Origami Yoda

Princess Labelmaker to The Rescue! Talk to Tom week of March 4! (No spoilers…)

Hey SFs!!!
Well, she’s finally here!
A few of you may have the book already and hopefully the rest of you will be able to get it soon at your bookstore/library/school/mailbox!!!

SFs, I love writing these books so much and it’s so excited to have a new one out… and it absolutely would not be happening without you guys! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING ME AND READING MY STORIES AND FOLDING MY ORIGAMI AND MAKING YOUR OWN!!!!!

Let me know in the comments below if you’ve got it or what you think or anything else, except…
Please DO NOT POST ANY SPOILERS HERE!!!

Sam will put up another page where you can discuss it once you’ve read it.

Other than that, you can ask me questions or just say hi ….



darthCaleb13


hi tom, where did you get the paper to make jabba the puppet? Also how did you make his eyes and arms?

TomAngleberger


That paper came from AC Moore and I have found similar at Michaels. (But not always at either….)

Eyes are pleat folds. Arms are taped on.

darthCaleb13


thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SF_Pi


That’s where I got mine.

SF_PaperDragon


Have you ever made a kirigami Origami Yoda bookmark? You get a piece of origami paper and cut a skinny strip. You fold the book Yoda until you get to the part where you fold the sides back. now you make two cuts so you can fold the sides of the Yoda back at an angle and the sides of the bookmark back not at an angle. Fold out Yoda’s ears, draw the face and write something on the bookmark if you want, and you’re done!

SF_PaperDragon


Which Anakin is Harvey’s Anakin? Because he would be Darth Vader redeemed, except instead of a sad Voldemort-looking dude he’s basically Vader with the front of his mask removed, and he’s wearing Jedi Anakin’s face!

darthCaleb13


h i

TomAngleberger


Harvey’s Anakin is young Clone Wars era Anakin…

Jessenia


Ur favorite singer?

TomAngleberger


Nina Simone

SF_Austin_M


I came up with a good title for book 6.

THE PERLIOUS ATTACK OF COUNT DOOKREASE.

Pretty good, huh?

SF_PaperDragon


Here is the pattern: Must be in both trilogies, but star in orignal trilogy. Take Jabba. Cameo in Episode One, stars in Episode Six. R2: is in ALL OF THE MOVIES! Same with Yoda and Darth Paper. Chewbacca? Cameo in Epsiode 3, stars in original trilogy. Leia? Born in Episode 3, also stars in original trilogy. Even Foldy-Wan, the cover star who did not become a cover star, followed the pattern. I think it should be:

Boba Fett

Grand Moff Tarkin

Oh, yeah, and it should be someone everyone knows about. So, no Tessek.

Max Rebo? I’m sure that’s what Zod would say!

I’m not sure who else. Also, ATTACK has already been used.

TomAngleberger


If you’re wondering about who got in the acknowledgements and why…

We had several contests/events and people who participated got in.

To make it simpler this year we are going to have just ONE contest. And it’s coming SOON!

So stay tuned!

SFCammy


Tom, last time I waited for a contest and never got in one. πŸ™ Can you tell me when there’s one, because I really want to be in the acknowledgments. I’d be thrilled.

TomAngleberger


I think it will be in early April.

SF_Austin_M


I was in the acknowledgement a but didn’t participate in a contest.

Jessenia


πŸ˜€ I’m going to do the contest, no matter what. It must be awesome looking at ur name in a book! (I didn’t read the book yet. )

snowangel

Deathstar100

SF_Austin_M


About 15 bucks.

darthCaleb13

darkinvader

TomAngleberger

darkinvader

Math


Good night guys.

SFSlickSkillet


So Tom, what music do you listen to? I don’t mind if you answer or delete this for not being very important. Just curious…

TomAngleberger


I flip around a lot. Lately, I’ve been enjoying 50s rock and roll. NO I AM NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE BEEN ALIVE IN THE 50s πŸ™‚

My favorite song from right now is probably Everything is Awesome.

Jessenia


Haha

snowangel


EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

EVERYTHING IS COOL WHEN YOUR PART OF A TEAM!

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

WHEN WERE LIVING OUR DREAM!

SF_PaperDragon


Lapti Nek!

SFSlickSkillet


I listen to a lot of classic rock. My favorite bands are a toss between the Beatles, Moody Blues, ELO and Tom Petty. I sometimes listen to 50s stuff as well!

