SFRobby
Where is GFF Max? He hasn’t made his account yet.
TomAngleberger
I guess not…
SF_Dan
Tom, for the pullout origami paper, would you fold it like it is, or in quarters? Also, do you know any stooky origami paper companies?. Thx
TomAngleberger
Like it is…
Aren’t all origami paper companies stooky?
SF_Dan
Well I meant which is you favourite one?
sfninja811
Tom, my friend caleb has been signing up for a superfolder account and didnt get the email 3 times. do you know why it isnt working?
TomAngleberger
How long has he been waiting? it takes two days to get the email. (This is a change from when the site first started…)
XRathHAWK58
Well, I got my email right away after I registered!
SuperFolder_Zod
Yeah, me too!
sfninja811

han101
hey tom can you make Luke Skywalker
TomAngleberger
Yep!
AustinC
Tom,
Can I pick Dwight’s middle name?
SFRobby
I did that in the OY ghost story on the EU. It’s Robert.
TomAngleberger
Yep…. I think Murky is the only other character whose middle name has been set…
AustinC
And Sara’s! JC picked Dorothy!
SFRockHopper
I think Tommy’s middle name should be Angleberger, for obvious reasons.
SFRockHopper
Can I choose a character’s middle name?
SF_Pi
Does Amy’s R2 have the thing that shortens the body and makes the legs longer like art2 on the cover of Art2’s guide?
TomAngleberger
No
odeyoda
Don’t you want to become an jedi master in orighami?
TomAngleberger
I’d like to…. but I doubt I could. Plus I have so much fun making Doodle-Gami!
SuperFolder_Zod
I grew up with Jedi master origami, even though I’m not Japanese or anything. Then I came across Doodle-gami, and I was hooked. However, I still make other stuff. Yesterday, I made Shu Sugamata’s Millennium Falcon!
SuperFolder_Zod
I wonder if someone could make a good battle droid… How about a contest? Whoever posts the best origami battle droid wins! Reply if you like this idea!
Dwight_PaperwadYoda
This is So Plastic Dinosaurs.
TomAngleberger
Origami Battle Droid is hard! Head so big, body so skinny!
Will
i cannot make one
SF_Pi
Hey, what are some differences between Amy’s and Kellen’s R2s?
SuperFolder_Zod
I’m not sure if Kellen even made an R2.
TomAngleberger
Just to be clear…
Dwight made the Art2D2 on the cover of Art2D2.
Amy used the instructions in the Art2D2 casefile to make her R2D2.
SuperFolder_Zod
I just made an origami stormtrooper. It is similar in design to both my snot trooper and Tom’s stormtrooper(thanks Tom). It has a helmet and body, which is pretty much a rectangle, like the snot trooper. I also have a clone version, which is just drawn differently and is only a helmet. Reply if you want me to post them!
Dwight_PaperwadYoda
post it!
SuperFolder_Zod
OK
TomAngleberger
Absolutely!
XRathHAWK58
I MADE A SNOT TROOPER so easy to make! MAKE A SNOW TROOPER THEN SNEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA
7Wonders
what is your fav. video game? but don’t say star wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TomAngleberger
Actually, the old stand up Star Wars arcade game is an all-time favorite.
Final Fantasy Tactics is probably my alltime favorite. It’s a classic playstation game that is now available on the ipad.
7Wonders
thanks tom
7Wonders

7Wonders

Dwight_PaperwadYoda

TomAngleberger
Wait a minute:
Jabba is book 4
Book 5 comes out Spring 2014
Book 6 …. the future, always in motion it is
XRathHAWK58
wait super how do u know?? Do you know what the next book could be? I’m thinking Pad-me because of the exclusive trading cards!
SFRobby
Guys, how about we use the old site as just a discussion thing? There’s no sf talk zone on here, and I like to see the gravitars, so we can just talk and look at archives on the old site.
TomAngleberger
Sure, do that as long as the old site lasts…. good idea…
StookyCuts

jawa345

CooperCarrier911

bobdiggidy

SuperFolder_Zod

TomAngleberger
Try starting with the universal puppet from Art2D2
Stooky_Jawa
Tom does book 5 or 6 have any jawas? Also who gave you the idea of Origami Yoda?
bobdiggidy
my friend said he was going to make me one stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooookie
TomAngleberger
No Jawas that I know of.
I was inspired by Fumiaki Kawahata’s Origami Yoda
Ewok_frenzy

