Here’s a new Talk to Tom page for this week…
This week I want to know which Star Wars character you DO NOT want on a cover.
I’d like to know who you don’t want to see AND WHY and if you would still read the book anyway…
And, as always, ask me any questions except: how long will it take for submissions to come up? The answer is currently: 18 days or so. Plus that’s Webmaster Sam’s department. Maybe some week we’ll do a Talk to Sam post.
Darthgabe1
Hi Tom im new here so…yeah and I actolly like everybody in star wars so its all good
CommanderGree
SuperFolder_Zod, have you every made a General Grevious?
SuperFolder_Zod
Yes, but it is based off a fish base. I was surprised too when Tom said that it is 2 bird bases! I’ll test it, and report back, OK? BTW, the actual Commander Gree tried to shoot Yoda in the back, and Yoda cut his head off. Interesting choice for a name.
CommanderGree
I like him though:)
SuperFolder_Zod
POLL
If you lived on Coruscant, and you felt like having lunch, would you rather eat at Dexter Jettster’s restaurant, or Max Rebo’s food chain?(Note: This would be after the war with the Galactic Empire, so Dexter himself wouldn’t be around.)
CommanderGree
I like Max Reebo-he’s like a small, blue, elephant
wookiewolf
I agree
SuperFolder_Zod
And he’s a musician!
LegoGabe
“Giant blue dog!” “Actually, he looks more like an anteater.” -Count Dooku and General Grevious
CommanderGree
by the way Tom, do you integrate the bird bases into the rectangle, or do you tape them on the end?
TomAngleberger
They are part of the rectangle… no tape…
here’s the finished product:
http://origamiyoda.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/my-new-origami-general-grievous/
Leia
you SHOULD put on c3-po, but NEVER I mean NEVER put on venttress shes ugly and I found out that she licks her feet!
CommanderGree
I’m really, really new (like, today), how many times do you reply in a day?
TomAngleberger
I try to reply once a day…. can’t always do it…
CommanderGree
Thanks Tom!! I don’t have the Art2 book yet, but I’ll search the bird base:)
Leia
Hey Tom, do you have a middle name?
TomAngleberger
Yes
CommanderGree
Tom, is there any way that you can make General Grievous instructions? I also made a really cool Commander Gree (the clone from Kashyyk) and I’ll send it soon. (by the way I just sent in a REALLY cool R2-series droid collection)
CommanderGree
Hence my name
TomAngleberger
well, there are instrux in Art2D2 for kirigami Grievous…
To make one without cutting, I used a double burd base design, creating bird bases on both ends of a large rectangle. (You can google origami bird base …)
CommanderGree
I wouldn’t want to see Princess (Leia, Lea???) because I’ve never liked her in the movies, but of course I would read the book.
ILuvOrigamiYoda
Look, I know Leia’s lame in the movies, but read her whole entire wookiepedia page. You’ll find that she’s actually 10 times STOOKYER than Vader.
origamibulbasaur
Please Tom, I need your help! the origami empire is rising and I can’t defeat them alone! will you fight by my side in the origami republic? you are my only hope.
superfolderbane
The republic shall fall as it did in episode 3!
origamibulbasaur
and rise again as in episode 4. plus, I have Tom, I think, please?
superfolderbane
You shall fall I have foreseen it
SuperFolder_Zod
I can offer information to both sides. I’m neutral.
superfolderbane
Thank you zod…. my spy
origamibulbasaur
no zod! what happened to all the spirit from the AHA? we need that, please zod, I looked up to you. now I need your help.
(dramatic echo) your help, your help, your help, your help.
SuperFolder_Zod
I am not your spy! I did not say that! Why would you eve…
Hey look, donuts!(eats donuts)
As I was saying, I am neutral. On my side are Max Rebo, Soapy the Monkey, Squidman, Batty the Bat-Dude, Tiffany, Boba Fett, a battle droid, TK-421, Jar Jar Binks, and a GNK droid. In other words, a makeshift army.
But we will not fight without pay!
Oooh, more donuts!
SuperFolder_Zod
Oh yeah, and LegoGabe, if you really are neutral, you may join us too.
Join the food side…we have donuts
Superfolder_Spence
What about me?
SuperFolder_Zod
You too. Check the comment at the top of the page for an update on the army of the food side.
Han_Foldo
what is your next book going to be called tom? One more thing, how old is tom?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Han_Foldo
what is your tooth paste!!!!!
origamibulbasaur
secret.
TomAngleberger
Secret
Secret
and
Secret
origamibulbasaur
I respect your privacy, but why?