Math


Is your last book going to be the Revenge of Jango Sketch? If so I can give you some Jango instrux. Can you please ,please,please,please put me in the last book? In advance you thanks.

TomAngleberger


You’ll definitley hava chance to get in it.

And with ideas as good as Jango Sketch I’d say you have a really strong chance!

BaconFolder


Hey tom, can you come to California?

TomAngleberger


I just got back from the SanFran area…. not sure when I can get out there again.

Jedi_Master_Anakin


ICAN’TWAITTOGETIT! I think i’m too excited that i might forget to breath!

ILuvOrigamiYoda


Hi Tom! I’m almost finished reading Princess LabelMaker. So far . . . It’s so amazing there are no regular OR murkyism words to describe it!!!!! I hope it DOES get OY back in the New York Times Bestsellers!!!!!

TomAngleberger


Thanks! Hope you like the ending!

SF_delta4ce


Tom can you come to Dallas Texas

TomAngleberger


Yes, I am coming to the Dallas art museum.

http://www.dallasmuseumofart.org/programs/event/tom-angleberger

SF_delta4ce


Thank You

Star_Wars101


I should be getting it today or tomorrow

TomAngleberger


Whew…. guys I am trying to keep the spoilers off here, but it’s impossible.

So, maybe the rest of you better go ahead and read the book!

Jessenia


Ok! (Can’t find the book anywhere except ebay)

ILuvOrigamiYoda


Jessenia, go to Target. They have them.

SF_delta4ce


Does Books A Million have signed copies?

Jessenia


Ok!

SF_Austin_M


@delta4ce no they don’t.

BaconFolder


400th comment!

Magicman


Hi Tom! I just posted a Triangular Mace Windu! It is one piece of paper no cuts!

TomAngleberger


Cool!

ILuvOrigamiYoda


STOOKY! Hey check out my Mace!

Magicman


Also, it has arms and legs. Still one piece of paper. Still no cuts.

Jessenia


Thanks for putting me in the acknowledgements! It awesome!!!

Deathstar100


Am I in them

Jessenia


Don’t know! Iluvorigamiyoda told me!

ILuvOrigamiYoda


I’ll check

alexdarth99


Did anyone of you see the “no spoilers” thing????tom isn’t destroying his book, YOU are.

Maximus


Tom, I really want you to have a book where something incredibly crazy happens. Like, heres my idea: The kids from McQuarie go to their first day of high school at a high school under the same corporate chain as McQuarie. Their first day, all their friends are at the same school with them (including Harvey).

When suddenly, Dwight introduces everyone to…

HIS TWIN BROTHER!!! WHO HAS AN ORIGAMI BOSSK PUPPET!!!!!!!!!

What do you think?

Maximus


Oh, and Dwight’s brother could be evil! And could try to steal Dwight’s Origami Yoda, switch places with him, and try to take over the school using Origami Yoda! And the kids from the Rebellion have to defeat him!

Maximus


Well, it COULD be… Dr “Blew Up My Minecraft Stuff and Threw a Tantrum!”

Maximus


I-I’m sorry. T-that was uncalled for. πŸ˜›

TomAngleberger


Evil Jawa has asked about a big Skype visit with the EU. That would be awesome!

And of course, I’d like to Skype with ALL Sfs, too.

But I’m not sure how to do it. We don’t want a repeat of the last disaster!

Any ideas?

SF_Austin_M


Do a Shindig thingy!

SF_Austin_M


Wait, that was the last disaster… Maybe some of the SFs can set up an OY Minecraft server! I can build the pixel art!

TheEvilJawa


That’s a great idea Austin! I was thinking maybe you could do a livestream on YouTube! And have the EU Council on there, or do the livestream without the council, and do a Skype call.

TheEvilJawa


And if we do a server, I’m pretty sure I know how to make everyone be able to hear Tom! (It’s complicated, but I think that’ll work πŸ™‚ )

Jessenia


But not everyone has the money for minecraft stuff. Pls how do you vid chat more than on person?

SF_Austin_M


Me? A livestream (if this happens)? I’d need to get a YouTube account, get a screen capture thingy, ect. I don’t care what I have to do, I’m glad to help in any way!

PauseenP


I’d help with the statues!

Sf_Spy_Rise


Leave the Redstone stuff to me,

StookyLukey


I can Skype with you guys, but who will set up the server?

