Howdy SuperFolders!!!
We’re CHANGING the way we do TALK TO TOM.
From time to time, Tom will do a LIVE session and answer questions as they come in.
Stay tuned, because the first one is coming up SOON.
Until then:
Here are a few FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, with answers!
Q: Are you writing more books?
A: YES!!!!!!
I hope to write many, many more books.
Right now I do not have a new Origami Yoda book coming out, but I do have:
The Qwikpick Papers series Book 2 coming in spring 2015.
Return of the Jedi, Summer 2015
McToad (a picture book), Fall 2015
A series with Cece coming 2016!
And of course, my other books: Fake Mustache, Horton Halfpott, Stonewall Hinkleman and Crankee Doodle.
Plus, Cece’s book, El Deafo, tells the real story behind Caroline, from the OY books.
Q: How do I write to Tom?
A: Origami Yoda
Abrams/Amulet
115 W. 18th ST
NY NY 10011
Q: Can I email Tom? Can I post my email or home address in a comment?
A: No, that’s not allowed because of Internet privacy concerns. You should NEVER post your home address online ANYWHERE. NEVER! And you should be very very careful with your email address as well.
Q: Is the TalkZone coming back?
A: No, never.
Q: Is this Website shutting down now that the series is over?
NO! The website stays! It’s a place for you guys to show off your Star Wars origami — and me, too, sometimes. So keep folding and submitting and having fun!

you won’t believe what’s happening Tom!
Today, a new earthling came to sixth grade. I’m in seventh, but he was the only new person. So I said hi.
His response- do you want some CHEETOS?
He looks like Quavondo!! (Idk if I spelled that right) a lot!!!
It was funny! Oh, and people are asking for the PY books so they can have proof they read. They actually read the books (who wouldn’t, all have awesome covers) and all asked…
Can I have the second book? :3
TomAngleberger
Sounds like a cool dude!
Lord_Vader
Tom, has my letter got to you? The cover Yoda instrux are from a different guy. The Ahsoka instrux are by me
TomAngleberger
Not yet….
sf_c3p0
Tom, I was just wondering what genre your books are? For class I need to read a realistic-fiction book. (I’m fine if I need to read another book. I got one just in case.) Also, I think your books are WAFFLETASTIC and STOOKY!
TomAngleberger
Yes, my books are often classified as Realistic Fiction.
Yoda_Ruler
That sounds about right.
skyvader10
But since OY is real, it makes tm kind of fantasy
skyvader10
I mean them. The keyboard on my phone is tiny so I often hit the wrong letters
Origamiarmaan
New book should be the rise of origami spider-man
TomAngleberger
Interesting….
sfyoda
hey Mr. Angleberger, will you ever come to San Diego, CA?
TomAngleberger
I’ll be there for COmicCon next year….
sfyoda
stooky!
Anakin_Skyfolder
Tom, when you write a book, do you plot it out or think about the structure of the book?
TomAngleberger
Depends.
OY books are plotted out.
Fake Mustache was written randomly…
Yoda_Ruler
I can tell. Fake mustache was weird.
trollface273
Since the origami Yoda series is over, can you give us the instructions, please?
TomAngleberger
Which instructions? Have you checked the how to page?
Quigamijin
i think you should make a book of starwars charecters and highschool
TomAngleberger
That could be crazy!
SonOfDarthPaper
Thanks 4 the reply 2 my letter tom! You guessed my favorite part: purple!
TomAngleberger
Glad you got it already!
Quigamijin
hey can you print the instructions for all the other folds of the origami alliance plz you should make it your next book
TomAngleberger
Maybe!
Yoda_Ruler
Tom, ask yoda when the OFFICIAL Lucasfilm trailer for episode 7 will come out. The trailer that I found is a fake one.
TomAngleberger
He says February
jedian
febuary what YEAR
Blaze
Tom Is Micah supposed to be the Dwight of another school?
Quigamijin

TomAngleberger
Not exactly Dwight…. but they certainly have some things in common.
Maybe!
Blaze
I would DEFINITELY read a book on Origami Pokemon. 🙂
Yoda_Ruler
I’ve been reading SF Robby’s. It’s pretty good.
TomAngleberger
Cool!
thekirigamigrevious
Hey Tom will you write a sequel to qwik pick and possibly oy???
SF_Lou
He is writing a sequel to QwikPick.