Han_Foldo
I do not want a battle droid to be on a cover. I do not want to see a battle droid because there will probably be a huge battle between Darth Paper and Origami Yoda. But, if there was a battle droid on the cover, I would still read the book.
Question: When is your next book coming out!?!?!?!?
SuperFolder_Zod
Spring 2014
Han_Foldo
okey!
TomAngleberger
No battle droid…
Bur also no battle between Yoda and Vader.
Superfolder_Spence
I have figured how to fold a origami EZ rebel sign (from Jabba)
TomAngleberger
CooL!!!!
Tyler
Ok superfolders, IM DESPERATE NOW!!! For those of you who have made a trading card Pad-mè, Please try to make instructions!! I need her! By the way, I have the entire rebel origami alliance. Should I post it?
SuperFolder_Zod
I have made a design for a perfect replica of Pad-me. I just need to make one, and instrux.
origamibulbasaur
yes!!!! that would be a great boost for the ORA!
TomAngleberger
Don;t we already have those instrux up and listed under How To Fold?
SuperFolder_Zod
My version is different. WAY different.
DarthMaul89
I am sorry if any of you SF buds like this dude, But I do not want to see qui gon jinn. He is stooky but not really cover worthy.
origamibulbasaur
yeah.
DarthJabba
i do not want to see the clones, Leia, or the piggy gaurds. Tom u r so cool and i saw the video on yutube of u being MrGoodCleanFun in that video those kids made of quavando the cheeto hog. (u threw soapy at harveys face)

superfolderbane
Join the origami galactic empire the ora is dead and we will rule the galaxy one fold at a time. I shall be leading the OGE as emperor Bane. I would like the ose to join and together we will be unstoppable.
origamibulbasaur
The ORA is not dead! You fell for such a simple mindtrick, it’s almost to easy. the empire will fall again as it once did on endor.
superfolderbane
U are the fool we will crush you and all of the rebels. You have one chance to join me and you shall rule with me as Darth Bulbasaur
origamibulbasaur
really this again? I’m no vader! as new leader of the reasenbled republic, I will defeat you. this has been from one that will now be known as N, feel free to surender. all republic members, post here!
SF_Firk
mr.bane, what exactly did you do to become a ’emperor’ ?
origamibulbasaur
you create a group and call yourself that. don’t to him, the dark side will always fall, me and my secret origami creation will help the light shine forever.
SF_Firk
Well bulbs, I was a sith, and never fell… wait, BULBS I WAS NOT TALKING TO YOU! GOSH!
superfolderbane
you shall be crushed origamibulbasaur and Firk join me
superfolderbane
Join SF_Firk and I will tell you all
origamibulbasaur

superfolderbane
I shall not lose! You will lose N, you and all of your Jedi order!
LegoGabe
Oh great. An origami galactic empire. Jek-FOLDteen and I are not taking a side.
origamibulbasaur
fine, I can’t get support, you win.
tclum yb a idej, loof.
superfolderbane
You will fall
SF_Firk
bane, do you want to join you!?!?!
superfolderbane
I am the emperor of the empire. So I am in
darth_vader
I wouldn’t want a darth maul or a count duku. I would want a Luke or a Anakin
origamibulbasaur
Anakin, not luke.
odeyoda
Tom how can I get the trading cards everyone is talking about? What are they?
Tyler
The trading cards only came with the Barnes and Noble special edition of Jabba the Puppet. If you don’t have them, don’t worry, a lot of people don’t.
origamibulbasaur
get the book, or they’re probibly on ebay
TomAngleberger
I don’t have any either. Seriously! Not a single one!!!
StookyMaster
YOU dont have any! WOW!
odeyoda
Tom, I told you that I have some very interesting stuff you could put into your next how to file. So my question is how much time it takes for YOU to sea it? Not how much time it takes for ME to get a reply? Thanks.
TomAngleberger
I see the stuff when Webmaster Sam posts it… so that’s abot 18 days.
Tyler
Hmm… As cool as Darth Maul would be (great detective work, SF Zod!), he doesn’t have any lines except “yes, my lord” If you don’t count the Clone Wars Tv Show.
SuperFolder_Zod
Yes, actually, he does. But you still have a point. Even Tom pointed out the pattern of characters being from both the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy. So, it is possible that the star will be neither Mace nor Maul(my best guesses). Back to the drawing board, Detective Tyler!
Grease_the_Slick
Wait, that means my prediction of Obi-Wan is still in Store! WooHoo!
SuperFolder_Zod
Oh yeah and did I mention it’s also not Foldy-wan?
origamibulbasaur
so that leaves c-3po and, thats about it.