SFCammy


Hey Tom! I wanted to build off of tynamon’s outstanding theory! WHAT IF Lunchman Jeff used Origami Yoda, BUT one day found Harvey’s crumpled Darth Paper. You know, the one that Tommy crumples up. You say Harvey came to school the next day with a “new, uncrumpled one”. WHAT IF he threw the first crumpled Darth Paper in the trash and Lunchman Jeff found it. What would happen!?

TomAngleberger


Oh My Jabba!!! What a theory!

SF_PaperDragon


I can draw Sebulba! Just have to get the head down…

SF_PaperDragon


Man, I thought the head would be the easiest part. It’s harder than the body!

By the way, if you want to FOLD Sebulba, I recommend a frog base. I’ve used it once to get something kinda like Sebulba.

SF_PaperDragon


He’s not a puppet, it’s his whole body though. He doesn’t have to be on my finger to tell me what he thinks of my drawing.

SF_PaperDragon


“Leeah fam doosta!” is what he said. I told him it’s not a crop duster, but now that I look at him closely…

SF_PaperDragon


BTW, my mom think’s I’m bombing this site with comments.

SF_PaperDragon


BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM RATATATAT! KABLOOM! πŸ˜€

SF_PaperDragon


SF_PaperDragon 1 DAY AGO

Guys, I’m back! I deleted and recreated my account so I’ve been gone for like five seconds!

Jessenia 1 DAY AGO

Yay

TomAngleberger 1 DAY AGO

Glad you’re back!

ILuvOrigamiYoda 1 DAY AGO

Hey SF_PaperDragon! Can I call you SFPD for short?

PaperDragon 1 DAY AGO

Just PD. I’m not a one-man Superfolder Police Department. πŸ™‚ I also like Paper D. But not P. Dragon! Say that out loud and you’ll know what I mean.

quigonjack


can you put some more instructions on the how to fold page like foldy-wan and mace windu? I was also wondering if you could create a how to draw page?

SF_PaperDragon


I can fold and speed draw Foldy-Wan.

TomAngleberger


I think we’ll be putting up the Foldy Wan instructions really soon.

Mace Windu is just a variation on Han Foldo…. I think.

SF_Austin_M


Maybe we could fold Mace as a Foldy-Wan without the hair!

OrigamiMe


If Mace is a variation on Han, how does he have shoulders?

BaconFolder


Tom, when are you coming to California?

TomAngleberger


Not sure… Just got back from there, you know.

LandoCalrissian96


Tom, as of the creator of the instrux for Luke and Foldy-Wan, could you post what yours look like?

TomAngleberger


Ok, I’ll try… I’m not sure where they are. (Driving around Tatooine in a landspeeder, I guess…)

tynamonZ


if you play roblox type this: http://web.roblox.com/User.aspx?ID=52988180&ForcePublicView=true IT WILL TAKE YOU TO MY PROFILE THEN ADD ME πŸ˜€

tynamonZ


tom.. do you have roblox?

TomAngleberger


No…. I’m Minecraft.

tynamonZ


ok ;D

Noahv


Are you coming to houston in 2015

TomAngleberger


Don’t know anything about 2015 yet except that I am probably going on a book tour to Germany

Jessenia


Is this website where you find the independent bookstores?

http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781419710520

TomAngleberger


Great place to start!

Jessenia


Ok!

Lizzy266


Tom, I have a question. It’s not related to PL, but I thought TTT was the best place to ask. Did you fold cover Yoda? If not, who did?

Lizzy266


P.S. Who made up Jabba the Puppet?

StookyLukey


He made all of the cover stars exept the fortune wookiee, his wife cece made that one

TomAngleberger


Yep, that’s right! I made it sitting at my kitchen counter and didn’t even know it would be the “cover” Yoda.

TheEvilJawa


Can you post the B&N Foldy-Wan instrux?

TomAngleberger


I hope to do that soon!

Magicman


Ooh! Put out printable paper!

Deathstar100


Can you go to lincon or Omaha

TomAngleberger


Maybe! No plans tight now, but I’ll try!

TheEvilJawa


Hey, Tom, I know you’re busy, but one day, can you Skype with the EU Council 1 day? (Me, JC, Megan/Phred, CJ, and SF Journey Droid)

And also, sometime late this year or next year, (hopefully) JC and CJ are coming to VA to film the Fake Mustache Movie with me! And we’re gonna go to Sven’s/Glen’s, and other places from the book. And we were wondering if you could come with us to film and show us where you threw up all those peaches! πŸ˜›

Thanks, Evil Jawa

Jessenia


Wow! I wish I was part of that. I would like to skype with him. There should b a OY movie too!

