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!
QueenMarci
Tom do you have any suggestions to help me get used to this wheelchair?
TomAngleberger
Hi Marci!
I read about your accident!
You know, I was in a wheelchair for awhile after I broke my leg. (Badly! I had to have a metal rod installed in my right leg)
I know it’s going to be really frustrating for you, but I know you’ll hang in there and that the Force will be with you!
TomAngleberger
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.
TheDarthYoda
Tom I am sending you origami!! I hope you enjoy it!!! I still am confused on why we lost the Talkzone though because I wasn’t here for a few weeks. So can someone explain to me what happened? Nobody has to answer my question though…. Bye!!
TomAngleberger
SFs….
I answered a lot of questions.
But I also spent a lot of time deleting CHAT.
Look, we’ve tried chatting and TZ and it always leads to disaster.
Plus, it pushes down real questions.
It’s got to stop! I’ll have to ask Sam to suspend people if it keeps up.
-Tom
TheDarthYoda
Sorry Tom!! Your right!! This is no place for chatting!!
TheDarthYoda
Guys Lets face it were trying to turn this into a talkzone. We should just face the terrible truth that it’s not coming back. I did want it back but now I realize we don’t deserve it. We took advantage of our chatting and it got a little overboard. So why would Tom want to try again? Now this comment isn’t supposed to hurt anyone in any way. I am not blaming anybody for our loss of the talkzone. Sooner or later, if this little commenting place is still open, we might have problems again. I just wish we could all follow the rules Tom put up on his website to help us, not to limit our imagination or commenting. Let’s stick to the rules so this can be the best origami website ever! Let’s be a Harvey free community again! Now remember not to post any rude,mean, or role-playing comments. Don’t take this comment the wrong way. I am also disappointed that the superfolder talkzone is gone. Let’s just enjoy this little commenting place while we still have it Well see you Superfolders later!!
P.S Mega Luacrio instructions are creeping around the corner
P.P.S More pokegami to come
anakinfolder5000
I did not get to use the talk zone because I could not figure out my super folder acount
TheEvilJawa
Tom, what day did Origami Yoda release? I know it was 2010, but I need the exact day. It’s for a memorial site to SF’s who have left the OY Community.

TheDarthYoda

TomAngleberger
The Showcases are virtual… they’re here on the Website not in any one place….
TheDarthYoda
Sorry im a bit new to showcases so I didnt know.
OrigamiJediYoda24
A question for Tom and all of the super-folders: Who would you want to be for Halloween?
Banthafolder
Sara from the books
Ed_the_Brit
Though I am too old for trick or treating, I would love to go as an Ood from Doctor Who. If you don’t know what they are, google ’em. Scary stuff!!
TomAngleberger
I’m going to be Prof. Funtime!

