting…
odeyoda
Are you ever going to tell how to make/fold the origami in book five?
TomAngleberger
You mean in Jabba (book 4) I think you and the other SFs are going to figure that out. In fact, I think most of them have already been figured out. Just look thru SuperFolder Stookiness!
SF_Pi
Two questions: 1. Do you still send pre-printed Wookiee Paper with Bookmarks?
2. Will you do a thing where you send OY trading cards?
SFRobby
I make Robby trading cards. I’m going to put some on my site.
TomAngleberger
1. Wookiee paper yes, bookmarks no.
2. I don’t have any trading cards to send. In fact I’m not sure that I even have a set for myself!
jawa345
when you go to your conventions do you bring the real OY?
TomAngleberger
Not usually. I keep him safe in my office….
SuperFolder_Zod
COMMENT 300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SuperFolder_Zod
I’ve heard a lot of things about the Art2-D2 guide(it’s the only one I haven’t read). It seems to be like a SuperFolder Bible. Should I buy it SuperFolders?
SuperFolder_Zod
Apparently, in addition to R2, 3PO, EZ Yoda, and the others, there are also instrux for General Grievous, a clone trooper, Darth Maul, and yet another Ewok. Many different people told me these things. The question is: Which are true and which are false? I’M VERY CONFUSED! HELP!
Hewhowalkstheskys
I can answer all of your questions about Art2.
There are instrux for Grievous and a clone trooper. There is no Ewok or Darth Maul. It is like manual for new SFs. You should buy it! It helped me get better at doodling! Its got an intro and epilogue by Tommy, tips for taking pics, little games that you can play with your friends, and a bunch of other stuff. I became a SF after I got Art2. Just buy the book, dude; it is your destiny.
SuperFolder_Zod
OK thx
TomAngleberger
Thanks HeWhoWalks….
Zod, I hope you like it! (You can always test drive it at the library first…)
Origamiseb
hi tom how long does it take to get a photo on this web
odeyoda
one day or few weeks.
TomAngleberger
Currently: 20 days.
SuperFolder_Zod
WHAT?!
Will
Tom, in Jabba you mentioned Roddenberry M.S. Isn’t their someone who worked on Star Wars named Roddenberry?
Will
oh nope that’s from star TREK
Hewhowalkstheskys
Yeah, it’s Star Trek, which I love just as much as Star Wars!
Peach
Yes, I do believe that is the logical explanation for this, Captain.

@Peach: Quite. (Notices water glass teetering precariously on a stack of books near origami USS Enterprise and moves water glass way)
Ship… out… of danger.
TomAngleberger
Yep! Gene Rodenberry created Star Trek…
Just imagine, there might be a whole school full of kids with Star Trek puppets…
Peach
Oh my gosh! I made the Enterprise-D and a kid at school the next day brought an origami Spock! Ears and everything!
Hewhowalkstheskys
I made the main cast (i.e. Spock (ears and everything), Kirk, Scotty, Bones, Chekov, Uhura, etc.) a while ago and posted it on the old site. I might post it here next…
SFRockHopper
My cousin has a physics teacher named Mr. Stuki! Pronounced just like stooky!
SuperFolder_Zod
That’s so stuki!!! <(-_-)>
TomAngleberger
That is so…. plastic Waffles!!!!
(Did you know my gym teacher was named Mr. PlasticWaffles?)
SFRockHopper
Why is the search box not working?
SuperFolder_Zod
Good question. But it is experimental, after all…
Tyler
Hey Tom! I think i’ve asked you before, but how many pieces of paper is Padmé? What size(s) did you use? Thanks! -SF Tyler
<[-_-}> :::::::========
/ \ May the Folds Be With You!
TomAngleberger
I think there are 4 separate pieces.
Most of the puppet is 1 piece. 2 gold hair bars. And her face is drawn on a separate piece and tucked into the right place… but that is not 100% necessary.
Tyler
Hey SF’s! Once again, I’m out of ideas of what to make. My Origami collection now contains about 70 puppets and most (if not all) of them are as good as the ones i’ve posted on the site so far. Any Ideas? Think outside of the normal cast of characters!
darkheart17
Dengar, quI-gon, sebulba, and watto
SuperFolder_Zod
Buzz droid, Boga, Mawhonic, Geonosian warrior, Zam Wesell, dwarf spider droid, droideka, Owen Lars, treadwell droid, Imperial officer, dianoga, Tie pilot, MSE-6 droid, Lobot, Rebel soldier, B’omarr monk, pit droid. (BTW, did you use all my suggestions from before?)
Tyler
Thanks so much Zod! And Yes, I did. Anyone else?
Hewhowalkstheskys
Hmm…
Here’re some clones: Kix, Hardcase, Dogma, Droidbait, Cutup, Jesse, Waxer, and Boil.
And maybe you could do Numa. And Beru Lars (EU characters start now), Ben Skywalker, Grand Admiral Thrawn R2-Q5, Lumiya, Annileen Calwell, Borsk Fey’lya (EU ends here), Bail Organa, and I don’t have anymore suggestions.
