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!

Questions:
1. Why didn’t you add extra pages in Jabba the P., PL, and EP teaching us how to draw them?
2. If you were making another activity book, who would be the cover star?
3. When’s the next Mega Doodle?
4. When will you post instructions for Rocket Racoon?
BatMan_Returns
PS. I just saw you as Proffesor Funtime in the showcase post. I hope you get to play him in the Fan Made OY series by JC!
BatMan_Returns
Tom, EP doesn’t really tell us the secret behind OY. It just shows Dwight talking to OY and how Dwight is gong to send OY to Micah. Wait a second… You told us OY’s secret along time ago in the first book where Dwight said he went to Japan.OY was made from insperation from the time Dwight went to Japan! Or was it China?
jedijoey
If you would write a book for the new movie, what would it be about?
jedijoey
Happy Halloween! Have you got my Boussh instrux yet?
Wooktent
I don’t do Halloween. Tom do you know star wars galaxies? If you do, did you play it? If you did or didn’t, do you play the remake (SWGEMU) since the first and real one got shut down?
Jessenia
Happy halloween TOM!

KennythVanEmeralds
When will you start making more instrux and more origami & kirigami and new origami yoda books?
SF_Skyfolder
i think tom said that the oy books are done. hopefully there is a little bit of the story left that tom wants us to figure out in our own books. but i still think there is part of the story that he wants to share officially. like a origami book, doodling book. or a regular oy book. he made the rancor so i am thinking that he might.
Origami_Order_66
No, on the cover of EP, it says the FINAL book in the series :'(. So, Tom will NOT (I hate saying these words in this topic) make any other OY books! (In Darth Paper’s words) “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” BUT…. you probably CAN make it to where it didn’t actually end in your own books. (In I think OY’s (double parentheses, or Tommy’s)) ” THE END THIS IS NOT!”
SF_DarthClone
Happy Halloween! May the F0rce be with you all during Trick Or Treat Time!!!!! Bring your Origami Puppets during Trick or Treating!!!

night_stalker53

kirojay

kirojay
Tom. Don’t u think it would be funny/weird if someone made an emergency yoda that is atom size? LOL
SFTMGames
Tom- Ever have a time when something tiring comes up and it gets worst? I had to run a mile earlier for PE, and I drank a lot of water after, then my PE teacher warns us not to drink too much water. Long story short, I was stuck in the locker room for 10 minutes throwing up water.
SFRobby
You need to eat as as well as drink. If you don’t eat enough, but you try to drink a lot of water, you will puke. But the run also probobly had a factor in it.
SFTMGames
Tom- In Pickletine, I found in the part about the effect of OY, Kellen is wearing a Chopper shirt from Star Wars Rebels!
yodamaster1
Are you still going to write about origami star wars
BatMan_Returns
Tom, my Halloween submission for the showcase isn’t in the preview. And I submitted it a day after Tom posted the showcase news! Did you just post have of it? Or you didn’t see it?
Darth_Lukeious111
Tom, could you ask Kellen if he watched STAR WARS REBELS? The reason I am asking because his puppet, the Wheat Thinsquitor, (before he ate it, duh!) is part of STAR WARS REBELS.
Darth_Lukeious111
The name Insquitor, is part of STAR WARS REBELS. Not Wheat Thinsquitor. ;). Oops.
SFRobby
He didn’t. The EP took place spring 2014. Rebels premiered fall 2014. He had seen the previews and stuff though, which is how he knew who the inquisitor was. When it does premier, he will probobly watch it.
night_stalker53
Unless he saw the tv series first.

Won’t be able to enter this time, Tom
sf_c3p0
Tom, do you have any tips on writing a book?
TomAngleberger
Yes.
Don’t rush. Don’t force yourself to write a certain number of words every day or anything like that.
Don’t focus on getting it published.
Just have fun and see what happens.
Jessenia
Tom: is your and Sam’s lives easier without the SFTZ?
And I need your advice. I found a golfball a month ago, when I was walking to school and tripped and fell over it. On the ground, I knew it was meant to be. So I went to school with the golfball and named him Larry. After that, everything changed. I began to bond with… Someone that.. I.. Eh, I made a new friend sixth grade (im in seventh doe) and everyone asks me about Larry. He’s the star of the school! We even started a club with Larry being the host. We all have names. The members are Larry, Larry (me), Marvin, Phil, Kevin, Pedro, and Bob. Course those are fake names we have. That’s our names now ^_^ girl/boy weird club.
Sounds fun right?!? Not till today.
Well of course, Cesar (someone I kinda like :3) hates Larry. He tries to do very mean things to Larry. He succeeds. today he took Larry from my pocket and rolled him down the block. I chased after Larry, and recieved him. As I was walking back to my patrol spot, he fell from my pocket. I picked him up. Then a co-principal comes out the door and yells “GIVE ME THAT THING RIGHT NOW”
Course I gave Larry. .-. I was very sad. Cesar was even laughing in my face! I went up to her and asked for Larry back later. I have him now! She was proclaiming how it was dumb and useless. I said I used him at recess (which the whole school played LarryRun with him). She said THATS WHERE HE BELONGS, AT RECESS NOT INSIDE. And she caught me outside with Larry! How weird. She said if she sees it again it’s hers.
———–
Okay now that you know the story, should I continue bringing Larry to school without her seeing it, so he can help me make more friends and stuff, or leave him at home? I can get a detention from this, but Larry helps me!! I have a bunch more friends, and I am liked. So hard of a choice… For once I feel like I can be awesome, not just a weird kid. It’s like Dwight and Yoda. Cept it’s a golfball. And it’s Me.
(I wasn’t kidding of how I told you I was the weirdest kid in school)
TomAngleberger
Keep on keeping on with Larry, but keep him out of sight!!!
Jessenia
Thanks, Tom and Moochael. I’ll try the ideas.
Banthafolder
Keep him hidden
MaxReboRules
Tom, do u think u can make an origami dr who series?
TomAngleberger
Why not?
MrAwesome0406
Tom, its me sam from andersons book shop in Naperville, IL I was the one who gave you that princess lable maker and I was hoping you could come back there because when you came I had a blast! (and a good excuse to get away from my sister thanks for that!:)) So would you plz come again? plz respond as soon as you can thx bye
Jessenia
,It’ll be a big while before he comes back. He was just here last month! (I was the person folding giant YODA with him)
TomAngleberger
Well, I will be in Chicago in Jan and will hopefully be able to visit a store while I’m there.
Jessenia
:O OMG HAHH TOM YOU MUST VISIT A STORE
Lord_Vader
Tom, will my showcase submission make it in?
TomAngleberger
If you followed the rules it will.
SF_Skyfolder
tom, i really only watched 1 star wars movie. either the phantoms menace or the 4 one. (forget what it is called). i was wondering what parts are scary in your opinion. i saw a picture of sebastion shaw when he was playing vader with no helmet. that kind of freaked me out the first time. so what is scary in your opinion?
Lord_Vader
A new hope
TomAngleberger
Movie 3 is pretty scary and Movie 5 is scary.
SF_Skyfolder
3 because anakin vader fell in lave and episode 5?
SFTMGames
I guess Empire is a little scary…. My little sis took it in stride, but cringed at a couple parts. III is actually so spooky my dad said that my sis cant watch it till 12 🙁 Its good tho. BTW Skyfolder if you arent sure about a movie, ask your parents to watch the movie first. Also go to commonsensemedia.org for a good age appropriate review of many many filmms.
SFRobby
Empire is scary. Luke kissed his sister. If that wasn’t scary, I don’t know what is.
Pickleteen
Tom, I just made the stookyest cover yoda ever!
