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!

Tom, back to the whole thing about “Babe” (the pig in case other super folders don’t know) did you know there is a 2nd!?!? I have not seen it yet so if you have don’t tell me anything.
TomAngleberger
Yes, I have seen it. I will just say that it is not on my list of top movies…
Aidan_The_Aspie
I actually really like the 2nd. Just my opinion!
Jessenia
Tom, do you think dreams can tell the future? Because I just had a dream about Sam being fired. He said it as “not getting BBQ chips anymore”. It was a nightmare. If you think about it, DONT 😯
PauseenP
Dreams can occasionally predict the future. I’ve done it. A lot acctually
BatMan_Returns
My vision about Palpatine being the cover star for book 6 came true…
TomAngleberger
Sam won’t be fired, but he may quit to move on to bigger things…
Jessenia
Okay…
StookyFett
Wha………..?
Brace_Face
hi Tom could you comment on one of my post on the super folder stookiness page
TomAngleberger
I couldn’t decide between Fizzpop and Stooky…. Because I really wanted to say Monsterly Bolt!
Aaronisstooky
Hi tom when r u coming to Tucson az
Bobafettfan5
i found this on the Report a Problem to Webmaster Sam page
DV
2 days ago
Sam we should have a moderated talkzone once a week
I think that what DV said sounds like a good idea. A moderated TalkZone. It would be a thing you should think on, because we need a talkzone, a way to talk to other Super Folders. also origami yoda probally might say ” Save the TalkZone, You Must ” so Save the TalkZone!
Jawafolderz
I agree! I was about to use it when it said that it wasn’t coming back. I never got to use it. Paper towel Jawa sad.
Brace_Face
Well, I kind of agree but I think Tom has some good reasons for getting rid of it.
Jessenia
Yes plz
TomAngleberger
I am seriously thinking about it.
JediknightLuke
I agree! I never got to use the old one.????
StookyFett
Good idea
foldy_wan_x2
cool picture there.
SF_PaperDragon
This is like an out-of-universe Origami Yoda conspiracy theory
http://memegenerator.net/instance/54793689
TomAngleberger
Was that Bill or Ted?
SF_PaperDragon
“Rotobiographical” makes no sense.
TomAngleberger
It does to Data from Star Trek NG!
robin
im tired i need to hurry up and make my team
BatMan_Returns
Oh! I forgot! I have a new theory!
The Van Jahnke Yoda is a 3-D version of Yoda. The Van Jahnke Yoda’s face looks similar to the Cover Yoda’s face. And plus, both have some similarities. W
BatMan_Returns
Sorry. Got cut off. What do you think?
SF_Mega3
Woah!!!
SF_Lou
😯
SF_Lou
More like the cover OY is a 2D version. Well, actually 3D. Hmm
Yaddle
Dur!
TomAngleberger
Maybe…..
BatMan_Returns
o.o
BatMan_Returns
Tom, what’s your favourite EU story and would you doodle on it? Also, can you tell us about Van Jahnke? PS. Is SFCapone 7’s Van Jahnke Yoda the OFFICIAL Van Jahnke Yoda?
SF_Mega3
Seems like it.
SF_PaperDragon
It is now!
TomAngleberger
I think you guys do the best doodles for the EU stories…
It is so similar to the true Van Jahnke, that Van Jhanke himself would be fooled…
sonic12012
How do you fold your gammorean guard?
TomAngleberger
Did you see instrux in Pickletine?
sonic12012
I mean the post one you made with the imperial guard
ORIGAMIYODALT
hey is there going to be a new book
ORIGAMIYODALT
oh well
SF_PaperDragon
Yes actually
TomAngleberger
No…. not anytime soon if ever…. The story continues in the EU though and you can be part of that!
ORIGAMIYODALT
wit the EU
Jawafolderz
Hey Tom, how do you feel about the new movie/series, Star Wars rebels?
anikanskyfolder123
I think star wars rebels looks good
TomAngleberger
I already have Chopper on my iphone case!
SFMichael
Tom are you watching the football game? UD vs. Some college in Virginia,
I’m from DE so i hope we crush you guys >:D
Jessenia
Hah
anikanskyfolder123
LOL
SFMichael
Man, its going into overtime 23-23 i think
TomAngleberger
No, I wasn’t watching…
Diamond_Yoda
Wait… Who is Dave Filoni?
SF_Mega3
The director of The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.
TomAngleberger
Right….
Diamond_Yoda
OMG, that means…
MY inquisitor was sent to the creator of the Clone Wars and Rebels! Tom, I’m in your debt!
Jessenia
Thomas (that sounds funny to me, than tom) , do you ever take the cover stars with you on tours? I was hoping to see/touch the cover yoda XD
SFMichael
I want to do that as well
SF_PaperDragon
I’m not sure his name is thomas. I don’t think Tom is actually short for anything in his case.
Or he just really hates the name Thomas.
Jessenia
He said that his real name was. Thomas, I believe
TomAngleberger
It’s Thomas.
No, I don’t take the Cover Stars on tours…. sorry.
Jessenia
I knew it! And aw…
SF_Mega3
Tom, are you going to the Star Wars Celebration next year???
TomAngleberger
Yes, I should be there with the other Star Wars authors. I’ll be promoting my version of Return of the Jedi!
SF_Mega3
O_O
Origamiyoda180
Hey Tom,when is the next mega doodle?
SF_Mega3
Yeah!!! When is it???
SFRobby
I want to know the date and time and central time.
SF_Mega3

