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!

TomAngleberger
Hey SFs! Cool news…. Last night Sam posted the 7,000th Stookiness Submission!!!!
That is a LOT of origami!!!
This site — especially when combined with the old site — is definitely the biggest Star Wars origami collection on the Web and maybe one of the biggest ORIGAMI collections of any kind!

Jamesbond

Mace_Kendu

Froggy
How come my post on cover Yoda didn’t come up yet? I sent it on Monday and some posts were sent today.
TomAngleberger
It takes 3 weeks because there are almost 400 submissions in line. Any time a post goes up right away, it means Sam has made a mistake.
doodlebrine
tom I want you to try starkiller if you do tell how you made it
starkiller1000
Star killer is my favorite character in star wars
TomAngleberger
Cool choice!
If I were making him, I’d probably start with the anything puppet….
doodlebrine
you mean universial?
C3PO1
He yo Tom or Sam this question is for both of you, mainly for Sam…….. Have you two ever tasted……. Ketchup Flvored BBQ chips?! Only available in Canada! P.S Tom when I went to Vancouver to see you on the way home I brought home like 10 bags!
P.P.S I traveled about 150 miles to see you!
C3PO1

TomAngleberger
On my first trip to Canada I ate a LOT of ketchup chips.
We now have them in the US, though!

TomAngleberger
That’s correct, J. I know it stinks, but…. you know why it has to be that way.
Jessenia
Aw. Okay…

starkiller1000
Hi Tom!
This is starkiller1000. Do you know what Star Wars character that is? Are you coming out with a new origami yoda book? If so, I have an idea! you know that tommy and his friends don’t know the address for captain Micah but… If you dident noticed (you probably did through) but remember mr. GCF got the email from the lady with the wet wipes. They could use that and maby be able to contact Micah. I know it’s a lot but it’s an idea.
TomAngleberger
Great idea, dude! It’s up to YOU to write that story, though.
I’ve got Qwikpick2, Return OF The Jedi and a lot more coming up/
starkiller1000
What is this return of the Jedi thing.
Froggy

TomAngleberger
Great choice! I love velociraptors! In fact I bought a toy one for myself as a birthday present!
VELOCIRAPTOR
velociraptor lived in the late cretacaous period and are famous from jurassic park
Lord_Vader
Velociraptors were pretend dinosaurs when the movie(s) were made, but when it was found in Utah, it was called a Utahraptor!
VELOCIRAPTOR
velociraptors and utahraptors are differant
VELOCIRAPTOR
Tom do you like dinosaurs p.s. Pterodactyls are not dinosaurs
TomAngleberger
See above!
SFCammy

MaxReboRules

Lord_Vader

SFMichael

TomAngleberger
Right, SFs aren’t supposed to be talking to each other anymore.
SF_PaperDragon
Hey Tom I’m doing this thing where people send me questions and I make a video that answers all of them. Got the idea from another YouTuber I used to know. If you or the other SFs want to ask me something and I mean like anything at all then tell me here. paperdragonfolding.wordpress.com/askpaperdragon
TomAngleberger
That used to be my JOB for the newspaper! (Except that I wrote the answers) Good luck!
BatMan_Returns
Tom, there’s a new kid in my class, and guess what? He’s read Origami Yoda! But, only the first 3. I told him I can let him barrow my Jabba, PL, and EP since he doesn’t have them/read them. He isn’t a SF though… I’m going to ask him to join! 🙂 His name is Peeer. He came from Connecticut. Have you been on tour there?
BatMan_Returns
*Peter
TomAngleberger

TomAngleberger 16 HOURS AGO
Just to be clear….
If someone asks me a question and you reply to it, then you are chatting. And if you reply to a reply to a reply to a reply — as some of you are doing — then you are REALLY chatting and in danger of being suspended.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What happens if one of us is answering a question?
SFRobby
What if we are adding to the question like this comment I am currently typing?
TomAngleberger
It’s helpful when people genuinely answer a question.
But obviously many of the comments are not doing that.
Sam’s only going to suspend people that are annoying him…
Darth_Lukeious111
[I’ll like to tell you that the picture of you and Vader is FIZZPOP WAFFLES WITH STOOKY PLASTIC DINOSAURS SYRUP ON TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!] What had happened to the GINORMOUS Jabba?
Origamiyoda123456
Awsome
TomAngleberger
The picture of the big Jabba is still around.
The big Jabba was destroyed by a rainstorm at the Decatur Book Festival!
Origamiyoda123456
Tom can I help you on your next book. PLEASE!!!!!!
TomAngleberger
No, but you can write your own Origami Yoda stories!
Lord_Vader
Remember the Adventures of Boba and Bossk
Darth_Lukeious111
Hey, Tom. “I know something you don’t know” about the books and the movies (first part from EPRTB and it’s a Harvey quote!!!). >:)!
TomAngleberger
Well… what is it? I’m curious!
Rhianna
Why cant I leave comments?
TomAngleberger
You ARE leaving a comment right now.
SF_Darth_Jawa
What is your favorite Lego theme besides StarWars? Mine would probably be Space Police3 or agents:)
TomAngleberger
Classic space
TheDarthYoda
Tom maybe you should make another Origami series about….Pokemon!!!!
Then you could do a contest for people to make origami Pokemon and the top 3 winners get to have their own book!! And the other origami gets mentioned in these 3 books like kirigami ewoks ,Admiral Ackbar, and
hando crasillian!!! Sorry if I spelled the name wrong!! So would you consider doing it tom? Please reply!! Cause I have some origami that I want mentioned in a book!! Or you could make a contest for origami of any type to be posted in the NEW Kellen and Dwight How To Do casefile!!!
Also, Tom could superfolders make up their own challenges?? Just like you make up your own. I hope this comment isn’t chatting!!
-TheDarthYoda
Origamiyoda123456
It will be fine.
SFRobby
I’m already making a Pokemon series.
TomAngleberger
Go for it!!!
TheDarthYoda
Tom, I have seen pictures of you and superfolders and I thought they were showcases. So what are they and can you tell me where and when the next one is? Also Tom was I ever chatting in TTT before? Tell me what I did wrong so I can stop doing it!!
TomAngleberger
Oh…. those are bookstore visits or book festivals usually. I am only doing local ones in NOv and Dec, but I’ll be n the road again in 2015. I’ll be going to a LOT of places!!!
doodlebrine
tom I ment about who helped you make origami yoda. I was eager about question. I was your number 1 fan!!!!!!! and I am just a kid who has autism. origami was the first series I loved before minecraft.
TomAngleberger
Well, I was inspired by the Kawahata Yoda, but I folded the Cover Yoda myself.
galem888
