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!

I just noticed the talk zone I have a replacement. THE HARVEY THING where you put complaints instead put comments.
TomAngleberger
Please do not do this. Sam will cry////
Wooktent
And a couple questions… What happened to the talkzone? And who caused it to go away? And why?
SWF12
WELL. A prank. Tom = mad. Sam = mad. Everyone else = miffed. I wasn’t there. I was lucky.
Wooktent
prank???? uh oh what type? anyone know?
emperorpickletine10
no.
Wooktent

SF_MyrMyr
Tom, where do you recommend I buy origami paper from, for an ewok?
SF_MyrMyr
Nevermind. Kim’s Crane has the paper i’m looking for!
TomAngleberger
Great!
SF_MyrMyr
1 ewok, coming up!
SF_MyrMyr
All my best origami is with plain white paper, so I have to make a new piece..
SFJoshua
Can it be one creation or all of our best creations in one photo?
TomAngleberger
Whatever YOU want!
SF_Austin_M
I’m BAAAAAACK! And better than ever! You can bet your baloney I’m gonna send in something for the new showcase. Maybe I’ll pick through my origami box… Either way, I’m back and I’m staying!
SF_MyrMyr
Welcome!
Jessenia
I remember youuu
TomAngleberger
Great! Welcome back, A_M!
Jawafolderz
Tom, I have two questions: 1.will you ever make an app based on the books and/or based on this website? And 2. Do you have any preferences on the showcase, like do you want it to be unused in the books Star Wars or can it be a used one with a twist?
TomAngleberger
1. no
2. Whatever YOU think shows off your work BEST
Me_origamiyoda_cool
Tom,whos Emperor Pickletine?
Darth_Lukeious111
Fruitagmai Yoda’s ENEMY!
TomAngleberger
I wrote a whole book on that subject…
Me_origamiyoda_cool

SFMichael

(Mainly because i started it :P)
I mean wat
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
It is the best… since I made the one on the cover….
TomAngleberger
EU awesomeness!!!!
SFMichael
for the showcase…
when i first saw the picture i thought you had put the official cover there XD
That guy is GOOD
Also i don’t know what to submit to the showcase (these are MY custom designs):
2 headed dragon,
or
USB Drive Holder Ahsoka
Which one tom????
SFJoshua
Ahsoka
Darth_Lukeious111
What SFJoshua said. Ashoka!
TomAngleberger
Ahsoka!
Yes, Samy was great. Then he suddenly quit and we’ve missed him!
Pman8
I’m excited for next and last origami yoda book Emperor Pickletine rides the bus. Will the next book be the sequel to Princess label maker to the rescue?
SFMichael
Emperor pickle tine is the sequel of Princesslabelmaker, and that is a sequel of JTP, and JTP is a sequel of Fortune Wookie, and on and on until it gets to OY
Me_origamiyoda_cool
wo
Darth_Lukeious111
I knew it.(!)
TomAngleberger
Yep!
Copyright66
Tom, does the best showcase have to be Star Wars?
Darth_Lukeious111
I’m guessing no/yes.
TomAngleberger
Nope!
C3PO1
Tom, do you remember me!? I was the guy with the squirrel at Vancouver! (I drove from Washington to see you!)
TomAngleberger
You AND your squirrel and STOOKY!!!!!!
Thanks for coming so far! Hope you had fun!
SF_PaperDragon
I was fooled by that guy’s FW but then I was like, the corners aren’t curvy enough. Who is this guy? He’s good. It’s scary… like the Weeping Angel right behind you.
SF_Mega3
LOL
Jessenia
It fooled me too 😆
Me_origamiyoda_cool
???
SF_PaperDragon
Sorry Jessenia’s leaving… why would you even move to a place so sucky you can’t even afford wifi anyway? 🙁 I don’t think I can enter the showcase… All my best origami is plain white stuff! I’d have to fold one heck of a clone trooper… I came up with a cover Yoda that is super close, but a) it’s white b) I never took a picture and now it’s in storage till I move and c) It’s not perfect. The things on the sides of the ears? Not sure what they’re for but I can’t fold them. So it’s not a complete duplicate. still pretty darn good but it’s not eligible for the showcase and it’s inaccessible at the moment. When I get my hands on some green paper I’ll be sure to fold a Kawahata Yoda. But that will be too late for the showcase. Sorry.
Anyway, I also want to say:
You need to update your WP profile pic. 😆
Jessenia
Aw. Thanks, but it’s due to my mom having a not so good job…
SF_PaperDragon
[Facepalm] I totally forgot about my Pickletine! I can put that in the showcase! I decorated it with a kingsize Sharpie!
Brace_Face
Tom will you please comment on my Art2D2 and C3PO post????Thanks!
Jessenia
It’s funny Tom because almost every comment says “Tom” , when it looks like a Talkzone comment. :3 when will we have the next moderated talkzone
Oakheart
We may never
Jessenia
When do you stop receiving entries for the showcase? Btw the photo rolled me
Jessenia
*fooled
SF_Lou
Can we submit more than one thing if we can’t decide?
StookyFett
I did!
SF_Mega3
Tom, for the showcase, can it be origami that is platinumized (that’s what I call improved)???
Jessenia
You know Tom, I still smile when you reply. Even though I’m used to it. XD everytime.
Jessenia
Hey Tom, do you gte REALLY mad at us? Like mad for the rest of he day… Or do you think about the site sometimes?
I also wonder if peeps from that Naperville event (jeez it was a long drive) remember me. I wanted to chat with them bout te event ^_^
TomAngleberger
Sam does…. whew! He has a temper problem….
Jessenia
Oh. Sorry. Hehehe. But YOU don’t?
Vader