TomAngleberger
Definitely writing a Qwikpick sequel. In fact…. I just finished a round of edits to it. It will be out in the spring!
RAT WITH THE HUMAN FACE!
SF_Lou
Hey, Tom. I’m following you on instagram. You post stooky things! 😀 I read El Deafo and it is amazing!
TomAngleberger
Instagram is fun!
Thanks for reading El Deafo! I’m glad you liked it! Cece is awesome!
SF_Lou
Fold_OrigamiAlliance
I have proof that Han shot first:
Han shot in 1977, and Greedo shot 20 years later.
Yoda_Ruler
Han shot first.
TomAngleberger
Greedo was killed by a malfunctioning digital watch!
BatMan_Returns
I agree with Tom.
yoda12

TomAngleberger
A member of the 501st! Most impressive!
yoda33

Tom I thought up an idea for an OY EU story where there is an origami Pikachu that gives advice in the form of “Pika!” and an origami Ash Ketchum who decodes it, kind of like the Fortune Wookiee. And it would keep a group of friends from doing foolish stuff on a road trip.
Yoda_Ruler
Isn’t someone already doing an Origami Pokemon story?
TomAngleberger
There’s plenty of room for MANY Origami Pokemon stories!
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
Today’s the anniversary of the Bell-X1’s flight!
TomAngleberger
Nice catch, Chippy! Happy Bell X1 Day!
Yoda1020
Tom you know that thing I told you about the cut out files can you do that I mean you are a great author (plus no one else can draw the doodles like you)
TomAngleberger
Thanks! But you SFs can do just about anything!
Captainawesome
Why is there no SFTZ?(super folder talk zone)
TomAngleberger
Had to be closed due to bad behavior.
Jessenia
Tom, Do you believe in unicorns? So magical
I don’t think they are real, but they are pretty cool.
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Magical Unicorns Flying through the universe!! 🙂
Captainawesome
narrorator: He’s a magical ponie, flying through the sky, on a magical adventure!…
Cheif of Police: Shoot it down!
Wait, are you talking about ponies or unicorns?
Jessenia
Lol
TomAngleberger
I saw a unicorn at the circus once. My mom said it was a goat with one horn missing.
BatMan_Returns
LOL!
Jessenia
HA
jedijoey
Thanks for the drawing Tom!!!!! Really stooky!!!!
TomAngleberger
Glad you got it!
tydafolder223
you should continue the origami series with more sith madnes!!!!!!!!!!!!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
The next book has to be a cover good guy. If you think about it, The cover character goes from good to bad. Art 2 doesn’t count.
Stegon
It doesn’t have to be a good guy. It will be a sequel to the first Origami Yoda series, so it can be a good or bad guy. And I noticed the cover star changing from good to bad too.
Lord_Vader
But Art2 on the back then it can be a bad guy
Yoda_Ruler
Yoda-Good
DP-Bad
Chewie-Good
Jabba-Bad
Leia-Good
Palpetine-Bad
TomAngleberger
I never planned that by the way…. it just happened.
BCube64
Hi tom
tydafolder223
hi
TomAngleberger
hi!
Stegon
HI!
fett
Are there going to be no more Yoda books?!
TomAngleberger
Not right away….
jj
your books are STOOKY
TomAngleberger
Thanks!
Mace_Kendu
Hey, Tom. I’m going to put my poster on sf stookieness. Plz check it. Or whenever time you have. Hope you like it! 🙂
TomAngleberger
STOOKY!
BatMan_Returns
Tom, how did your editor get into contact with Lucas Books? I’m thinkng of making a book called “Star Wars Secrets”. It’s like answers to some questions that fans keep asking. Like who shot first or who is Anakin’s force dad. Of course it won’t be canon since George knows all of the SW secrets… But, I would still make this to see if fans have to agree or disagree on my answers.
Yoda_Ruler
Emporer Palpetine constructed Anakin out of minochlorines.
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Really?? WEEEEIRD!!!
TomAngleberger
It’s pretty tricky, but you would need to pitch your book to an editor first. And the they would know how to take it from there…
wookiewolf
hey tom please bring back the old comment system without your words chosen for you. i miss it or at least tell me why you took it away
OrigamiSensei
I think it was tooken away because people made fun of other peoples stuff.
Yoda_Ruler
Who would do that? Why would anyone come to this site just to make fun of children?
