Origami Yoda II: Darth Paper Strikes Back! Folding Instructions + Contest! #starwars

11 at 11:06 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

Finally, I can reveal the secret! Darth Vader is the Star Wars star of the sequel to The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, which will be called…

Darth Paper Strikes Back!

Darth Vader was the strong favorite in the Origami Who poll, beating Han & Chewie, Admiral Ackbar and a Clone Trooper by thousands of votes! So I’m very glad to say the majority was right! Darth will be coming to McQuarrie Middle School along with Dwight, Tommy, Kellen, Sara, Rhondella and just about everybody else from the first book including Origami Yoda.

Want to guess who brings him to school? Dwight? No way! Tommy? Nope. Harvey? No comment!

The book comes out next FALL. In the meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy Horton Halfpott (Spring 2011) and, of course, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda.

Now… let’s get down to business… Folding instructions and contest details!
Darth Paper wants to take over the world!!!! And I’m asking you super-folders to help him do it!!

First, you need your own Darth Paper …

Folding intructions. Just click on each one to see it bigger…

The Contest:

How would you like to be one of the first people on THIS planet to read “Darth Paper Strikes Back?”

If you win this contest you can be. The winners of this contest will receive an ADVANCE copy of the book directly from me long before it is available in stores next Fall. (They’ll have to promise not to give away the INCREDIBLE, MIND-BLOWING ENDING, of course!)

Here’s how to enter: Once you’ve made your own Darth Paper, take a photo of him somewhere interesting…. your school cafeteria, the Corn Palace in South Dakota, the White House, your Grandma’s kitchen, the Death Star…. anywhere you happen to be. The 5 people who send in the coolest photos win*. (To be chosen by judges.)
One grand prize will also win an original illustration from the book!

Just send it as an EMAIL ATTACHMENT to tom@origamiyoda.com
(please resize photos to 800px before emailing)

I’m going to post the pictures on some sort of big photo map and we’ll see if Darth can really take over the whole planet!

Enter as often as you want No purchase necessary … but you will need to fold a Darth Paper!

Kirk Edward Mcdougall wrote @ 11 at 3:44 am

tom i have 3 problems the first one is when i bring my origami star wars to school my two friends sean and hannah always sneak them and say in a weind voice “what is your question! the second one is when my teacher sees them she takes them away i’ll try to keep my origami from her clutches!! the thirdone is when i show my classmates they want instrouctions and i always have to go to your sites and wait for my slow printer to print pages. could you ask your yoda what i should do.( i’m glad it’s summer.)

Tom Angleberger wrote @ 11 at 10:37 pm

New friends you need!

Just kidding. They sound like great friends to me… but tell them to print out their own instructions…

cade skywalker wrote @ 11 at 9:19 pm

Michael wrote @ 11 at 8:58 pm

I feel ya teachers will never understand how hard it is to make theese things. one time i was so upset about it i fished it out of the trash she didnt notice another time i got sent to the office becuase of a ‘sarcastic comment’ when i come back about 3 months of progress cleaned out of my desk :<

Tom Angleberger wrote @ 11 at 11:25 pm

That is harsh!!!

jifive origami mode wrote @ 11 at 11:41 pm

Yeah, same thing happened to me last year. I’d mak something like a crane or yoda(I can make other things too, but I don’t want to list them though.)and my teacher would walk over and crumple it up, and SHOCKER! throws it n the trash. So I ended up going through about a pack of paper a month.

cade skywalker wrote @ 11 at 9:28 pm

Hey guys, if you want to make one almost EXACTLY like the cover, make a pleat on the bottom of the paper before beginning, use a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of paer, and use a silver marker instead of a white one.