Jessenia

SuperFolder_Zod

SF_Mega3

TomAngleberger
Woah….. that would be sad… but I’m sure you’d end up finding ways to visit us… like school, McDonalds, the library, etc…
SF_Lou

jediluke321

SF_Lou
Tom, I’m following you on Google . (I never post) Your diablo routine was amazing! I have done a little bit of diablo, juggling, and flower sticks. I can also ride a unicycle very well and do some tricks like bunny hops and rocks.
Jessenia
Ikr? He’s amazing! And wow!!! I can’t do any of that XD
TomAngleberger
Cool! I just barely learned to ride a unicycle, but never learned to hop! I wish I could!!!
SF_Lou
Keep practicing! 😀
thechosenone
Tom you know me right? I talked to you and asked questions. If you don’t remember, ask Mrs.hinojosa
TomAngleberger
Hey!!!!
Wicket_13
Dear Tom,
Are you really done writing all the origami yoda books? If not you should write about what happens at Micah’s school when he got origami yoda.P.S. Have you seen my origami millennium falcon? I think it’s STOOKY WITH PLASTIC DINOS!!!
Wicket_13
Oh yeah I almost forgot I live in a Small town in Kentucky
Can possibly sighn books there maybe in Owensboro plz
And thank you
TomAngleberger
Howdy!
I don’t live that far from Kentucky. Maybe I’ll get there someday!
SF_Lou
VOTE ON MY ART CONTEST PEOPLE!!!
ewoktalk.wordpress.com 😀
thechosenone
My brother says your making a new origami yoda series Tom angleberger. Oh, and also when are you doing the next book signing here in San antonio?
TomAngleberger
No, my new series is not an OY series.
Could be awhile before I get back to San Antonio, but I;ll be somewhere in Texas next spring…
Wicket_13
I just made an origami leia with arms and the blaster and I also made an origami
Anakin,Luke ,pad-me and jar-jar. Also I just finished reading emperor pickletine rides the bus and is this really the last book?
Brace_Face
Yes, it is…….
thechosenone
Maybe and Wicket 13 what else did you make?
Wicket_13
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TomAngleberger
Cool! Hope you submit it!
And….yes.
SF_PaperDragon
So Tom… have you seen this post? You might have, I’m not sure.
paperdragonfolding.wordpress.com/tomangleberger
TomAngleberger
Did you see my comment?
SF_PaperDragon
I also am excited for Doctor Glue, although I don’t think the OYEU represents OY as well as it could.
Brace_Face
Brace_Face 4 HOURS AGO Tom if you are still on heres the link to the yoda i asked about.: http://origamiyoda.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/origami-yoda-finally-gets-arms/
TomAngleberger
Wow, that was 2 1/2 years ago…. I barely remember it!
I think there was some funny business on the back of it, similar to the Santa Claus fold. (I notice he has Santa’s feet.)
TheYoda
Hey Tom, if I wrote an OY book, and sent it to you , would you read it?
TomAngleberger
No, I don’t read the EU stuff, because it would interfere if I ever write another OY book myself.
But I read non OY stuff that SFs write!
DillonisEpic