BatMan_Returns
It was a guy named Matt.
SF_PaperDragon
Er, YodaRuler, they guy WAS a kid. And he didn’t make fun of people, he… well, can Tom maybe compile an account based on all the SFs stories so we can have a clear picture? That would help a lot.
wookiewolf
i’m still confused and i still miss the comments and do you think he might bring it back
BatMan_Returns
Tom, who shot first?
Hansel or Greedo?
LOL! Get it?
Jessenia
Heh heh
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Very much LOL
Ben_Kenobi
awesome picture
OrigamiMe
Sick with a cold… ‘sigh’
TomAngleberger
I hope you feel better!
quigonjack
tom whats in the extended addition of emporer pickletine?
BatMan_Returns
What? Where did you hear about that?
Mace_Kendu
WHAT?! What’s the extended version of picketine?!
lizardo
:gasp:
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
WHERE IS THAT BOOK??
TomAngleberger
I think he’s referring to the B&N edition. There is no extra story in it.
Blaze
Hey Tom what’s your favorite doodle you ever made for one of the books? I like Pickeltine in Harvey’s underwear, the squirrels, and the clone trooper yearbook. I also loved the meerkats. 😉
OrigamiSensei
That doodle is my favorite too!
TomAngleberger
Howell as Jabba was the one that really started things.
My other favorites may be when Boba and Bossk talk.
DillonisEpic
hi tom! sorry i emailed ya! didnt know i wasnt supposed to. but, any ways, im sending ya a letter! hope you like it!
TomAngleberger
Thanks!
Mandomaker
Earlier I was wondering if you were going to do the Star Wars questionnaire and you asked what that was.
For details, type in the search box “star wars questionnaire”.
Basically, a youtuber who did star wars geek debates was asked a siries of questions by one of his subscribers and he made a video were he answered them. A while later, another youtuber who I happen to be subscribed to posted his Star Wars questionnaire answers with the added intention of getting a meme going. After that more and more Star Wars fans have posted their own answers to the Star Wars questionnaire and so have I. I was hoping that you and other SF might do the same. 🙂 so, will you consider it?
TomAngleberger
Maybe so!
Origamiguy284
What happened to the superfolder talk zone? I missed quite a bit after not visiting the site for awhile. 🙂
Yodamaster
I don’t really know myself, but making an educated guess, I’m gonna say something was said and it was either taken the wrong way, or it was Harvey-like behavior and caused an uproar of drama, so the Talkzone was taken down before even more damage was done. But again, this is just me taking a quick guess at the matter, as I’ve been away for a while….
Origamiguy284
Maybe I should ask Sherlock Dwight. Thanks for the help! 🙂
TomAngleberger
Bad behavior forced Sam to shut it down,
Wooktent
i thought the “Best” showcase was this week. Is it later???
TomAngleberger
It’s up now!
Jek_14not
Tom, remember the Bean Coverd Yoda? I am making an O.Y EU book which involves Bean Coverd Yoda.
TomAngleberger
COOL!
TomAngleberger
SFs
You asked….
I answered….
Scroll down if you want to read them….
anikanskyfolder123
Tom can you show us how to fold Rocket Raccoon
Captain_origami
Tom, which puppet is going to is the next folding and doodling book that you where talking about when you came Vancouver B.C.? Is going to Cad, Chopper, or maybe Ezra Brigger? (I think that’s how spell it).
Captain_origami
Who thought Star Wars Rebels was stooky?
Yodamaster
It was a lot better than I thought it would be. Tom, are you gonna pick up the DVD?
Yoda_Ruler
I liked it.
Yodamaster
Hey Tom, you have any ideas for an Inquisitor fold?? I’m having trouble myself.
JT
Tom, how do you fold your Rocket Raccoon? It’s so #AWESOME!!!!! Your EZ version doesn’t look NEARLY as good as your final version!
Yodamaster
Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I really wanna know how to make Rocket…I need to start folding more…Maybe for Avengers 2.
TomAngleberger
Thanks, guys!
Now that I have lost that Rocket, it may be tough to figure it out again. But I’ll see what I can do…
Arrow
Do you have a favourite Hat? :3
TomAngleberger
I have had many favorite hats and eventually they just get too grungy to wear anymore…
one of my all-time favorites had Mr Peabody on it. LONG before that movie came out.
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
From the original rocky and bullwinkle?