XRathHAWK58

Will

Kit_Fisto
First day of school 5th grade
Any Advice?
TomAngleberger
Don’t eat a pizza boat.
SuperFolder_Zod
I remember 5th grade. It is sorta hard, and very eccentric. You might have more friends all of a sudden, then not as many. Avoid pizza boats and lunchroom calzones. A friend of mine nearly barfed just looking at one of those. Good luck, and may the Force be with you.<(-_-)>
SuperFolder_Zod
P.S. That was my Fortune Wookiee’s advice, if it helps.
7Wonders
rrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaa! thats my wookie voice
XRathHAWK58
WUGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LegoGabe
I’m in seventh grade, so my cover Yoda can give advice for 5,6, and 7th grade.
5: The teacher’s friend, you must become. Guide you through perils, they will.
My note: I think he means State Standards testing.
6: Forget your homework do not, like some people do.
My note: Hey!
7: In shape, you must be. Run all over the school, you might, hmmmm?
My note: Easy for him to say.
I hope this helped!
SFteamroker
Whatever you do, DO NOT PANIC ABOUT FIFTH GRADE You should really only worry about middle school. 5th grade is super easy if you actually listen.
Hewhowalkstheskys
Foldy-Wan: Oh goodness. Fifth Grade. One more step until you reach the—
ME: Be quiet Foldy, I’m tryring to give advice here!
I’m in Seventh Grade as well, like LegoGabe up there. So…
1) Be nice to people.
2) STAY OUT OF FRIEND ARGUMENTS! THEY CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE AND GET YOU SENT TO THE PRINCIPAL/SCHOOL COUNSELOR! NOT FUN!!
3) Do your homework and your make-up work. I learned that lesson the hard way…
4) Pay discreet attention to everything. You can get good information that way AND it’ll help you on your Standards Test Thingys (I go to a private school, so I don’t have SSTs)
Good luck, and MTFBWY!
Kirk_a_gami
hey Tom do you like the idea of emperor papertine for the next book
TomAngleberger
I like it… but he’s not going to be the star/ At least not of the NEXT book…
7Wonders

crazySarah
I found a wonder horse at my church! It was this rocking horse sort of thing, and on the side it said Wonder Horse.
TomAngleberger
WOW! Now that’s cool!!!
7Wonders

