And the sequel is …. Darth Paper Strikes Back!

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 happy to say that the majority was right this time and 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 intructions. Here they are! 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 “Origami Yoda II: Darth Paper Strikes Back?”

If you win this contest you can be. The winner 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 person who sends in the coolest photo wins*. (To be chosen by judges.)

Just send it as an EMAIL ATTACHMENT to tom@origamiyoda.com. Be sure to tell me what state/country the photo was taken in. (And if you can resize it to 800px that would be great!)

No purchase necessary … but you will need to fold a Darth Paper!

  superfolder of legends wrote @

hi tom! how do you make that helmet part so long? and and how big should the sheet of paper be? 1/4 or 1/2 or a whole sheet?

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Try with a whole sheet, but trim one inch of a side… Once you get comfortable you can try a 1/2…

  Jack Tolen wrote @

kellen brings it !

  s15703 wrote @

actually no..
‘no more spoilers…

  Javier wrote @

Thank you so much for the instructions!!! I am a huge origami guy and Iv tried folding it with black/white origami paper and noticed that it dose not work out like that. I think I have to use just black paper am I right?

  Jack Tolen wrote @

i tried i using black paper also, it was very small, but the picture tom took up at the top must be zoomed in because black/white paper does not work, so heres what you do. fold the paper in half, and cut on the line, that should be a big enough peice of paper.

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Actually, you can fold it with black/white paper… there’s just an extra step involved. Basically, you need to fold up the bottom edge and tuck it under his chin. It helps to have the paper be a bit longer.

I didn’t include that in the instructions, since I didn’t think most people would have access to black/white paper. I special ordered a stack of it from an origami company.

  Javier wrote @

Thanks!

  darth paper wrote @

its obiously harvey who brings it, it says in the instructions

  AustinM wrote @

  AustinM wrote @

The folding instructions for darth paper say invented by Harvey so Harvey brings darth paper th school.

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

  Jimmy wrote @

When does the contest end?

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

I’m going to post the official rules … including the end date in a few days. You’ll have at least a couple of months…

  Jimmy wrote @

I found a way to get a better-sized (in my opinion) Darth Paper. You use a quarter of a regular paper to start. When you finish, he’s a little easier to hold…

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Good job, Jimmy. Experimenting with the paper size is a great way to fold better origami!

  Sierra wrote @

i always use a quarter of regular paper, because then you can get 4 modules instead of one, i also figured out how to use these instructionst o make a clone trooper, you just tuck the mouth thing backwards under itself instead of infront and at the end you draw on all the lines for features and make a paper gun and tape it on. i am in the proess of making a clone army, i have capitain rex and like 5 clone troopers already!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Wow! Let’s see some pictures!

  Darth Paper wrote @

Hey tom make a Cover Darth Paper instructions or sell the cover one i want it real bad i’m just wondering

I looked up the Van Jahnke Yoda and It isn’t real.

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Maybe it’s real, but is top secret!

  MichaelT wrote @

When i look it up, I get the Kawahata Yoda. I have a theory as to just who Van Jahnke is…

  Bobby mueller wrote @

is this austin michelson from mrs nelson’s class,i also want too see oy 2’s bookcover

  AustinM wrote @

Hi Bobby! Yes it’s your good ol pal Austin!!!

  Jimmy wrote @

Off topic: Is there a site with instructions for the Van Jhanke Yoda?

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

No…. I’m still waiting for someone to figure out how to fold it. Van Jahnke is a mysterious, but very cool dude!

  josh benson wrote @

were is the van jahnke yoda @ tom ???????//

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

I’m still waiting for one of you Super-Folders to make one! (And don’t ask for instructions. They don’t exist.)

  AustinM wrote @

Tom I figured out how to fold a Van Jahnke Yoda! Once I’m done, I’ll send a picture!!!!!!!!!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

I MUST see that picture! I can’t wait!

  AustinM wrote @

You know Van Jhanke?

  Ian wrote @

Hey Tom. When are you going t post the cover for the next book. Also, can you give us a brief summary of what the next book is about? That would be great.

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

There’s no cover yet.

Summary of the next book: BIG TROUBLE!

  Ian wrote @

Also, will you ever tell us more about Van Jahnke?

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

I can’t tell you any more about him. Maybe some day he’ll tell you about himself!

  Ahmad wrote @

hey tom I will send in my pics of my yoda/vader family all different sizes and colours soon but how do you make a yoda with a brown cloak? I would love to know because at school I have a shop that sells yodas and vaders and they will love it!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

To get a brown cloak, you need to fold Yoda froma piece of paper that is green on one side and brown on the other. You can simply glue a brown sheet to a green sheet, but it may be tricky to fold.

  Ahmad wrote @

thanks a llloooooottttt tom it helps. which side do you start with???????

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

If you are asking how to fold Darth Paper with black/white paper… Start white side up!

zero hour is near prepair to meet your DOOM!!!

  Yodamaster wrote @

All right. Now I know Harvey will bring it in. I think he’s still against Dwight and Origami Yoda. I seriously think Harvey will once again try to convince everyone that Dwight is just an avarage wierdo and try to destroy Origami Yoda in the duel that was never meant to be (Yoda vs Vader).

  Matthew wrote @

Yea. If u watch all 6 Star Wars Movies, u will notice that Yoda and Vader NEVER duel.

  darth vader wrote @

Hey tom can you PLEASE MAKE ORIGAMI C-3PO.

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

I’ve finished Counterfeit Island! Yes, I thought it was cool that you had to go to a different island. They should have one where you have to find one thing on each island…

  Bernie wrote @

Hey in case anybody doesn’t have black paper or white markers, you can get both at most arts and craft store, like a.c.moore. You may not think it makes that much of a difference, but it really looks better.

  Ethan wrote @

I think origami yoda defeated darth paper.

  bob wrote @

I think the story is sooooooooooooooooooooo boss

  Bernie wrote @

Also, to make the darth paper look more like the one on the cover, use an 11 1/2 ( or whatever the average length of a paper is) by 4 1/4 piece of paper and a silver (not white) painty twin marker. I recently found out silver looks much better. And to get the pouch, make a pleat at the bottom of the page before you do anything.

it looks easy to turn it into a emperor.

  Rakuto Akata wrote @

tom… HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS STUFF SO GOOD??!!!! i am horrible.

  Rakuto Akata wrote @

I think I found out how to make cover darth. i cut of 1/4 of the short side and instead of folding the tip all the way to the bottom i folded it to the middle of the pleat i made for the pocket.

  Rakuto Akata wrote @

i think it looks a lot like it anyway

  Rakuto Akata wrote @

please reply tom cuz if u dont…who knows what fate will befall you
