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!
quigonjack
Tom could you put the foldy wan instructions on the how to fold page?
Lord_Vader
Search my name
TomAngleberger
I thought they were.
Sam? Can you do this?
OrigamiSensei
Could you please put up c 3p0 instructions. I don’t care that much if it’s sloppy.
TomAngleberger
The ones in the Art2D2 book will get you pretty close!
TheEvilJawa
Hey Tom! A few days ago I asked some questions that you missed I guess. They were like 3 or 4 different comments, so I’ll put them all in this one-
1. I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a while now, but when I went to the launch for Pickletine, I had 3 SFs come up to me and ask for my autograph! I thought that was so cool!
2. Tom, am I allowed to submit picture from when I visited JC and CJ if we are dressed up as our characters from OY: The Series? Or is that still against the rules?
3. Tom, how did you get into writing books? And what was your unfinished novel in the 8th grade about?
4. If you could travel to any point in time for 1 day, when would it be?
“Where the heck are we Doc?”
“No, Marty. WHEN the heck are we?”
🙂
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
Well, I would go to next year, to see if Back to the Future 2 actually happens…
Brace_Face
Ha! Biff……..
Geekoid
I would go to 2200 to a) see if mankind still existed and b) if they still excisted steal their technology and hope it doesnt create a paradox and i dont think u can submit pics featuring u!
Geekoid
A STRICT policy on the new site is NO PEOPLE in your origami photos, including you. (Your hand is okay, but that’s it!) so probably No
SWF12
I would go to… Hmm.. I’d like to go to… the release date of Qwikpick 3. WHEE, BUYING BOOK TIME!
TomAngleberger
1. COOL!
2. I guess we better now…. 🙁
3. I just decided to do it and then failed at it for a LONG time. Cuba.
4. Hmmmm… how about the Star Wars premiere in 1977?
MaxReboRules
Tom, do u think you can come to CA
TomAngleberger
I think I;ll be doing some California visits in the spring
Chewy14
Almost finished with season 2! Doctor Who season 3 here I come! And are you coming to Idaho anytime soon Tom?
TomAngleberger
Probably not…
Darth_Lukeious111
Tom, the TTT picture is sooooo funny. Origami R2 says BEEP BOOP WHIIIIISTLE!
Darth_Lukeious111
Plus, can I have the Cover Darth Paper? I’ll take good care of him!
Brace_Face
He already has… to a SW Museum!
Lord_Vader
Like COY
rebels1234
tom, will you send me the cover yoda for the first book via email to me? if you could, that would be ssoooooo stooky!
SF_Mega3
Tom, will the whiteboard treatment be applied to the other OY books???
Captain_origami
Thinking the same thing too Mega.
SF_Joel_Skyfolder
Tom when can we see return of the jedi cover?
SFRobby
Tom, will that whiteboard cover be on hardcover versions? I want to get OY and DP on hardcover since I only have paperbacks right now, and maybe even replace my scratched up FW.
sfyoda
hey Mr. Angleberger, I drew the medical droid from FW it is totally triangular and it looks like the doodle in the book
TomAngleberger
Great!!!! Submit it!
Jessenia
WOAHHHH THAT NEW COVER LOOKS GREAT TOM
TomAngleberger
Thanks!
MasterFoldrGrievous
when will that return of the Jedi book come out?
TomAngleberger
Next summer
MasterFoldrGrievous
cool cover for the 2nd Quickpik papers book!
TomAngleberger
Thanks!!!
TomAngleberger
OK, SFs!
I left a LOT of answers…. so scroll down and click more and scroll again if you want to read them.———————————- I also deleted a LOT of chatty comments.
Jessenia
Thanks
jedijoey
Tom, Boussh instrux are coming to you Monday. Well, I’m sending it then.
TomAngleberger
GREAT!
jedijoey
That OY cover is sweet!
TomAngleberger
GLad you like it!
jedijoey
Did you know that R4P17 has an R2 series dome because Anakin repaired it that way?
TomAngleberger
Ah…. I didn’t know that!
jedijoey
Translation: I said What did you think of SWR? Someone asked what SWR means Star Wars Rebels.
JediMasterAntonio
Will you make Kellen put the new how to case file he was talking about in Emperor Pickletine on sale?
TomAngleberger
Hoping that works out!
SF_Skyfolder
tom i just found this out but did you know that star wars rebels characters are based on real star wars characters. and some real sw people guest star. anyway chopper is r2, kanan is qui gon, ezra is anakin, zeb is chewbacka, the girl is a mandorian, and the pilot of the ghost ship is based of of a partier in jabba’s palace
TomAngleberger
Not sure where you heard that… but I don’t think that’s exactly it.
Chopper and R2 are different droids and both exist in the same galaxy at the same time. In fact, I bet they’ll meet.
Anakin is now Darth Vader, who I understand will be appearing on Rebels sooN!
jedijoey
They DO meet in droids of distress!
jedijoey
You mean Hera is based on Oola? I agree with Tom. They exist in the same galaxy.
SFRobby
Hera isn’t based on Oola. Oola is a slave twilek. Hera is a pilot twilek. That’s like saying Hera is based on Bib Fortuna.
SFRobby
Chopper is based on concept art for R2. He isn’t based on the real R2-D2.
Kanan isn’t based on Qui-Gon. He is just a regular Jedi master. He acts just like Obi-wan and Yoda. All masters act like wise instructors.
Ezra is NOT based on Luke. Luke is a whiney farm boy. Ezra is street orphan who sells stuff on the black market.
The girl just wears a mandelorian helmet. She isn’t based on a mandelorian.
SF_Skyfolder
i just mean the drawings of them.with that being said inquistor is vader with no helmet. THE DRAWINGS ARE BASED ON THEM
Arrow
What’s all this business with new covers? ?_?
Jessenia
Yeah what new OY book?
TomAngleberger
Where’d you hear this?
Arrow
I actually saw it on Abramsbooks.com before this.
TheRlOrigamiRebelion
Hey Tom, will you ever be coming to Reno/Nevada?
TomAngleberger
Could be awhile…. sorry.
Jessenia
TOMM where areeee youuuuuuuu (I think you would say “I’m right here!”)
TomAngleberger
I’m right here!
Jessenia
Knew it 😀
Captain_origami
Tom, check out my site:
http://origamimayhem.wordpress.com/
I made an origami Sabine Warn (really Sharpine Warn) and posted it! You really should check it out!
P.S. The other two posts where from SuperFolder Batman_Returns so ignore it and see the one after that and you’ll see it! 🙂
Captain_origami
Sharpine this is going to be fun. Really fun.
TomAngleberger
Brilliant!
Captain_origami
Thanks!
Lord_Vader
I had a dream that I met you and you were kinda rude to me when I said I was SF Lord_Vader. Weird. I do not think that would actually happen, because the bookstore was closed when that happened.
Jessenia
Weird.
SuperFolder22

TomAngleberger

chewie5
Hey Tom, I was just reading Star Wars magazine and in it I saw a picture of you with Artoo and Boba Fett!

BatMan_Returns
Tom, how come the cover for QuickPick changed? It’s now blue and doesn’t have the pictures of the kids. And I also saw the cover of the second one too. It was orange with a mouse trap that has a doodle of a rat inserted into it.
Captain_origami

TomAngleberger

Mace_Kendu
