Superfolder Landon wrote @
Duh we know SF Xarl I did not think it was General G! I thought it was Luke. I just think it would be cool if the next book would be about him!
SF Xarl wrote @
No. Dwight. Sara gets it. Dwight folds. Kellen draws. Tommy types. Harvey complains. Everything normal.

How do you call – write- the sound which Chewbacca makes ?
In film it was a mix of the voice of black bear Tarik, of walrus, of camel and badger :-)
Oh, oh this book will have a very difficult book report :-)
Good Night from Germany!

Yodamaster wrote @
Dude this took me two hours with all the cutting and pasting. If you made like a replica of the cover one, you wouldn’t be saying that.
SuperFolder MichaelT wrote @
I made two. The first one took one hour and the second one Five hours. They don’t quite look like the cover one.
sf DAMIEN wrote @
wow! really good. also, i didn’t even notice it was a fortune teller!very easy to fold!
mattweb2000 wrote @
Oh my GOSH! Fortune Wookie! So awesome! I get it….I’m making myself one RIGHT NOW!
Superfolder Artoo wrote @
I knew it was called the Fortune Wookie (I won the contest) but I didn’t know he mention a FORTUNE TELLER Wookie.
eviljawa54 wrote @
Ha Ha! Very clever Tom! That’s HILARIOUS! Also, like everyone else who folds him?
Yodamaster wrote @
you know what guys, I think another kid at Tippet is EXACTLY like Dwight himself, and he gives advice with his Origami Fortune Wookiee, and Dwight and Origami Yoda must compete to see who’s advice is real, or maybe they’re both real, who knows?….
Star Wars Fan Max wrote @
You know, since Chewbacca can’t talk, maybe they use the fortunes on the back to get advice from him!
SF Xarl wrote @
Search “paper fortune teller.” Once you’ve made it, just decorate it and cut out stuff for his face and ammo clip. Not that hard, if you can follow the instructions right and you have twelve hours of spare time.
superfolder charlie b wrote @
i made a fortune wookie too! i am emailing him to tom. ps it will be up soon. pps i am typing this with my fortune wookie on my hand!
SuperFolder Yoda wrote @
Yodamaster, the “Who’s advice is real” think was in DPSB already. I think since Dwight is gone, Petey (The new kid) will help the school by folding a Fortune Wookie, and then everyone will treat I’m like the new Dwight.
Yodamaster wrote @
but tom said that EVERYONE returns, plus, Dwight may run into some “troubles” at Tippet.
starwarsfanmax wrote @
And on the OFFICIAL Amazon.com description, they said that Dwight is starting to fit in at Tippet. And for Dwight, that’s kind of a trouble, because… wait, I can’t say anymore, because Tom said I couldn’t (it’s a long story).
kenobi wrote @
cool and yodamaster ur right about the two pieces of paper and it is pretty hard to cut it right
Yodamaster wrote @
fouth is not fett, that I know because of some “mess up” with some General G. Instrux I had made a while back……..
mattweb2000 wrote @
awesome! i made one and ill send it to you to join the fortune wookie leigion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lukeskypaper wrote @
OMG its not from the origami yoda series its from the Kirigami series THERES PAPER GLUED ON IT
Yodamaster wrote @
oh my god dude, seriously? It looks great! Tom uses Kirigami, and so do I and everyone else on here.
superfolder kainoa wrote @

breezinator wrote @
Hey, this is Superfolder Ben R. Please go and check out my blog flatbillsandawesomesauce.wordpress.com. Go to the Awesome Origami page, I have my origami chewacca instrux on there! This was all thanks to Tom, if he hadn’t written OY, then I wouldn’t have started folding origami. Thanks Tom!!
Superfolder Alex wrote @
OY, DP, & FW! All changing lives at McQuarrie Middle School.
I am assuming that Chewie will change lives because, well, he’s Chewie! How can he not?

I’m flyin’ in the Falcon and this is what I see, TIE Fighters stop and they start shootin’ at me I got passion in this bandoiler and I ain’t afraid to show it, show it, show it… I’m Chewie and I know it!

YAY!! cannot wait, and will also be incorporating the books into the Summer Reading Program!!
zackbob7 wrote @
On Amazon, if you look at the pre-order of the book it says that Dwight makes the Fortune Wookiee and gives it to Sara.
oyitleader wrote @
aw man!i thought it would be chewbacca… i just didn’t think he would be a fortune teller…
superfolderhumza wrote @
XD! i see what you did there. u took fortune cookie and removed cookie and added wookie.i have an idea on the story already.don,t tell me if i,m right or wrong. at dwights new school origami yoda gives advice to well everyone but some kid gets jeleous and creates the fortune wookie and suprisingy starts to over throw OY and dwight needs to make a comeback.tommy tries to help by creating han foldo which dwight made for him in return for trying his best to help him stay at mcquirre by asking him which was his tommys favorite SW character and he helps dwight comepete with the FW
SuperFolder Jamin wrote @
Tom go on amozon and look up origami Yoda 3 and it tells you what its about, are they allowed to do that or CAN they?
Super folder Tristan wrote @
Hey tom I made a fortune wookiee like on the intructions online but it doesn’t look like the one on the book. Can I still send you a picture.
hansek123 wrote @

Super folder Tristan wrote @
Tom can I be in the book I’ll even send instructions for my best yoda and if yes can I be a fifth grader going around with Han Foldo PLEASE
Superfolder Princess wrote @
How can we get into the book? My friends yoda died(little sister dropped him i puddle I think) Then we had a funeral for him :-‘(
Yodamaster wrote @
Guys, i know the plot: Dwight makes the Fortune Wookie (chewie) and gives it to Sara to give advice with at Maquarriee, and Dwight starts to turn normal at Tipett, so the gang has to remind him that in his wierdness, lies his greatness. Guys, this is no joke, it’s the REAL plot!
starwarsfanmax wrote @
Wait a minute, dwight gives Sara the FW so they can have advice when dwight is gone. But why can’t they just use Tommy’s Yoda?
Robby wrote @
Tom doesn’t have a Yoda. In the epilogue Dwight takes Yoda back remember:”I’m going to need him at my new school” “Wait, you mean CREF?” “No my mom transferred me to a private school,Tippett Academy.”
starwarsfanmax wrote @
Actually, Tommy does have a Yoda. In book 1, Tommy begs Dwight to show him how to make one, thus the instrux in book 1.
Empaper wrote @
Tom, why cant you publish the book in July, before my birthday so it can be a present?
Tom Angleberger wrote @
I’ ve finished the book…. it’s a question of how fast can the printer print a million copies and ship them to bookstores now.

They spelled Wookie wrong… Embarrassing.
Attention all Superfolders! I know What the Secret of the Fortune Wookiee is about! Dwight is doing well at the Tippet Academy school Dwight gives Sara a present and it is a fortune teller in the form of Chewbacca! But the kids at Mquarrie Middlle school are doing bad though. there is no more Origami yoda Sara brings the fortune wookiee to school and it seems to give the same advice like origami yoda did! Even if it is in the hands of the girls he has been giving advice about romance with the help of Han Foldo. Meanwhile Dwight is fitting in too well. Has the unimaginable happend? Has Dwight become NORMAL? It is up to his friends to get their kooky friend back! Will Chewbacca save the day? This book will be totally Stooky! YOU CAN BUY IT OF AMAZON TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never mind you v=can pre- order it and get it in August sorry!
How’d you know all that?
I knew that because of… er… um… something secret.
Tom were you able to get my name in the aknoledgement pages? If you did not that is okay I will have paitence untill next book.