SuperFolder_Zod
Wow.
SuperFolder_Zod
Did you make an Ugnaught? Because I had an experimental design for one, but I lost it and I need Ugnaught ideas.(Ugnaught was on my previous list, BTW.)
Hewhowalkstheskys
@Zod: Wow what?
Tyler
Whoah. Amazing! I can’t do annileen Calwell because I don’t have a picture reference, and droidbait is just a regular clone, so not him either. The others, however, I will get to work on right away! Thanks a ton!
Hewhowalkstheskys
You’re welcome!
TomAngleberger
What a list!!!!!
Here’s what I like to do: Browse the DK character encyclopedia!
SuperFolder_Zod
me too
ProFoldz
Same, but mine is the lego star wars version. still works though, and its basically 2-d so it helps m drawn the details
SuperFolder_Zod
that’s what I meant; the Lego version
Chewy14
I have the lego encyclopedia and I think you should do a Saesee Tiin.
SFRobby
I might make an origami rebellion at my school, because the history teachers grade us on notes. We can barely even do the notes because we have so much math homework. I asked my friend if he absolutely hated Cornell notes and wanted them off the face of the earth and he said yes. Everyone in the school hates them so it might not be that hard.
TomAngleberger
That seems like a dangerous path to me!
SF_Pi
What does Fatal error: Call to undefined function relevanssi_do_query() in /nfs/c08/h04/mnt/171209/domains/origamiyoda.com/html/wp-content/themes/origami_1.0/search.php on line 25 mean in the experimental search box?
SuperFolder_Zod
Translation: It doesn’t work.
TomAngleberger
Thanks, C3PZod!
odeyoda
you finally made the search box!!! 🙂 But it kind of works bad:(
TomAngleberger
Mynocks!
Francisyodaguy
How do you fold the cover yoda, anyone?
SuperFolder_Zod
Look on YouTube.
TomAngleberger
Yep!
odeyoda
It sais that I can’t put in a file larger then 2mb. So I can’t post video
TomAngleberger
Post video to Youtube… post link on this site.
goldninjafan
hey tom i’m in sixth grade and me and my friend made an arm of origami clones and we give them to people for our army
TomAngleberger
That officially makes you Stooky!
tubesmoove
Hey tom have you ever thought of making a movie or a tv show based on your origami yoda books?
TomAngleberger
Only about a MILLION TIMES!
Still waiting on Hollywood to have the same idea…
SFRobby
If I can’t be Dwight, I at least want to be helping with the making.
yodalover
that would be the best it will be stooky i wish i can be in it i would like to be tommy
LegoGabe
Technically I’m doing what Hollywood is slacking on there, so check my/my dad’s YouTube channel Legoman4223 because episode 1 is coming soon!
Chewy14
If I can be in it I would like to be Quavondo!!!
tubesmoove
I got a question why is there a strict policy about faces in the pictures?
TomAngleberger
To protect your privacy!
You should never post your photo, full name or address ANYWHERE on the internet.
SFRobby
Unless there’s a murderer in your house and he is going to kill you unless you post it.
Peach
^Don’t comment stuff like that.
Origamiseb
Hi I’m new to this web site ????
TomAngleberger
Welcome aboard!
Chewy14
Hello and welcome to the Origami Yoda website!!
Kirk_a_gami
Hey Tom how long does it take for post’ to load
TomAngleberger
The posts are still rolling in faster than we can get them online…
Kirk_a_gami
Post the instructions
Kirk_a_gami
Hey Tom, NOBODY (well at least me) cares if the C3PO you make is cheap and sloppy,but can you PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
TomAngleberger
I think the instrux in Art2D2 are close enough. You can finddle with it a bit more to get a few of those details…
odeyoda
How can you post a video? And are you going to make the jabba the puppet instruction, kit fisto, foldi one kenoni, and mace windu instruction in one of your books? Like you did the darth paper in the R2-D2 book? Please make another how to book. I made up some things that you can put in. Like a pen gun and an impossible cursive… If you tell me where I can sent some things I made I will do that.
TomAngleberger
Those sound really cool!
I’d like to make another R2 type book, but there are no plans for one yet…
We’ll definitely have more instructions in the next book… not sure who yet….
If you want to post a video that you have already put on Youtube, then upload a PHOTO to this site and put the YOUTUBE LINK in the description area…
Magicman
guys i have narrowed it down to 5 characters as the cover star!
1:foidy-wan
2:luke skypaper
3:kit fisto
4:anakin skypaper
and 5:mace foldu!
TomAngleberger
Very good guesses!!!!
Magicman
actually 6 cuz of ventres
SuperFolderMax5
Tom when will my latest post come
jawa345
hey tom, can you post origami instux for cover jabba?
TomAngleberger
Cover Jabba is the same as in the book, but with an extra set of pleats EXACTLY like the mouth, but right above the mouth. These are then shaped into the eyes,..
RexMaximus
I read “about tom”. very good choice of pen!
TomAngleberger
Thanks! They are the BEST!
Obi_Wan
Which Origami Yoda book is your favorite?
