Talk to Tom Week of April 15 – The Rise of Pickletine!!!

April 15, 2014

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!

So I’m guessing one of the gang turns their pickle into an Emperor? At least it’s not techinically origami so they can’t get in trouble for it 😀

GRAND MOFF GHERKIN (maybe)

SF_MyrMyr

12 years ago

OMG OMG OMG

SF_Gavin

12 years ago

Its probably Tarkin because:

1. it follows the good bad pattern

2. follows with the hints of being in 1 original and 1 prequel (Episode 4 and 3) and was in the clone wars

3. Tom just mentioned something about Gherkin Paper, Gherkin could be the pun for Tarkin, I just googled Gherkin though and it has something to do with pickles…

4. IIRC Tom said Tarkin was one of his favorite characters.

Tips from Webmaster Sam

1) After you submit... be patient. It can take 2-4 weeks for it to appear, simply because of the number of submissions submitted before yours.

2) A STRICT policy on the site is NO PEOPLE in your origami photos, including you. (Your hand is okay, but that’s it!)

3) Remember, clicking on SUPERFOLDER STOOKINESS is the best way to see ALL the origami SFs have posted! And if you like it, comment on it!

4) Take a little extra time and make sure you've got the BEST picture you can get of your origami. Maybe even crop and rotate the photo using a website like: PICRESIZE.com.