SuperFolder_Zod
C-3PO is not even remotely possible.
7Wonders
no mesa jar jar!
Judoippon
anything you put on your covers i would still read, but dont put the characters like Tommy and Harvey and stuff. stick to Origami (and Kirigami)
origamibulbasaur
agreed. (the wookie was somewhat of a let down.)
sfanakinskypaper
jar jar because he is too crazy
AlexMunoz
I thing that it should be Grevious or Papertin a bad guy I like them but no Darth Maul hes cool but he dont even say a complete frase
Jango_Fett
I agree
ILuvOrigamiYoda
I thinks it needs to be a girl. There hasn’t been a girl cover star and that’s not really fair to girl Star Wars fans.
Grease_the_Slick
Okay… Who’s a girl that’s been in All 6 movies?
darth_vader
PAD’ME
origamibulbasaur
she was only in the prequils…
origamibulbasaur
only in the original 3, plus she’s kind of lame. (don’t mean to be a harvy, but it’s true.)
SuperFolder_Zod
Hey Tom, I was thinking a while back, how about we have a joke contest? Superfolder_Spence just reminded me when he told his Geonosian carbonite joke. It would be totally stooky!
ILuvOrigamiYoda
Yeah! That would! I hope we can!
TomAngleberger
Good idea! Next week’s Talk to Tom will be jokes!
SuperFolder_Zod
Yay! I call dibs on being the judge!
Magicman
i,me judge no. 2!
Superfolder_Spence
Zod, my Geonosian joke will win!
#Iwillwin!
SuperFolder_Zod
Tom, call it SuperFolder_Zod’s Star Wars Joke Contest! With Judge Zod and guest star judge Magicman! thx
origamibulbasaur
two guys walk into a bar. THERE is the funniest joke ever.
StookyMaster
i have a funny star wars joke. who wants to hear it?
StookyMaster
that is the greatest idea ever!!!
SuperFolder_Zod
All the SFs that I recommended for the How to Fold page(see “The best SuperFolder made instructions?”), you’re welcome! 😀
ILuvOrigamiYoda
Hi Tom. I need some advice. My friend has this friend that’s more like a frenemy, and this person is really mean to my friend. And if my friend tries to tell this person that person ignores her. My friend told this persons parents and the didn’t do anything. Do you know anything I could tell my friend to do that might help her?
TomAngleberger
That’s a tough situation! Sounds a little like Harvey… but meaner.
The important thing is that your friend has a REAL friend: you!
Maybe the two of you just need to give the other one some time to learn to be nicer…
ILuvOrigamiYoda
Thnx.
sfecho
hey, tom, you probably won’t see this, but if you do, could you put up the spread the word to end the word poster back up? my brother has a severe case of austism and i hate it when people call things retarded. not that anyone on the site’s using it or anything. thanks! while i’m at posters, i would like the don’t be a harvey poster back, please.
TomAngleberger
YES! We totally need that back up! I’ll get right on it!
Superfolder_Spence
Two geonosians walk into Mos Esiley, the one says get me something carbonated like soda , the waiter says sure. The second geonosian says I don’t need anything.. The waiter comes back…
But not with drinks, but with a chamber…. Moments later the first geonosian is in carbinite… Not a carbonated drink 🙂
Superfolder_Spence
Get it? Carbonated= fizzy, carbinite ( this word might get autocorrected) = Hans word nightmare
sfecho
haha! they should make a drink where something touches it, the drink freezes in three secounds turning to ice. it would be cool.
origamikaden
tom can you give me the e-mail of word press because i deleted my site i did not mean to and i need it to keep on runing online Help me sf origami kaden

Chewy14
Me
SUPERSTOOKYSWAGMAN
If you ask me I do not want Mace on there. He just is not my favorite guy, if you ask me I would say Mace is not really that strong. Also through school book order I bought Jedi Academy by Jeffrey Brown, the guy who wrote Darth and son, and Vader’s little princess.
SUPERSTOOKYSWAGMAN
Also have you ever thought of putting Tommy or Kellen on there instead of just origami they made?
sfecho
jeffrey brown rocks! also, i agree with you on the humans.
TomAngleberger
Actually I’ve never considered putting an actual person on the cover…
origamibulbasaur
don’t! it would ruin the cover forever. please, THAT MAY BE ENOUGH TO PULL ME ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE DARK SIDE
Braydon
And can you put me in your next book as Braydon one of Dwights new Neighbors And im in schoolwith him and his friends i have short hair and wear a striped shirt and have
Braydon
and have
Bobo fet as a puppet
SUPERSTOOKYSWAGMAN
That is not how you spell Boba Fett
Superfolder_Spence
It’s probably auto correct
sfecho
could you put me in the next book? i could be a teacher who hates funtime and supportes the kids battling against the congress.
sfecho
my code last name would be bullson.
