Yep! It’s a pickle!!!! This is the REAL cover for Book 6.
As for the Other BIG NEWS… I’m writing Return of the Jedi for Lucasfilm! My reaction to the news is here…
A lot of people are asking me about this being the LAST BOOK in the series.
Well, yes… sort of like Return of the Jedi was the last book in the original Star Wars trilogy.
Remember, there’s always room for sequels, prequels, spin-offs and holiday specials!

Hey tom, you know what’s funny? I was on starwars.com the other day, like 1 day before you announced the news. They had just changed the site theme, so I could not figure out how to get into something. I saw a thing saying that some people were writing new books based on the Star Wars series, but as I said, I could not figure out what to do. So I went to here, and did not think much more about it. And then the next day, you say that you were writing a book called return of the Jedi, and I was really excited, but I could have figured it out easily if they had not changed the theme.

WHAT THE HUTT
YodaSF
When I first took a glance at the cover of the new OY book, I thought: “Holy, this book is sure going to be different!” After all, the cover star is made out of food! I have a feeling the latest story is going to be one of the best yet!
JC
Hey Tom, to answer your question about filming on location, we are (hopefully) going to do just that! We have allowances that we’re all saving up, so Megan/Phred and I can meet up with CJ and Evil Jawa there, and film!
And this might not be just Origami Yoda…..because I’ve talked with Evil Jawa, and we might throw together a short film (fifteen minutes long) of Fake Mustache!
SWF12
Cool! I’ll make a website for the FM film.
SWF12
Got the site! Here it is: http://allhailthemustache.wordpress.com/

Stooky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
darkinvader
hey JC can I be a part of your series? like voice darth paper or something? I really want to
JC
That’d be really cool! Darth Paper is already taken, but if you send me an email (it’s on the OY EU front page) we can try and see who you could play!
darth_origami
Can you tell us who is in the acknolagements
JediWiseSebby
In spirit of origami Yoda, I think it would be nice if everyone shared their theories about origami Yoda
OrigamiMe
Tom, what special goodies come with the B&N edition (if there is one)? Also, will there be any signed copies available?
legojabba4
YA tom what is the B&N edition
SeanSolo
I would like a poster of the origami alliance.
SFRobby
The alliance isn’t in this book. They got rid of Funtime.
jarjar55
This is the last book! I declare there shall be more books!
SWF12
Tom, does Ben have a major part in the book? Also, am I in the acknowledgements? Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
Griffolder
Well, at least there is room for more! 🙂 😉
OrigamiMe
Tom, how are there lots of Pickletine posts on SF stookiness? With the waiting list, did some SFs know beforehand?
origamaster217
No. He just posted all the Pickletines early!
OrigamiMe
Okay.
JC
Great news, Tom! Origami Yoda: The Series is beginning to crank out the newest episodes!!! We have the first few minutes of the first episode done, and filming will occur during the week, so maybe the first episode could even be released next weekend!
TomAngleberger
WOWWWW!!!! That’s THREE pieces of big news in one week!!!
Can’t wait to see it!
Are you still going to be filming ON LOCATION this summer?
SWF12
Awesome!
legojabba4
Where will it be posted
OY217

TomAngleberger

TomAngleberger
Thanks!
yoda2014
How about making Luke get wet and die by pickle juice? All gasp. Not being a Harvey just a what if. Also is pickletines cloak a napkin?
yoda2014
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
SFCPHP
Hey Tom, since you said the face is a real pickle, is it like rotting right at this minute, or is it in your refridgerator right now or something to preserve it?
TomAngleberger
It became a Force Pickle and faded away,…
SFRobby
Lol.
Imapepper12
Tom Will you please come to utah county utah!!! Like Salt Lake City!!!
TomAngleberger
Dude, I was just there in Novemeber. It’ll be a long time before I can come back…
SFRobby
Salt lake city! Pepper, did you get to go see general conference LIVE.
jedileader
tom i am the founder of the origami yoda club remember you signed my book.
TomAngleberger
STOOKY!!!!! Glad you’ve joined us here on the site, too!
Imapepper12
Hey Tom!!!! I just read your series to pl again!!! They are by far my favorite series. They combine my 2 favorite things. Origami and Star Wars!! This series beats Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Percy Jackson. P.S. I am also a big Lord of the Rings fan. You should try making a video or book about origami Lord of the Rings. Other SF’s please don’t hate me for saying that!!!
TomAngleberger
That would be really cool! You know there’s some nice EU stories already using LOTR and you could add to it!
Imapepper12
What is an EU? Sorry I don’t know all these things.
Imapepper12
Thanks!

