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!

TheGolfingBeatle

Yaddle

TomAngleberger
The last names of most characters are given.
Tater Tot’s real name is T. Golfing Beatle.
sfdwighttharp

jedijoey
So…where do I start…..I’m not going to be on a lot anymore. I just came back today, and the SFTZ is gone. Will someone PLEASE explain what happened?
SF_Mega3
A former SF pulled a big prank on us, making some of us (including me) angry, so the SFTZ was closed. In 4 words:
We really blew it.
SF_Mega3
But… TOM SAID THERE WILL BE MODERATED SFTZ EVERY WEEK!!!
jedijoey
I shouldn’t of left.
SFMichael
mega it wasn’t just him, it was everyone
jedijoey
Plastic Origami Dinosaurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SF_Mega3
@Michael I know!!! That’s why I said WE!!!
jedijoey
And I guess I shouldn’t really ask who……
SF_WombatTent
It was all Matt’s fault he was a big jerk according to everyone and he ruined I mean DESTROYED everyone’s feelings glad I wasn’t there it sounds like it was a pretty big deal.
SFRobby
It was the peacekeeper. Let’s just say that.
SFRobby
Thanks wombat tent. I was trying to say it so it wasn’t directly at Matt. But you had to say Matt was a jerk. He wasn’t. He just did something he though wouldn’t be too bad. Then we made a big deal out of it.
SF_WombatTent
Your welcome.
SFRobby
I was being sarcastic.
SF_WombatTent
Well I stole your face.
SF_WombatTent
No QWER.

jedijoey
Hmmm…. how long does it take a letter to get to New York than Virginia?
stookyorigamimaster

TomAngleberger
It’s complicated. But please allow 6 months for a reply
Lord_Vader
Tom, have you got my letter? Are you also going the UT anytime soon? (If you are, is it going to be northern or southern UT?)
TomAngleberger
Not yet.
Noy likely. I went to UT for Jabba and won’t be back for awhile
Oakheart
Tom when will you be in Wasington DC
TomAngleberger
Dec
jedijoey
Tom, I haven’t came on in awhile. I missed alot. Can someone please tell me what happened? Oh: Mr. Howell’s Art Class of Terror! by Joey (my last name here) After a terrible education program comes to school, Mr. Howell must do something (but you can read Jabba the Puppet for that). But when it is defeated, the school is short on teachers! They stick Howell into the art room, and he can’t escape. He has to survive everyday, for he has to deal with me, Kellen Campbell.
TomAngleberger
Wow! howell as an Art teacher!!!!
BatMan_Returns
Tom, are you going to do a Halloween showcase?
SF_Mega3
That would be awesome!!!
TomAngleberger
YES!
quigonjack
Tom, I always have trouble finding my comments to see if people have replied. maybe sam could add a place on TTT where you can search your name and all of your comments will show up.
Oakheart
Yeah!
StookyFett
Very useful idea.
TomAngleberger
Great idea, but I don’t think he can do it….
quigonjack
can you add a home button to the menu Tom?
SFMichael
There is… Click origami yoda title on the top of the page
SFMichael
TomAngleberger 19 MINUTES AGO
Dude, the Smithsonian is ot that far from Delaware…. come on down!
———-
It’s a 2 hour drive :I
I live near the top of Delaware…
Jessenia
I drove two hours to meet tom. :/
TomAngleberger
That is a long way….
StookyFett
….But worth it.
SFRobby
Tom did you use WordPress to make this site like you did with the old one? Or did you make this one from scratch?
SFMichael
It’s wordpress…
Sometimes when it’s loading the web address says wp.me
So does wordpress blogs
SFRobby
I’m asking Tom.
SFRobby
And I’ve never seen this site do that.
TomAngleberger
WebBuilder Gordon made this using WordPress…
lukeskyfolder9
Tom I posted how to fold your own Luke skyfolder on my youtube channel the Diamond Empire
TomAngleberger
Cool!
JediknightLuke
Are you ever going to come to Washington?
TomAngleberger
DC? Yes…. Seattle? I’ve been there before, but won’t make it back for awhile…
JediknightLuke
Oh I’m not in D.C. I live by Seattle.????
JediknightLuke
Oops typo at the end didn’t want the ????s
SF_Lou
Yeah! Come to WA! Please!
JediknightLuke
PLEASE come to Washington!!!!!!!!!!
JediknightLuke
Can you post instrux for more Star Wars characters?
TomAngleberger
I’ll be posting The Rancor soon! Meanwhile, just type instrux in the search box and you’ll find kamillions of instructions!
Oakheart
What happened to SFTZ?
StookyFett
It would happen sooner or later. 🙁
SFRobby
Tom, can we have a page where we are only allowed to talk about the books and nothing else?
Oakheart
Yeah
TomAngleberger
You think people are going to follow that rule, when they wouldn’t follow simpler rules like “Be Nice?”
DarthHayden
I don’t think they would.
Tiernan
good point
SFMichael
TomAngleberger 1 HOUR AGO

But then I realized it’s Washington, D.C.
Oakheart

TomAngleberger
Dude, the Smithsonian is ot that far from Delaware…. come on down!
Oakheart
Is the Smithsonian in DC
BatMan_Returns
Tom do you have to pay to go to the Star Wars Reads Day thing in October? I really want to meet you!!! I kinda doodled in the DV,FW, and Artoo book in the parts where your supposed to sign… But, you can sign my Jabba the Puppet and PL!
TomAngleberger
No, it should be free…. but it would be nice if you bought a book to support the store… Doesn’t have to be one of mine.
Hope you can come!!!
Koopa
Tom, pls create more Origami Yoda books, pls!!!!!! PLS DAT WOULD BE PIKPOK PETE11!!!!11!!!!
Aidan_The_Aspie
I don’t mean to be rude, but Pikpok Pete means Not Awesome. Try, Stooky! or PASTIC DINOSAURS! or TOTAL ROCKETS! I just want to remind you. You may hurt someone’s feelings if you use Murkyisms incorrectly. Thanks!
Jessenia
Meeting up at Celebration would be AWESOME!!!!!
BUT…. expensive…
———–
What if all the SFs that are going, has to pay (to chip in on costs) and that’s their “ticket”. Then other costs…. I dunno…
TomAngleberger
It would cost a LOT to go to Celebration. I’m lucky because my publisher pays for my trip. Otherwise….
Jessenia
Awww. 🙁 so sad
TomAngleberger

TheGolfingBeatle
Hey Tom, just curious: who are your favorite bands/musicians?
Stass_Allie
Tom, in every case file, there is a sticky note-sized piece of paper at the beginning with Kellen’s doodles on it. Recently I noticed they all have the exact same creases on them. What is the end result if you fold the origami that makes those creases??? A star maybe?
TomAngleberger
The Van Jahnke Yoda?
SFMichael
I noticed that a long time Ago as well
It folds a bird base
Stass_Allie
Thank you!!!
StookyFett
Do you think there could be any more hidden origami?
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
Tom! Sf Carl from the old site is BACK! (As The_Carl_Marx)
TomAngleberger
Welcome back, Carl!
PauseenP
Did Sam help write Rhondella’s (I think it was her) chapter in Art-2?
TomAngleberger
No, but maybe I should get him to write something sometime.
Jessenia
I got confused when Rhondella’s advice came up, on taking pictures of taking origami…
YodaFan07
Who likes Pringles?