TomAngleberger
Wish I could out ALL SFs in the books… Just not enough room…
Braydon
Dear Mr.

tom, have you been to my site yet?
SuperFolder_Zod
I just tried to go to your site in the blogroll, and it said “the authors of this site have deleted it!” What happened?!
SF_Firk
that was my old site! go here http://firksorigamiandstuffftw.wordpress.com/
SuperFolder_Zod
OK thx
I will
TomAngleberger
Yes! I love that Indiana JOnes you made recently!
Will try to fix blogroll…
SuperFolder_Zod
I figured out how to make Queen Origamidala. There is a squash fold that makes the sleeves slimmer, but otherwise it’s like the one in the YouTube video.
SuperFolder_Zod
Oh yeah, and I have a
MIND-BLOWING QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the trading cards, it says that there are folding instructions for Pad-me and Mace Windu at
http://origamiyoda.wordpress.com/fold/
but when you go there, it says that the special instructions come out in Summer 2013. Summer 2013 has come and gone already, but no instrux. Where are they, Tom?
SuperFolder_Zod
Actually, never mind. My version of Pad-me is nothing like the video. And Tom, where are those instrux? Just wondering.
TomAngleberger
DOH!!!!!!!!!
SuperFolder_Zod
He forgot, I guess.
Tyler
Zod, where did you find that video on how to fold padme?
SuperFolder_Zod
YouTube; it’s the first one that pops up.
Chewy14
No Pad-me’!!! And Tom sorry about the JtP comment.
ILuvOrigamiYoda
I think it SHOULD be either Padme or Leia.
origamibulbasaur
no
origamibulbasaur
no no no no no no no no no no no. she is posibly the 2nd lamest person is starwars, only surpassed by Luke!
Chewy14
Yes!!! You are right origamibulbasaur,she is lame!!
CJVK
Honestly no one would be bad, but it would be very stooky to see Darth Plageuis.
origamibulbasaur
you mean papertine?
CJVK
No, plageuis is papertine’s master. Wookieepedia has his backstory, it is really plastic dinosaurs.
HashtagYoda1
NO DARTH SIDIOUS!
origamibulbasaur
why?
Judoippon
Hey tom if you had to own 3 items from the Star Wars Universe, which items would you pick?
I would pick one of those Jedi Hover Chairs, a Lightsaber and a Water Breathing device.
SuperfolderR2
I’d pick a lightsaber, a water breathing device, and a good set of Jedi-wise training!
HashtagYoda1
I’d pick 1 blue lightsaber, be a master of the Force, and have the millennium falcon!
ObiDrawn
the whole Star Wars universe is technically one thing…I’ll take the whole Star Wars universe!!!!
Judoippon
So bassicly, your saying you would have the Star Wars universe in your pocket at school and be like to your friends; “hey check out my Star Wars universe” and then some knocks it out of your hand onto the floor and the teacher steps on it killing everyone in the Star Wars universe? ooooooook?
StookyMaster
Lightsaber, millenium falcon
ILuvOrigamiYoda
Lightsaber, starfighter, and awesome force powers.
TomAngleberger
I’d like an R2 Unit, a Boba Fett jet pack and pet rancor
origamibulbasaur
jedi powers, (force and lightsaber! ha take that logic!) water breathing device, and loyal rancor. <(º0º)>
origamibulbasaur
thats 4 things! only 3
origamibulbasaur
Gandolf, I was just reveiwing past posts and saw you hated on bronys. I happen to be a brony and I am proud of it, so feel to stop hating. we bronys are some of the stookyest people around. slenderman, my cousin is a brony as well. ALL BRONYS POST HERE TO JOIN THE FLASHFIRE!
HashtagYoda1
I’m a brony, too!
Impossible
I hate MLP. Deal with it.
ObiDrawn
what’s a brony (sorry not enough jedi wisdom)
SuperFolder_Zod
Google it.
origamibulbasaur
a bony is a boy or adult fan of mlp friendship is magic. also, hashtagyoda1, feel free to join, spread that bronyism!
origamibulbasaur
btw just because you don’t like the show doesn’t mean you have to hate those who like it.
ILuvOrigamiYoda
Don’t judge me but I’m almost 12 and I LUV MLP. I’m not a brony though cuz I’m a girl.