Hi Tom! I got back from School, and i still havent finished my report on origami, BUT, origami yoda has its own paragraph because its what got me into origami! so, thanks for writing, and doodling the books! quick question: why wasnt there a epilogue at the end of emporor pickletine, that explains what happened after the kids grew up?
TomAngleberger
Epilogue…. I considerd this… BUt I’m not sure I’m done writing about them yet…
BatMan_Returns
Wait, Tom, I just found out about Matt’s website, and I just figured out something. He can’t get donations AND write that book. Why?
A)Origami Yoda is owned by you and Abrams.
B)Yoda and all of the characters belong to Lucas Films and Disney.
C) I don’t think Disney would trust some teenager with their characters.
BatMan_Returns
He even CAN’T use the Clone Trooper on the cover! That was made by SF DT A.K.A The stooky SF who made MarvelGami. Matt just used photoshop to make it “Chrome”. >:( When I make a cover for the EU, I always give credit to the person who made the Origami on the cover or I make my own Origami.
Jessenia
A) he can get permission.
B)He can get permission.
C) I dunno.
Just sayin. For tom to seee
TomAngleberger
I’m not sure why he is asking for donations either. And I’m surprised that he used someone else’s origami.
Not sure what’s going on with him….
Gus_Grissom
Hey Tom, will you sue me if I write “ORIGAMI YODA G2”?
Gus_Grissom
… And publish it?
TomAngleberger
I think you should write it for fun and post it so we can all enjoy it!
SWFMax
What happened in the Talk Zone? I know that it got deleted, but why did it get deleted?
anikanskyfolder123
Someone did a prank which made tons of problem
TomAngleberger
Basically:
I told Sam we should allow a certain amount of “drama.”
The amount of drama ended up MUCH bigger than I realized!
TheUnfoldedOrigami
tom i havent been of oy for a while so i didnt catch the “problem”
but still the sftz 🙁 🙁
Jessenia
Heh heh heh me and four classmates read El Deafo :3
Tom, we are wondering, is Cece still kinda deaf? Does it get better?
TomAngleberger
She is still profoundly deaf and uses hearing aids. Her hearing is actually somewhat worse now, I think. BUT…. she still reads lips like a ninja….
Jessenia
Haha
LividJawa
Sorry, Tom sometimes i just do random comments because there is no more talkzone… I will try not to do it again
Gus_Grissom
“IF THE COPS EVER FIND HIM, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY’ll SAY…”
TomAngleberger
Please don’t/
LividJawa
Sorry tom… it was also by 4 other superfolders who are VERY sorry thanks for understanding!
ROPTheImmortal
Tom I have a question.
Even though Sam said my ip ban was apparently permanent because he said there was nothing he could do, but I was wondering, anything is possible right? So, please let me know if you find something or ANYTHING that can help.
(If you were wonderinghow I made this message, I’m at my grandma’s house
TomAngleberger
You have certainly earned the right to be unblocked…. I’m asking
Anakinfan
Tom,will you ever come to Washington?
I wanna meet you.
Gus_Grissom
State or DC?
TomAngleberger
DC in Sept.
State… no plans right now.
