Origami Yoda

Talk to Tom

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:
qp2
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!

TomAngleberger


One… your BEST

MasterFoldrGrievous


i know that you only said one but i am having a REALLY HARD TIME deciding what to put for the BEST showcase. so could i just cram 2 into one picture? Please?

Brace_Face


use a photo editor to create a collage of pictures that only takes up one picture

TomAngleberger


A collage is fine…. as long as it is ONE picture.

MasterFoldrGrievous


WAHOO!!!

SonOfDarthPaper


Tom, have you ever REALLY made a chap-stick rocket?

SonOfDarthPaper

TomAngleberger


Maybe……

Diamond_Yoda


Hmmm… Sounds interesting… And some-what cryptic

King____Joel


Has my Han foldo showed up yet for the Best Showcase?

TomAngleberger


If you submitted it with the word best….

BlacksmithFolder


Hey Tom, I’m the one with the YouTube cover yoda superfolder. I was wondering, when you asked me to post a picture of it and a link to the video, how do I post it, and where do I post it?

TomAngleberger


Use the SUBMIT page

SF_Joel_Skyfolder


Tom, can you let Webmaster Sam update the site so we can take videos instead of just pics. This way, we don’t have to resort to youtube. I mean, we only get 2mb to post stuff. Here’s my point. LET US ADD VIDEOS TO THE SITE AND GIVE US MORE MB!!!!!!!!!

BlacksmithFolder


I agree with you on that one. I think it would be nice be able to post videos instead just pics. Please let us post videos. (what does MB stand for?)

King____Joel


Woah we have the same name

StookyFett


We could post video instructs!!

TomAngleberger


Can’t do it…. We’ve already got so many photos we had to pay for more bandwidth….

OragamiPro37

SF_Mega3


Click on that Art2 button on the right that says “Superfolder Submit”

OragamiPro37

Claire

Foldywan21


U didn’t miss any thing .

SF_Mega3


I think it’s too late… :/ You can still submit your stuff for the new showcase!!!

Brace_Face


Yes Claire, of course! it just wont be in the old snack showcase!

Foldywan21


Are u sure! Every one is still doing Pickletine stuff and if it is done then I missed it to!!!! Nnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SF_Mega3


You CAN still make Pickletine stuff, it’s just that it won’t be in the showcase or the book because it’s too late and Pickletine has already been published!!!

Foldywan21


Okay so I guess I can say yes and no!

TomAngleberger


Sure, post anytime!

Foldywan21


Ya!

Foldywan21


Hey Tom it’s me again. I have a question for you. Do you know how to make the real origami Yoda if so post it please your my only hope!!!!!

Brace_Face


No. he does not. but check out youtube! 🙂

Foldywan21

TomAngleberger


No I don’t////

Jessenia


Awww tom you actually cried for EP?!? Aw… That makes me sad… And makes me say aw… Aw….

Foldywan21


BARF!

Brace_Face


Come on, Foldy Wan 21, I did get upset a little when i finished pickletine! lighten up a little, man!

Jessenia


That was kinda rude Foldy… I cried so much

SFRobby


I felt exhilarated and exited. It’s said that the series wasn’t over!

SF_MyrMyr


SPOILER

Foldywan21


Sorry

Foldywan21


Sorry jessenia it was just a little dramatic but I’m really sorry for being so rude

Brace_Face


I was wondering if you still had the original art of pickletine saying “heh heh heh” and if you did then could i maybe have it ? also, if you could put up a picture of the origami __________ (its a surprise) that i sent you so i can see what condition its in that would be plastic dinosaurs! (but id like you to keep it) thanks tom!!!

Snoopygirl11


Brace I can’t wait to see your origami but almost 100% of the time Tom will not give away the original art of his book. Sorry and can’t wait to see that origami!

SFMichael


Snoop he gives them away on tours

Jessenia


91 percent he WILL. He gives them on tours, through mail… If you say that you are a SF, of course. Check when other SFs met Tom. You see lots of original art. (I have some :3)

PS- using the new io8! Confusing

Brace_Face


Thanks jess

Brace_Face


Or tom any original drawing of pickletine would be stooky! thanks! 😉

Jessenia


No Problem

TomAngleberger


I do give away some original art…. usually in person!

Brace_Face


Oh ok……

Origamiyoda123456

TomAngleberger

Jessenia


What if Tom just suddenly posted about a new book is out without warning us? Like it was a secret book that only his publisher and him know. I WANT THAT TO HAPPEN

SF_Lou


:mrgreen:

Claire

Foldywan21


That would be the BEST!!!!!! I wonder if he will do that?

Brace_Face


Probably not. Unless……………………..

Foldywan21


I think he is!

StookyFett


THAT WOULD BE STOOKY!!!!!!!!!

LividJawa

TomAngleberger

Yaddle

Claire

TomAngleberger


Jason has done all the covers for the series. He’s awesome!

He also did the tiny drawings next to the page numbers.