SF_Joel_Skyfolder
hey tom what is your book return of the jedi about?
TomAngleberger
It is a novel based on the movie!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
ooh cool! 🙂
TheDarthYoda
Nice Idea SF_Joel_Skyfolder! I vote for another Jedi Academy Book!!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
TOM!!! I JUST GOT THE STAR WARS MOD FOR MINECRAFT FORGE-1.7.2… MOST STOOOOOKY MOD EVAH!!!
TomAngleberger
Cool!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Tom can you team up with jeffry brown to make another jedi academy book, where Roan is is past the padawan level, and there is a bunch of new kids that basically resemble the guys at mcquarrie middle school, like dwy, kellone, tomy, and harv. and dwy lived with wookies and invented this miraculous thing called paper. And then he invents origami, after the field trip to mos espa on tatooine…
anakinfolder5000
sounds super stooky
TheDarthYoda
Epicness spilled on a comment box!!!
But your forgetting one thing. Maybe dwight could learn the force and use it to make a Origami yoda!!! And Harvey could join Dark Side Academy and join Darrth Vader, His father!! And luke is his brother!! Then harvey uses his darkness to make origami darth vader!!
I HAVE A THEORY ABOUT DWIGHT’S father!!
His father could be one of the developer’s sons!!
Maybe that could explain why he knows Yoda’s Origin story!! What do you think about this theory???
SF_PaperDragon
There is no origin story. George Lucas either is the sole possessor of that knowledge or he didn’t ever expand on that even in his head because it’s one of those things that’s so secret even the authro doesn’t explain it to himself. So when someone asks he says no comment because there really is nothing to tell and he just won’t let anybody else come up with the answer. It’s to preserve Yoda’s mystery. He wants to drive people crazy by not telling. But now Disney will probably reveal it and he’s fine with that. The joke is old, if it was a joke. Tom, do you want to know what Yoda’s story is or do you think you should be kept wanting to know?
Banthafolder
STOOKY
TheDarthYoda
Whoa!!! You really found a explanation for my theory!!
Nice dude or girl!!
TomAngleberger
Well…. Jeffrey Brown is doing pretty well without my help!
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
it would still be cool though… 🙂
anakinfolder5000
hey tom, do you have any advice for making a origami yoda expanded universe book and I’m a new super folder.
TheDarthYoda
It’s simple!! You just need to find something your into let’s say pokemon, then you make it fit into the story,doodle on it, add jokes and drama and cheetos [you could do it without cheetos though] and finally make origami and have fun!!! Maybe get some help from some of your friends or something!! Have fun!
TomAngleberger
I suggest taking a real incident from your life and seeing how an Origami puppet could have changed it…
TheDarthYoda
That´s something I forgot to mention but yeah!! Add real incidents from your life too!
anakinfolder5000
thanks for your help
Jessenia
Tom, do you like potatoes? (PS GUYS STOP WITH TALKZONE COMMENTS)
SF_FOLDYBEN
can you change a comment? I mean like if you want to put something else.
SF_PaperDragon
I’m sure he can, but he doesn’t. I mean, this is powered by WP, so yes he can, but for some reason (probably because he doesn’t have a reason to do it, I mean why would he) he doesn’t. I don’t on my site either. I’m fine with typos, so the only thing I do with comments is approve and delete them.
TomAngleberger
SFs can’t change comments….
Froggy
What is your superfolder name Tom?
doodlebrine
TomAngleburger. duh!
Jessenia
*Tom Angleberger…
SF_PaperDragon
He’s not a SuperFolder. His title is unknown and the significance is hard to put in words…
TomAngleberger

doodlebrine
Tom who helped you make origami yoda come to life?
TomAngleberger

Wooktent
Tom I just wanna say one thing. In the last book Keller said that him and Dwight were making a new how to book… Does that mean that there really is one more Of book coming out? Will you really make Kellen & Dwight’s last book? Plz reply.
Banthafolder
I think he was referring to art2d2
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
no, it says they were making a NEW how to case file, probably not art2, maybe though
SF_PaperDragon
Yes please follow up with Kellen’s promise!
TomAngleberger
Kellen is referring to a new book.
Whether that book will ever get published is unclear…
SF_Darth_Jawa
Hi tom! Will you ever go to OKC? I would love to meet you in person:D
TomAngleberger
I’d love to!
OrigamiJediYoda24
Tom, can I have your Emperor Pickletine
OrigamiJediYoda24

TomAngleberger
Sorry,,,, he’s staying here for now… plus his pickle has mummified.
Froggy
Tom do you at least remember how to make cover Yoda’s face? I know the rest of the instructions. Maybe if you unfold it and fold it again you can remember.
Brace_Face
Yup! DV is right!
doodlebrine
I think it was just random/good design
Froggy
Oh,sorry
TomAngleberger
Yep
Rebeljedi
Tom, where did you buy the green and brown paper (on your YouTube video about how to fold the “deluxe Yoda”)? I searched online for 30 minutes!!! Please reply!

TomAngleberger

Jessenia

TheUnfoldedOrigami
Tom would new showcase be good for notecard-igami where you need to make the best fold with only one note card/sticky note bc my friend made an origami that has about 8 changeable faces on one paper.
TheUnfoldedOrigami

TomAngleberger
We can try that sometime, but this one is for costumes and pumpkins….
TheUnfoldedOrigami

Jessenia

doodlebrine

Brace_Face