How are you planning on writing the Jedi novel? Are you going to stick to the movie or add some things from other sources? I know you would probably want to skip Arica aka Mara Jade talking to C-3PO which is not in the movie… Also, How are you going to feel writing about the death of Yoda?
TomAngleberger
My goal is to tell the story as well as C3P0 tells it to the Ewoks. So, every detail isn’t necessary, but some details — like the sound a speeder bike makes — are.
SF_PaperDragon
Hi! Just finished Princess L (before my brother did, and he checked it out at the library and not me! Ha! Of course I still feel bad that I wasn’t the one who checked it out, but he’ll be a new SF on this site soon.
I AM TOTALLY READING YOUR ROTJ NOVELIZATION! Back to what i was talking about. 😀
I loved it! And the Murky chapter- I really hope i can apologize now. I know you accepted my apologies throughout my bipolar crazy stage, but now I’ve read it. Wow. If you were going to put the word “gay” in the book, that was the way to do it.
How do you fold Emperor Pickletine? I am dying to know! And I just realized he is still “origami” but is folded from fruit leather! Grape it looks like. Back to what i was talking about.)
I loved the book. It was awesome. Can’t wait for the next one.
STOOKINESS OVERLOAD! COMPUTER EXPLODE!
Thankfully not the last one. Otherwise I couldn’t finish this comment AND I’d get in trouble for blowing up the desktop. 😆
Also, wasn’t here, be back this summer! SFs, if Tom doesn’t get this please paste it for me. Thanks!
SF_PaperDragon
Also why Harvey? Didn’t he become good?
TomAngleberger
Ah, PaperDragon…. I’m so glad you gave it a chance! It wasn’t so bad was it?
Yodamaster
Is this the legit FINAL book or will there be a spin off??
TomAngleberger
I don’t know for sure either….
SFRobby
You need to make ones about them in 8th grade.
SF_PaperDragon
HE IS DUDE! THAT”S THE LAST BOOK!
SF_Gavin
No this is abut the end of 7th grade
TomAngleberger
Right, this is still in the 7th grade.
JediWiseSebby
Tom, can I be apart of the acknowledgements? My friends will be SOOO jealous!
TomAngleberger

Epicdude311
Hey tom, what are emporer pickle tines eyes? They look like jelly beans! 😀
SF_PaperDragon
Yeah, that’s it.
TomAngleberger
They are red got candies. That was another part of my hint.
RED HOT — TIN FOIL — GHERKIN — PAPER!
That’s what the Emperor is made of!
Purse_Girl

TomAngleberger

legojabba4

SFRobby

Superfolderethfan

Jessenia
Hey, Lemony Snicket (author of a series of unfortunate events) released his first book on Friday 13th of October. That was a while ago. He went Ina helicopter and threw books out of it! So it rained free books! Tom should do that! Please! All over a country where most SFs are! On august 12th!
Wiztron

Couldn’t Someone get conked in the head by a book?
darkinvader

Ed_the_Brit

Jessenia
I dint care if I get hit in the head by a book! Eheh
Wiztron
Tom, will the instructions be for the COVER Pickletine robe? Please reply.
TomAngleberger
Not sure…. it may be too difficult. Instructions need to fit on 2 pages.
Wiztron
But Jabba was, like, 4!
ObiDrawn
It’s not the most evil title, but vey smart Pre-K kids may want it…if the emperor doesn’t scare them away
Jessenia
The final Origami Yoda case file from the kids at McQuarrie Middle School! After successfully fighting to save their field trip in Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue!, Tommy and the gang prepare for a well-earned day of fun and adventure in Washington, DC . . . but of course it won’t be that easy! This trip to the nation’s capital will be full of shifting alliances and betrayals, carsickness and sugar rushes. Trouble starts even before the buses leave school, when Principal Rabbski decrees the field trip an “origami-free zone.” Dwight secretly folds a Yoda from a Fruit Roll-Up, but will Fruitigami Yoda be a match for Harvey’s sour, hate-filled pickle of darkness? Astronaut ice cream, a supersonic plane, a Johnny Appleseed sighting, and a near arrest—are just some of the clues in the sweetest, stookiest, biggest, craziest Origami Yoda case file yet.
Is this true? You didn’t answer me….
darkinvader
wow! cool description!
yodafan
She copied.
Jessenia
I copied pasted form Amazon. I wanna know if it’s true!
yodafan
It is also Tom’s description.
TomAngleberger
That’s correct!!!
Jessenia
Harevy has it?
ObiDrawn
the release date is August 12 I think, I looked it up.
Also the emperor slightly resembles the Grinch!
ObiDrawn
Wow that was stupid. I looked it up on amazon when I could have just seen it on this site before I commented
JediWiseSebby
Tom, once Episode VII comes out will you make more?
TomAngleberger
Uncertain the future is…. always in motion.
Wiztron
Tom will the instrux be for the cover Pickletine robe? Or EZ? Cause I have instructions for EZ robes.
origamaster217
Tom, do you give a rough copy of your book to book reviewers? If so, I librarian/book reviewer I know will be raffling one pre-release copy off. Will it have doodles, or will it be blank: just words? Please reply!
TomAngleberger
No, we won’t have that. EVERYBODY has to wait even librarians!
origamaster217
OK!
Ghostbuster
wait…… who is going to wield pickletine?
ObiDrawn
I read the summary so I’m guessing Harvey, he made it………OR he might give it to someone, about the betrayal part though is it Murky, Jen, or DWIGHT?!
SFTaunTaun
probably harvey 🙁 …
TomAngleberger
Yes, it’s Harvey.
Jessenia
Harvey! So we don’t need to wonder who has it now 🙁
CB
I thought jar jar was book six
Ahsoka_Tano
that was an april fools joke
TomAngleberger
HEY SFs!!!!
To answer a bunch of questions at one:
1) YES there will be nstructions for folding Pickletine’s origami robe. Then you just slip a pickle slice in there and…. beware the SOUR SIDE!
2) YES this is the last book of the series. (But…) And YES Dwight will get his own chapter and YES he will tell us all about Origami Yoda!
CB
Oh man
CB
But.. stooky!
SFCammy
Okay!
Wiztron

UltraYodaGami

JediWiseSebby
