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!