SuperFolder_Zod
It’s from Fake Mustache.
CooperCarrier911
I read fake mustache. It’s stooky
7Wonders
oh yeah
SuperFolder_Zod
Tom, if I post good enough instructions for my snot trooper, will you put them on the How to Fold page?
ProFoldz
Lol, zod, im not laughing at you, but I love how you called it a snot trooper xD
SuperFolder_Zod
thx
TomAngleberger
Why not?
SuperFolder_Zod
Hooray!
7Wonders
get out your booger blasters!
SF_Pi
Will you post a pic of your Foldy-wan?
TomAngleberger
I’m hoping to make improvements first…
7Wonders
doooo it!
Hewhowalkstheskys
Yes, Mr. Tom, PLEASE post your Foldy after it’s done!
superfolderfrancis
Wait, book six? (I did finsh jabba book)
TomAngleberger
Jabba = 4
Book coming out this spring = 5
AustinC
Tom, remember the book festival when I gave you that Origami Tom? Could you take a picture of it and post it in Superfolder Stookiness?
TomAngleberger
Yeah, I want to do that!
odeyoda
Are you really a padawan in origami?
TomAngleberger
Yes…
SFRobby
I found the real Jabba paper (Its not bubble wrap guys) I got it a michals (I don’t think I spelt that write) I haven’t folded it yet. I’m still testing on regular paper.
Tom, did you use the whole square, or did you cut it? If you cut it, what size did you cut it to?
TomAngleberger
I think a square gives you more room to work with as far as the pleats go.
SuperFolder_Zod
My design uses a 1/4 piece of paper, but it’s kind of small. A rectangle works for me.
Will
i use a whole piece
dguy
dear tom when will book 6 come out i must know wat the rebelion does next
SuperFolder_Zod
spring 2014
TomAngleberger
Explained above… spring 2014 = book 5
superfoldermalak
I JUST MADE A FOLDY-WAN KENOBI! It looks like the one in book 5
TomAngleberger
Awesome!!!
Sf_Spy_Rise
So did I.
Peach
As did I.
SuperFolder_Zod
Does it have a big mustache?
superfoldermalak
I couldn’t figure out how to make the mustache come of his head just by folding
SuperFolder_Zod
It’s impossible.(Or maybe not…)
Hewhowalkstheskys
I made one like in the book too. I even made instrux! I’m working on his Death Watch disguise right now. I had to draw on the beard and mustache. I SORTA figured out how to fold it, but in the end Foldy-Wan didn’t have a beard.
SFRobby
The site is nice, but I sorta like the old one better. And I miss the gravitars.
And the sf random stuff disscusion page.
TomAngleberger
Nice to see you again!
I miss the gravatars, too.
The SF Random Discussion page will be back sooN!
SFRobby
Yay! RANDOMNESS IS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *is being random*
Dwight_PaperwadYoda
Yay Randomness. Chocolate, Wheels, Trycycle.
SFRobby
IM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
odeyoda
Did you create any origami in the book: Star Wars origami 36 amazing…?
TomAngleberger
No, those are by my friend Chris Alexander! He is a much better origami folder than I am!
superfoldermalak
this may be true, but your pretty awesome
Zacharosorigami
tom< how come on the cover yoda on the book the little triangle at the bottom of his robe is cut out?
TomAngleberger
It’s not cut out, it’s the way the robe is folded….
SuperFolder_Zod
He means the paper behind the triangle. On the actual design, there’s paper there, but on the cover, it’s not. My cover Yoda has a secret fold that gets rid of the paper and tucks it behind the model.
Grease_the_Slick
Hey Guys! If You didn’t see my post last time, then I found a website that gives cheap, but nice, Origami Paper! Go to PaperJade.com! I just ordered a 200 Sheet Set of Origami Paper in 100 colors! It’s an AMAZING deal, just $15.50! So if you have a spare $20, go now!!!!
TomAngleberger
That does sound like a good deal…. let us know how the quality is once you receive it.
TomAngleberger
My advice is… make sure its in focus!
SF_Gavin
When will you update the how to fold page?
TomAngleberger
Hasn’t WB Sam updated it yet? He’s fired!!!! (not really, Sam)
crazySarah
Tom, if Cece Bell is your wife, why do have different last names?
TomAngleberger
She uses Cece Bell on her books. It is a much easier name to spell than Angleberger!
Yoda889
Hey Tom, can you please tell me your email,I really want to talk to you!!!!
crazySarah
Tom isn’t doing email anymore– This is how to talk to him now.
TomAngleberger
Yep!
OZIGAMI
I think I figured out the cover star for the next book.
SuperFolder_Zod
Who?
SF_Pi
Also, someone liked my Origami Anakin Foldo so much, they said they would PAY for a Star Wars Collection!!
SF_Pi
Hey Tom, I decided since my paperback copies of the Strange Case of Origami Yoda and Darth Paper strikes back, to get the hardcover and the Darth Paper book has the holographic cover!! Also, have you read the 39 Clues? And I found a site for printing origami paper and I printed a green sheet, flipped it and put brown on the other side and folded a cover yoda who is awesome! I just need to make a hand and lightsaber and I will post him!!
TomAngleberger
Wow! Awesome!!! Cant wait to see that Cover Yoda!
Will
tom, since tommy is named after u, is sara based on your wife or something?
TomAngleberger
No….
I have alot in common with Dwight and Cece has a lot in common with Caroline.
SFBrianWashington
hi everyone. Tom can i email my secret cover yoda instrux to u
crazySarah
Tom isn’t doing email anymore. I don’t know why…
TomAngleberger
Yep… email = done
SF_Firk
tom, are you going to erie or anywhere else in north west PA?
TomAngleberger
Not for awhile, I’m afraid. Sorry!
SF_Pi
Hey Tom, why does everyone say “wield”? why not “use”? I’m not saying it’s bad, just saying the word is rarely used anymore.
SF_Firk
Wat?
TomAngleberger
That’s really weild!
SF_Harald
LOL HAHAHA Tom!
SF_CJ
Will Boba Fett and Bossk be back in OY Book 5? Will they be doodles complaining that they aren’t origami character or will they be origami characters? And if they were origami characters, who would wield them? I hope they’re origami characters!
TomAngleberger
I hope so! They were fun to draw!
They will not be origami characters, but….
SF_CJ
But what?!
SF_Pi
Just a few questions:
1. How do you cut origami paper so well like in the r2 vid?
2. Is Mace made from a square or rectangle?
3. Is Pad-me made from a square?
$. Have you folded Foldy-Wan?
TomAngleberger
1. I’m a sloppy cutter, so it was probably bought that way.
2 Rectangle another rectangle for robe
3 Rectangle I THINK
4 Yes
Hewhowalkstheskys
I made instrux for Foldy-Wan.
Peach
I made instructions also. I have been waiting 3 weeks for it to be posted! 🙁
LegoGabe
Hey Tom, and any SFs with ideas, do you have any advice for my Lego Origami Yoda stop motion movie? And thanks for the other advice!
Peach
I was able to make one from the “wet pants” file of OY. I basically just read off of the book when a character was speaking, and I made a custom wall for the bathroom. Then I made a hall for Kellen to run to class to, and a classroom. Then for Tommy/Harvey comments, I just used a wall in my house. It takes a while to build all this but you probably know this. Base the minifigures on the drawings, and make custom decals if you want to. Origami Yoda is just a snipped plant from one of the old themes and a tan round stud. Be patient!
TomAngleberger
My advice is …. make sure it’s in focus! It’s hard to get small stuff in focus!
LegoGabe
Thanks!
