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: 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!

YES Star Wars Rebels is starting soon!!! Tom are you excited???
TomAngleberger
Excited…. but can’t watch it. No cable…. (And I will never get cable again if I can help it…)
Yodamaster
It was an acceptable expansion of the franchise. I think it has the potential to be good if they do it right. The premiere really mixed the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil was really well. I’m excited to see the Inquisitor in action!!
Yoda_Ruler
And it’s more suspenseful than the clone wars because the characters were never seen in the original trilogy so they could die at any time.
kirojay
never mind about the submit the origami thing. I’ll post my origami tommorow
SF_MyrMyr
I won’t be able to submit in time for the showcase D*;

Tom, do you read The Hero’s of Olympus series? If not you should. If so, I finished The Blood of Olympus 2 days after getting it.
P.S. I finish YOUR books in like 1 day! They rock!
P.P.S. I read insane amounts! Some Harvey’s ( not on this site ) make fun of me, but I ignore them!
TomAngleberger
No, don’t EVER listen to non-readers who think you read to much. Reading is (1) amazing and (2) your ticket to doing something amazing with you life.
OrigamiMe
Very true.
SWF12
Amen to that, Tom.
jediluke321
OK!
Yoda_Ruler
I’m going to be an author.

PS: how do you GEt those old collectable thingies? I really liked the Captain Crunch stand up thingy.
TomAngleberger
Hey J!
I’ve had that Capt Crunch so long I don’t remember where or how I got it. A lot of mu stuff is just my toys from when I was a kid. My mother never threw stuff away like a lots of other kid’s moms did.
Jessenia
Wow! All of my things were given away, sadly
skyvader10
Tom, did you know they have Scooby Doo toys at Wendy’s now?
TomAngleberger

Origamiguy284
No racing Velma. They do have the mystery machine! 🙂 don’t tell Dwight,he would freak out. Lol.
Jessenia

TomAngleberger
Love the Jawas!
quigonjack
Tom, what is your favorite rock band?
TomAngleberger
Hard to pick one, but “The Band” is a favorite. They’re the ones that did the album, “Big Pink.” Maybe try their song “The Weight”

I’m back, and Tom I’m making a book called The Wrath of Origami Darth Yoda. It’s about a kid named Eric who has this evil teacher named Mr. Hall or Mr. Evil as Eric would call him. So he comes up of an idea to make an origami yoda, but he didn’t have any green and tan paper. However he does have some red and black paper and he decides to make: Origami Darth Yoda. Eric takes it to school and helps kids to save them from Mr. Evil and hopes to win the battle. Will they win or be destroyed by the menace Mr. Evil? Find out in The Wrath of Origami Darth Yoda.
Claire
My teachers name is Mr.Hall but hes really nice.He uses Minecraft as a learning tool.
TomAngleberger
STOOKY!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
I have a music teacher named Ms. Hall
Brace_Face
Ok tom. When you answer letters this week, look for a stooky letter with an EP I made. Its in my post called stooktacular showcase. its the one on the right side. Thanks!
TomAngleberger
I’ll be looking!
Fold_OrigamiAlliance
Tom, which Doctor is your favorite?
Also, have you seen my time machine? I lost it in 5,000 years.
TomAngleberger
DT for me! Although Tom Baker IS Dr. Who to me. But those episodes seem to move a little slow now that we are used to all that fast action and excitement.
Fold_OrigamiAlliance
David Tennant is mine, too! I think I’m going to start watching the classic series… (I’ve only seen the modern series)
SF_PaperDragon
Hey Tom I invented a prototype for a potential acklay! Then I found out that acklays have six legs and not four and the legs are all the same size/shape. Oh well. At least I perfected my Dalek! Instrux are on their way.
TomAngleberger
Sounds cool!
night_stalker53
Tom, who’s your favorite OY character?
TomAngleberger
Dwight!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Kellen! and Luke

Hey Tom I finshed chapter five!

