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

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!

TomAngleberger
Hoping to do another set this week!
OrigamiMe
Also, have you heard about the Star Wars 2015 LEGO sets? They’re AWESOME!
TomAngleberger
No! What are they?????
OrigamiMe
They’re here – lego.wikia.com/wiki/2015 Scroll down to the Star Wars section, and they’re there. There are also individual articles about most of them.
quigonjack
there going to be awesome!
OrigamiMe
Yes, they are! I like the DC ones more, though. Mainly because they introduced lots of new figures, and I collect the figures.
OrigamiMe
Tom, will there be a moderated SF TalkZone? You could have it be open only when you or Sam are there.
OrigamiMe
Never mind, I know the answer. Sorry!
TomAngleberger
We might…
BatMan_Returns

Stegon
Tom I also figured out how to fold origami Bulbasaur and Charmander finger puppets! And your Easter bunny instrux is also good for folding Pikachu!
TomAngleberger
AWESOME!! Posting them?
Stegon
Yep! I’ll write out the instrux for Charmander and Bulbasaur and instrux for the Pikachu modification and post them when I get some free time.
Jawafolderz
Hey tom, I just found your Star Wars origami book and I realized how complex it is. Jawa and I were shocked. Will you another one including the new origami in the origami yoda books?
Jawafolderz
I meant to say, will you make other with the origami rebellion and other new ones?
TomAngleberger
The Star Wars Origami Book is by my friend Chris Alexander, who is a MUCH better folder than I am!
Stegon
Tom what is your favorite Star Wars movies in order of best to worst? And I submitted my BEST paper airplane Indiana Jones and some Kanan Jarrus instrux.

TomAngleberger

QuigonFold101
I want to tell u how I made Qui-Gon Fold
TomAngleberger
Great! Submit it and I’ll check it out!
DarthNoah
Reason is, I have a super secret surprise to show you, and I need to really soon…
TomAngleberger
Cool!!! Submitting it is the quick way. Snail mail is the SLOOOOOOOOOW way.
DarthNoah
I’m just saying, it’s top secret, and I don’t want everyone to know about it yet.
sf_timothy1
Hi Tom, what project are you going to work on next?
TomAngleberger
My next two books are:
Qwikpick 2
and
Return of the Jedi
I need to do a little more work on each of them!
Stegon
Stooky! Return of the Jedi is going to be epic! It’s my favorite episode! And I got Qwikpick a little while ago from the library and I can’t wait for the next one!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Wait, Return of the Jedi, the movie novel, or another OY novel?
DarthNoah
Tom, how long, aproxamently, does it take for you to receive snail mail? I am thinking about mailing you something, but would email be quicker?
TomAngleberger
Answer above
MasterFolder_John

Pickleteen

TomAngleberger
HANDO!!!! That was COOL!!!
Rebeljedi
Tom, I figured out a way to make Origami Yoda folding the hand, but it is not exactly the cover Yoda because it is a variation of the EZ Yoda. Also, I made a Luke almost exactly like the one in Jabba the Puppet, but I forgot how to make it.
TomAngleberger
Sounds awesome! You’ll submit them, right?
Sisterofafolder
Tom thank you so much for the books. My little brother loves them so much that is like all he reads he and his friend have a folding day that they just fold. He even has an origami club. Every time I see him he is folding so thanks again for the books they mean a lot to him????
TomAngleberger
AWESOME!!! Thanks for writing and say hi to your brother for me!
jediluke321
Tom, could you add new things to the How to Fold area?
TomAngleberger
Yes! How about it Sam?
jediluke321
Tom, I have invented 2 of my own folds for Yoda! I posted a picture of one for the contest, nut not the other. I don’t think I will because he is a little simple.
TomAngleberger
Okay…. sounds good!
starwarstwins7
TOM!!! Okay so here’s the deal, we are actually a pair of twins. This is twin #2 typing here. I need to ask you something, well you see in Pre-k at the end of the year we had little notebooks for people to sign and in the inside cover someone had written this : “To Elena, I love you. please marry me. Love your secret admierer.” I think it might be this boy named Fred who had a crush on me and all the other girls. [But especially me ] Plus his handwriting matched the note. So what I want to know is who done it ?
TomAngleberger
Sounds like Fred…. but if you never wrote back he may have given up!
SPArman
🙁 its over
TomAngleberger
NO, it’s not over!
SPArman
I HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR THE SHOWCASE SORRY FOR THE CAPS IM JUST SUPER EXCITED
Claire

Wooktent

SF_PaperDragon
Hey Tom! I accidentally made the title Chapter Four because I’m on it currently but it’s chapter 3. Actually i wrote chapter four pretty fast, have less than a page to go.
I make minor edits so after chapter five ill send you the whole book up to that point.
TomAngleberger

You asked about Ella and the commenting… she can comment! Thank you very much for doing that! It’s just she’s been busy and doesn’t comment as much because of that. I wanted to let you know. 😉 (And a “hi” to all the SFs.)

Tom have u seen sw rebels its the best!!!!!!
TomAngleberger
Great!!
wallywestflash
Hey tom is star wars rebels some thing i should consider watching or not?
Wooktent
NO DON’T TRUST DISNEY WITH STAR WARS!! THEY WILL AND ALREADY HAVE RUIN EVERYTHING!!!! DON’T TRUST THEM!
wallywestflash
The reason i asked was because i thought that disney could kill starwars but my little brothers said it was cool
Stegon
Yeah it’s epic! You should probably at least watch the Spark of Rebellion pilot.
Chris24
I have some mixed feeling about it…
TomAngleberger
I haven’t seen it yet.
Disney makes all kinds of great stuff! And so many of the REBELS writers were Clone Wars writers…
DarthNoah
Yeah! Ahem, Wreck It-Ralph, Frozen, and they are coming out with Big Hero 6, which looks stooktacular!
night_stalker53
And you notice that Disney made ALOT of stuff since they bought star wars to.
Ecko123
What would happen if Pinocchio says, “my nose will grow now.” I have a feeling he would explode… Its not possible for his nose to grow or not grow.
Ecko123
thats a version of the liers paradox. its where you say something like “I’m lying”. Its not possible because if he’s lying than he’d be telling the truth but then that means hes not lying and than nothings possible and you feel like your head is going to explode.
Wooktent
I Love thinking of paradoxes! Like if you went back In time and killed your mom, then you’d never been born, then you’d never been born to kill your mom so now she’s alive, but now so are you and you kill your mom etc.
Ecko123
Yeah! Another name for that is the granfathers paradox, which is pretty much the same thing, but it can be changed to a different thing like doing something to make a person decide not to become a miner to mine the materials that would be used for the time machine. can you think of any other paradoxes Tom?
Wooktent
Good one!
Lord_Vader
You go back in time with a banana pie. You throw at someone. He falls and kills the banana tree you got the banana from. So the pie never existing so the tree did not die so you have the pie throw it kill the tree and it goes on and on and ON
Lord_Vader
existed*
Wooktent
You got that from a book
Lord_Vader
Yes
Wooktent
Captain underpants
Chris24
Book 10
TomAngleberger
Martin Gardner has a great book on paradoxes called AHA! Paradox.
Claire
You go back in time and kill your younger self.But then you couldn’t go back in time but if you didn’t go back in you wouldn’t have died…P.S.You should read When You Reach Me.It doesn’t seem like a time travel book but the end is so stooky!
tynamonZ