TheEvilJawa


We are actually filming a Darth Paper Movie! Then it leads to the Fake Mustache Movie, which leads to, finally, the Horton Halfpott Movie. They’re sort of like the Marvel movies. They build on each other. πŸ˜€

Jessenia


Oh wow haha That’s cool. That would be awesome if all the SFs came to a convection. Then we would do the movie hah

TheEvilJawa


That’d be so cool! Now you got me thinking….

StookyLukey


AN OY-CON

Jessenia


That wouldbe very stooky, wouldn’t you think? The. We would see each other in real life!!!! It would be awkward, but plastic dinosaurs!

SF_PaperDragon


Not awkward, but we’re too spread out! I’d have to drive to Kansas or something! From California! Not to mention om lives in Virginia and StratMan lives in Australia!

TomAngleberger


Wow are you really all going to Sven’s???

I would definitely try to meet you guys up there.

And I could show you all sorts of sites, including…. the peaches

Jessenia


Ehhh but ALL the SFS should meet …

LegoGabe


Hey Tom, where are the instrux for the cover Princess Labelmaker?

Lizzy266


Yea, where CAN we find instrux? Cover PL is so stooky

TomAngleberger


Another thing I need to make!

Magicman


Hey Tom! When are you coming back to NC?

TomAngleberger


Well, I just barely got back from there, so it will probably be awhile…

Magicman


oh.

OrigamiMe


Just opened the book! I’m letting my sister read it first, but then I will read it every moment I get the chance! So… Excited…

TomAngleberger


NIce of you to let your sister read it!

Lizzy266


I don’t blame you OrigamiMe, It’s a good book!

SF_Harald


Getting PL in two hours! Couldn’t be more happy! This is already my favorite book and I haven’t even read it! I’m in the acknowledgements, has not one, not two, but THREE instrux and paper for FoldyWan!

Magicman


What? Mine didn’t!

TomAngleberger


That’s the B&N edition…

Magicman


Oh.

Lizzy266


Now I want the B&N edition!

Magicman


I may re-buy the book with B&N edition.

SFteamroker


I tried to get a signed copy at the bookstore but they weren’t signed. i also tried getting special edition but barnes and noble didnt have that D:<. anyway i got it from costco it was still good. thank you Tom.

TomAngleberger


That’s weird. B&N should definitely have had that. Sorry!

Hope you like it anyway!

Magicman


Should have gone to Target, thats where I got mine, and it came with bookmarks!

SF_Harald


Thanks so much Tom for putting my SF name in the acknowledgements! It means so much to me so thanks so much!

TomAngleberger


You earned it big time with all your work on the Manhattan display!

SF_Harald


Thanks that means a ton!

Francisyodaguy


Hi.

SF_Princess


I GOT THE ONLY SIGNED COPY IN THE STORE!!OMGOMGOMG!!!! Thanks Tom for doing that signing thing! πŸ˜€

TomAngleberger


You got a signed one!!! YAY!!!!

Jessenia


I’m buying a signed copy on ebay!!!

Magicman


Triangular!

Jessenia


Hey tom!

My mom checked out this website with me today. These are her exact words.

“Hmmm, what is stooky?

“It’s a word we use on here. It means awesome.”

And plastic dinosaurs?

” awesome like plastic dinosaurs.”

” kids these days….. ”

Then she said it was a very cool thing to talk to you on here! She Aslo likes the idea of the ability it’s how your work.

SF_Princess


lol best conversation eva!

TomAngleberger


Haha! I’m glad your mom like it. Maybe she is more used to expressions like “gag me with a spoon” or “tubular?”

Jessenia


LOL

Lizzy266


I haven’t shown me Mom the site yet. I should sometime.

Lizzy266


Oops, I meant, my Mom! Boy do I hate typos!

Sf_Spy_Rise


Ironically, spell check infuriates as well!

BaconFolder


I wanted to report a comment, so I looked at the other reports, and one of them had a spoiler about the book! SO MAD WORST DECISION EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TomAngleberger


I’m sorry!

I am so frustrated about people posting spoilers!

StookyLukey


If i send you a snail mail tomorow how Lon will it take to get to you?

StookyLukey


Ps, what s the address that I should send it to?

Jessenia


He said six months.

StookyLukey


O man…

Jessenia


I think it’s worth it! I sent mine in Jan

TomAngleberger


It takes a while to get to me…. and then I take forever to answer it because I reply to everyone with a drawing.

The address is:

Origami Yoda

Amulet Books