Personally, I loved proofs…. and getting a firm grasp on logic IS important in real life…. unlike a lot of mathematics.
~~~~~~
I tell you aren’t the math fan by that last sentence XD
Darth_Lukeious111
Tom, do you watch the Voice? #BattlesBegin!
TomAngleberger
No…. I used to watch American Idol a long time ago…. and that was plenty.
TomAngleberger
Hey SFs…. Scroll down if you left questions, because I just left answers….
JT
How do you fold your rocket raccoon, Tom? Not your EZ version. Sorry, but I like your final version WAAAAYYYY better.
TomAngleberger
Thanks! I’ll see about doing instrux….
Mace_Kendu
hey tom did u c my message about the poster?
TomAngleberger
I think so…
SFMichael
Geometry is so hard ;_;
especially because I’m like tommy (not the best math student), I’m not talking about finding area’s of triangles, I’m talking about making proofs… Whichi don’t get how will help us in life -.-

Tom, can you ask Origami Yoda who the next Doctor will be played by?
TomAngleberger
Warwick Davis
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
YES!!!

Cool!

What will this year’s Christmas special be called for Doctor Who?
Diamond_Yoda
Tom, who do you think shot first, Han or Greedo?
SFRobby
Han
SFRobby
George Lucas thinks Han shot first. He even has a Han Shot First t-shirt.
SFRobby
And I think Tom’s awnser from the last time he awnsered this question was Han.
SFRobby
And how could Greedo miss by a whole foot dispite Han sitting two feet way from him?
MasterFolder_John
greedos bullet was closer
SFMichael
Guys Han shot first… You guys sometimes get the feud messed up. So on the original version of star wars IV, Han shot greedo first, end of story. In the remake, greedo shot before han did. That makes the question, who DID shoot first? I say Han because that was the first version of episode IV
TomAngleberger
Han
JT
I have the answer, sort of! George Lucas actually says GREEDO shot first, but the screen blocked it out. HOWEVER, in the actual ORIGINAL script it says Han shot first. Sooooooooo, maybe George Lucas wants to cover up the truth? No matter what George says, I believe Han shot first.
Here’s the link:
http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/wait-what-george-lucas-asserts-that-greedo-always-shot-first/
Mace_Kendu
i saw it. thx JT! greedo shot first, however, he missed and shot the wall. han shot greedo. if u dont believe me, go to the link he posted.
SF_MyrMyr
Greedo
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
It was Han. It even says it eventually in Tom’s books.
JT
Han dodged it at the last second that’s why Greedo missed! You all think he was a terrible shot to have missed by a solid 2 feet, but Han dodged. AND, like I said before, the script where George said GREEDO shot first actually says HAN shot first! SOOOOOO, maybe George Lucas goofed up like he does sometimes? Now I’m not mentioning any names…..*cough*Howard the Duck*cough*….. but I’m getting off topic. HAN SHOT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yodamaster
THANK YOU TOM!!!! HAN SHOT FIRST!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Finally. I hate when people say the revised version is true when it’s total nar nar.
MasterFolder_John
actually, It says in the book, Greedo shot worst.
BatMan_Returns
I shot first. LOL! Get it?
Claire
I took my signed Origami Yoda copy camping but it rained and our rain fly was broken so it got soaked! it dryed but is still pretty wrinkly. I hope its O.K.
SFRobby
You should always check the rain fly.
Bro tip: use magnets for faster drying.
TomAngleberger
Magnets????
Claire, I hope your book dries out nicely!
Claire
We have it under a fan right now!
Yoda1020
Tom I have a idea for the site that you could add
Description: you could do the secret files the Idea is that tommy and kellen could nat add all the files in the case files so they cut it out you could make files that tommy and kellen did not have enough space for the files could take place from case file 1 to the last case file and you could post new files every once or and a while>
TomAngleberger
Cool…. but that is basically what I’m hoping you guys do!
Fold_OrigamiAlliance
I actually planned an EU story based on that…
Fold_OrigamiAlliance
Well, I mean I planned it a long time ago, but I never got around to finishing it.
Plus, Pickletine came out before I could finish it…
Yoda1020
but could you do that plz
Rancor_Lackbar2304
Will there be a next book?

SPArman

quigonjack
I never have been fond of frozen but anna sounds awesome as a jedi. I love your idea! is commander bly going to be in the book?
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Elsa should be in it to! She can be the emperor with her with lightning/freeze powers.
MasterFolder_John
Elsa turns out GOOD unlike the emperor.
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
True, but Palpatine was was kinda a good guy in prequel trilogy.
Diamond_Yoda
Tom, do you remember how to fold the ADVANCED origami Rocket Raccon? Because I want a challenge! Or even better, post both of the insrtux and say for the advanced one “and for the SFs who want a challenge…”
Diamond_Yoda
Also, rebels is on at 9:00 TONIGHT!

TomAngleberger
Well…. if you REALLY want a challenge…. see if you can fold your own Rocket! 🙂
Diamond_Yoda
Nice one… I just got into this. Now everyone will expect me to post a Rocket Raccon. Challenge excepted, Tom!

Diamond_Yoda

SFMichael

TomAngleberger

night_stalker53
I guess the universe has its reasons for that.

Blaze