Jessenia

SFRobby
Pikachu would be catching Ahs with a Pokeball!
SFRobby

TomAngleberger

sfdwighttharp
Tom will you come to a BarnesandNoble in Austin, TX? they have a Star Wars Read Day there.
TomAngleberger
That would be cool, but I’m doing Star Wars Reads Day in NYC.
sfdwighttharp
Awww.
origamiyodafan10
Hi «·_·»
sfdwighttharp
Why Tom why does Pickletine have to be the last book? 🙁 Origami Yoda is better than Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Yoda1020
Yeah it is maybe sam could continue the series if you dont want to or maybe I could I have an Idea for the origami yoda series. it could be series 2 and the main characters could be toomy and sara, kellen and cassie, harvey and pipers children what do you think?
sfdwighttharp
I haven’t read Pickletine yet so who is Piper?
Anakin_Skyfolder
Jen’s friend.
sfdwighttharp
Cool.
TomAngleberger
That’s nice of you to say. But Dwight’s story is finished…. for now.
BatMan_Returns
Could you call this a “Talk to TomZone”? I feal this is still a talkzone except we only talk to you. :/
Jessenia
TomZone. Lol.
TomAngleberger
Is that Eastern Tomzone or Central TomZone?
SFMichael
Do more mega doodles 😀
TomAngleberger
I will!
Jessenia
Ooh! You know how we (always) wanted a SUPERFOLDER convention? It’d be so cool!! We meet somewhere (somewhere that is really fun, not just because one SF lives close by or something) maybe get a hotel, do some origami, do awesome stuff!! SFs on the site can meet up and see the real us!! How cool would that be :3
SF_PaperDragon
I wish. 🙁
SF_MyrMyr
Yeah! Except some SFs live far away and will get left out
SFMichael
SFRobby had that idea i think
SFRobby
Yes. Yes I did.
Jessenia
I had that idea a while ago too. Lots of People have that idea.. BUT IT HAS TO BE SOMEWHER- (sorry for caps) somewhere… In the middle if USA?
SFRobby
How about Philly? I’ve been there once. I stayed at a nice hotel near Penn’s landing. I could see the Franklin bridge lit up at night and I cold see New Jersey. It was beautiful.
SF_Mega3
Well, there might be a convention center in Virginia. Or Tom can just come to next year’s SW Celebration!!!
Jessenia
@mega But I mean somewhere where we can all just hang out with him, exploring the city, then have hotel rooms. Then we go home the next day.
Philly sounds nice. Or New Jersey. There are some nice hotels there, and it’s so comfy
SF_Mega3
But Tom can apply for a fan table at the event so that we can just hang out!!!
Jessenia
I don’t mean it as an event, I just mean like a hang out day…
Just different ideas. I REALLY hope tom would do this!! We all deserve it
SF_Mega3
Yeah!!! Here ya go!!!
http://www.starwarscelebration.com/Events/Fan-Tables/
BatMan_Returns
I live in NJ! And guys, this is kinda becoming a talkzone comment…
PauseenP
How about Texas?
TomAngleberger
Meeting up at Celebration would be AWESOME!!!!!
BUT…. expensive…
Yoda1020
Tom in all the years what is the best origami star wars creation thats been made
SFRobby
The yoda on the cover.
TomAngleberger
That’s impossible to answer….
But I think Chris Alexander’s Millenium Falcon is a really beautiful fold…
And of course…. the Kawahata!
Jessenia
Tom, what are the out of the country visits you taken? I think you visited Europe once, am I right?
Jessenia
*visited
TomAngleberger
Canada x 5, England for a book tour, Cayman Islands Childrens Book Festival.
May be going to Germany next year…