All of Kellen’s doodles are by me, though.

origamimaster2004

Foldywan21

stookyyoda5


Hey, Tom. Have you ever read The Adventures of Tintin? It’s by a guy named Hergé. They are really good!!!!! And when you are done with a book or two, you can watch the movie!!!!!!!! It’s by the same name, and it’s directed by Steven Spielberg, so you KNOW it’s good!!!

TomAngleberger


Of course! I love Tintin!!!!!!! #TeamSnowy

stookyyoda5


Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s my all time favorite move/graphic novel/series (besides OY) ever!

Claire


I’ve seen the movie and read some of my friend Julin’s books

and they are stooky!!

Foldywan21


It’s STOOKY!

Yaddle


Tintin books are TOTAL ROCKETS!!!! My mom agrees.

StookyFett


Tintin books rule!!! My favorite is The Red Sea Sharks!

stookyyoda5


My favorite is either Flight 714 ,or Red Rackom’s (did I spell that right?) Treasure.

TomAngleberger

TomAngleberger

AscajjV22

Plokoon22

Unknown236


Ahem,this is not a talk zone

TomAngleberger


True, this is sort of TalkZonish….

However, I DO! I love Greedo!

Jessenia


Tom, have you heard of the youtubers Rhett and Link? If not, you should watch their “show”. I like it ^_^ I also watch Tyler Oakley

Or you don’t watch YouTube?

SFMichael


Good Mythical Morning? I love that show.

I’ve been watching them for like 5 years.

Their main channel is really good too!

TomAngleberger


I’ll check it out…

Jessenia


Gooooooood Mythical Morning! Yeah I’ve been watching them for a while now

SF_Mega3


Tom!!! Look!!! WatchDisneyXD has Star Wars Rebels Episode 2!!! Don’t worry!!! It’s Disney’s official website!!! GO WATCH IT!!!

watchdisneyxd.go.com

TomAngleberger


Cool!!!

OragamiPro37


did you mean to say: “STOOKY!!!”, Tom?

origamiman1234


Hey Tom num. 1 thanks for putting me in credits of picketing num. 2 I am coming to star wars read day

TomAngleberger


In NYC???? That would be cool!

I hope everybody goes to their closest Star Wars Reads Day event wherever they ae, too!

Spazatron


Hi, Tom, or any1 else that reads this, I was wondering if any other origami Yoda books will be written. even though Dwight gave him away in the last book. I’m hoping this for 2 reasons, 1. It made be feel kind of sad when Dwight gave away Yoda and I wanna read more about Tommy and Harvy and every body else. 2. I just became a super folder and I want my name to be a book, but the main reason if the first one. I hope you respond or write an other book. If you need some ideas I would LOVE to see my idea on one of your books. you don’t need to respond because if you write a new book ill be happy. thank you for your time

From Spazatron

ROPTheImmortal


SPOILER!!!

And for the time being (unfortunately) he doesnt have anything planned. But, head over to the origami Expanded Universe and submit a story and consider it a continuation to the official plotline. With this, OY is never ending!

SF_Mega3


Yep!!!

TomAngleberger


Thanks, I’m glad you’ve got ideas! And the EU is a great place to share them. (Or this site, too, if you want.)

One thing, though, I’m not going to be able to let you keep that Username.

“Spaz” is an ugly word, often used to demean people with epilepsy, autism and other situations.

So go ahead and sign up for a new account and Sam will be closing this one.

nickthefolder


Tom my Han that you took a picture of do I have to repost it

It’s my best piece btw

TomAngleberger


Please get a really nice photo of it and repost it!

Brace_Face


So tom… did you get my letter yet?

Lord_Vader


or mine? Or Both?

TomAngleberger


I’ll be answering mail soon, so I’ll be on the lookout!

Brace_Face


Super Stooky!!!!!!

BlacksmithFolder


I just made a “how to” video on how to fold my very own design of the cover yoda and I’m posting it on YouTube. It’s not exactly like the cover yoda, in appearance, it looks similar, but the folds are totally different.

TomAngleberger


Awesome!!!!!

Post a picture of it and a link to the video!

BlacksmithFolder


It may take a while. But I’ll try.

BlacksmithFolder


I don’t know how to. And where will I post it?

SF_Skyfolder


rancor instrux are awesome but can you make them more clear. and can you make a surprise instrux a month request thingy. i mean to post a new instrux every month

TomAngleberger


New instruc every month…. alright I’ll try.

The Rancor is sort of like a puzzle. Make those cuts and then solve it…

Aaronisstooky


When is the final oy activity book gonna be out

TomAngleberger

Aaronisstooky

And Myr this is the skin I made for you!

TomAngleberger


Sometimes…. but most of my ideas are going into my new books right now. (hopefully)

Darth_Lukeious111


Everything is stooky!

Garfield’s bear is Pooky!

I’m not really that far, but

If you say the last line again, you’ll sound like Jar Jar! What?

If you think this is cool, Tom, say Fizzpop!

Wooktent

Yaddle

TomAngleberger