TomAngleberger
Pretty hard to say…. I think they are all part of one BIGBOOK in a way. Does that make sense?
Obi_Wan
Yes.
XRathHAWK58
Hey Tom, do you know how to make Foldy-wan Kenobi?
TomAngleberger
Mostly, mine still needs a little work…
Hewhowalkstheskys
ME to!
odeyoda
Hi will you write the books about high school? With Dwight and all the other guys?
TomAngleberger
No. That’s one thing I’m certain of. No High School!
SuperFolder_Zod
I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s been over a week since I submitted my origami, and it’s not up! (Sorry Tom!)
SuperFolder_Zod
The last comment was comment 200!
ilsw7328
hey tom i love your work and now soon i will buy one of your books 😀
by the way love the puppets
also the online ad is how i found this sight
TomAngleberger
Stooky!!!!! I’m glad you found us!
ilsw7328
thanks steve p.s. what is stooky?
ilsw7328
sorry wrong site i ment tom
also you should make a book with grivous or jango or maybe even darth maul
SF_Pi
Also Lance wasn’t told to check the C-3PO instrux in the art2 case file, he made the one yu said was sneaky, right?
TomAngleberger
No, I think Amy probably folded the one from the casefile for him. Lance isn’t a very good folder. (Sloppy)
SF_Pi
What colors did Amy draw on her R2?
TomAngleberger
Blue, black, tiny bit of red
Kit_Fisto
Tom are u going to put Peach’s Foldy Wan instrx on how to fold
SuperFolder_Zod
Yeah, you should.
TomAngleberger
Did you add it to the post of all-time best instrux?
SuperFolder_Zod
So that’s how it works! Thanks Tom!
Peach
Oh wow thanks guys! 😀
SuperFolder_Zod
No prob
SFRobby
Did anyone read my comment about using the old site for discussion?
TomAngleberger
I did!
Sf_Spy_Rise
Tom, when my cover R2 instrux are up, can you put them on how to fold if they’re good?
TomAngleberger
Yes, if people vote for them by adding them to the All-time best post.
SF_Jack
Tom is pad me the cover star of the next book.
SFRobby
She was in the last one. Why would she be the next character?
SuperFolder_Zod
You think just like me, SFRobby! Many people think it will be Princess Leia, but I think it will be someone we haven’t thought of yet…
crazySarah
I think probably Qui-Gami-Jin
XRathHAWK58
No, its got to be Pad-me! It even shows in the trading cards! Its all in order!
1.Origami Yoda
2.Darth Paper
3.Fortune Wookie and Han Foldo
4. Art2-D2
5. Jabba the Puppet
6.Queen Amadalla (sorry don’t know how to spell her name)
7. Finally, Mace Windu!!!!
SuperFolder_Zod
Not necessarily. Tom may have hinted at Emperor Papertine being the star of book 6 or 7. I pay careful attention to what he says here. <(-_-)>
TomAngleberger
I love to hear your theories! But I can’t say yet…
Hewhowalkstheskys
I actually think that the next cover star is Foldy-Wan Kenobi. With the trading cards, if you line them up in order and flip them to their backs, the faint letters spell the word “ALLIANCE”. It’s definately not Papertine, because that’s supposedly non-canon, as far as the case files go. But in essence, Papertine is canon, but I think that it interferes with the Darth Paper-Fortune Wookie story-line connection, or something like it.
Will
Tom has said earlier that the star is force sensitive…so no pad-me.
SuperFolder_Zod
OH YEAH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
XRathHAWK58
Hey Tom, remember in your book The Surprise attack of the Jabba the puppet where Harvey replies to Kellen’s story about the spelling bee disaster “Kellen, don’t worry, I’m not going to say anything nasty this time, because I have been in a similar situation myself and its really…. nostruls.” Who does Harvey have a crush on?
XRathHAWK58
I REALLY WANT TO KNOW!!! Hey guys, who do u think Harvey likes? ANYBODY!
sfecho
i think he secretly likes Sara.
SFRobby
In an EU story, he has a crush on a girl named isabella
XRathHAWK58
Who’s Isabella?
TomAngleberger
I think SF Echo has been reading the books very closely!
SuperFolder_Zod
Knew it
SF_Pi
I posted my evidence on a previous Talk to Tom post. Including Harvey’s comment in the chapter about the trap.
XRathHAWK58
OMG!! I HAD A FEELING DAT HE LIKED SARAH!!! 😀
Will
ya i think so too
CooperCarrier911
I think it’s Sara because of the evidence SF_Pi pointed out
SF_Dan
it could be jen, when you read the darth paper book, when jen comes over, he automatically asks if she wants some advice, also why and how would harvey have jens number?
Stooky_Jawa
Hi Tom what origami characters have you made and which one is your favorite?
TomAngleberger
Well, OY of course. Jabba is also a favorite.
My stormtrooper took so many tries to get right, that I”m very proud of it.
XRathHAWK58
Hey Tom, when are you going to make a Darth Maul’s Origami?
TomAngleberger
I think I just posted one a few days ago!