I was wondering that too…

Mudkip is a Pokemon, and he is also an Internet meme. He is the water starter of the Hoenn region.
By the way, the Hoenn games are getting remade! OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire!!!!!!
TomAngleberger
Oh…. thats where I know that name from!
Brace_Face
Fun Fact: Tom, did you know that both me and StookyFett both speak Japanese? We’ve been learning since we were 5!

have you played the force unleashed 1or 2
BatMan_Returns
Tom, can you fold this Foldy-Wan: http://origamimayhem.wordpress.com/2014/09/21/foldy-wan-instructions/
BatMan_Returns
Isn’t it bad that we are getting Submissions faster? Before people start shouting cuss words out me, if submissions are being posted quick, that means less people are submitting things. Less submissions, more time for origami to be posted!!! We even have SF’s who make acounts and don’t post anything!!! *Cough*GenericUserName*Cough* They just waste time! Ever since the troll attacks, alot of things went down hill. We lost a lot of SF’s!
Lose alot of SF’s= Less Submissions= Make site boring
We also get a few submissions for Showcases!!! We only get like 10 and 12 submissions! For the food Showcase, we had like 20! Can you at least return the comments for stookiness? This site seems like it’s run by robots! (No offense) We can’t tell SF’s what they can do to make their doodling and folding skills improve! And what happens if we have questions? Like “Is there another way of folding this?” or “What type of markers and color pencils did you use for this doodle/drawing?”. This site was at 10!!! Now it’s at 6… I’m sorry if your mad, but….. :/
SF_PaperDragon
Submissions do not make one great. Cough cough. Search my name.
SF_MyrMyr
Agreed with Paperdragon.
YodaFan07
I agree with you, BR.
Origamimaster1010
Guys, I’m sorry I have been mean to you all lately. Its just… my best friend died in a car crash a few days ago. 🙁
SFBENkenobi
Dont worry mon we’ll always be here for you
Origamimaster1010
Thanks. Heres the whole story. (I am just a kid. 10 years old) He was with his family driving to Walmart when all of a sudden, a drunk driver pulled out and they were going 55 miles per hour that they crashed and my friend and his family died. I miss him. 🙁
Origamimaster1010
I don’t know if its on the news.
BatMan_Returns
I’m so sorry. 🙁
Origamimaster1010
Its ok. At least he is in heaven. He always helped me. He defended me when a bully was being mean to me. 🙁 I miss him so much.

Origamimaster1010

sfdwighttharp
Im sooooooooo sorry and Lord_ Vader he should talk with Soapy or Quavandos grandma! Im 🙁 for you

SF_GravityDefyer
Hi Tom 😀 do you remember me?
TomAngleberger
Alrighty, just answered a bunch more questions. So scroll on down.
And a reminder: The reason that there is a long wait for your submissions to be posted, is that many other SFs have already submitted theirs. It’s a line. You just have to wait a bit.
The good news is the line is finally getting shorter! Soon there may be very little wait!!!
yodamanbro
I just posted my TOTALLY SPOONS GREEDO and stormtrooper did you see it?
